Working from home on Budget Cuts and Garden of the Sea during covid times. Rate our setups??
Since we are a software company, we are able to support our devs in working from home during these times by providing software and hardware to help bridge the distance that we are all experiencing now. That way we can continue to provide games and experiences for people to explore worlds in VR that take them beyond their home.
During this period, we are very happy that we've been able to release content updates to Garden of the Sea, and performance patches to Budget Cuts and Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency
While it hasn't all been straight forward, and some of our workflows have had to change (or even slow down) in order to accommodate our new work style, we do consider ourselves very lucky to have a studio and team that supports us in being able to work from home during these times.
We made sure that anyone who didn't already have a VR capable PC at home could get their desktop sent home from the office, and that everyone got VR kits and hardware at home in order to continue work on our current projects - Budget Cuts for PSVR (which will also get physical copies thanks to our buddies at Perp Games) and our (way too) early access game Garden of the Sea (which now also has its own merchandise over at TheYetee!).
Can you guess which setup belongs to which neatcorp dev?
We also delivered (from a distance) care packages to our developers which had snacks, supplies, and some fun projects that we could do together during our time off from work (like face masks for movie night, and snacks for an animal-crossing gaming evening!)
bonus neatcorp (neco! get it?) cats who are also "working" from home!
