Our culture/values/goals
Ravine is a newborn studio, founded by industry veterans who are tired sick of the design by committee, marketing first, crunchy-burnout-factory approach most AAA and AA productions take.
Our goal is to establish a close knit group of developers who work as a team and take an artistic vision to its best. We don’t aim at growing to infinity, we don’t want to churn out yearly-released content hungry shovelware. We want to just make great games that we’re passionate about, pushing the boundaries of what a game can be.
No corporate bullshit, just following our dreams while being safe and cared for.
Whether you are just getting started or have already enough projects under your belt to know what we’re fed up about, if you too want to give a shot at your dreams, shoot us an email.
