Philosophy

Vision

We make games because we love how games can bring people together in a play-full manner. Games have a goal that can become a shared goal. Creating bonds between people and environments that never met before. The endless possibilities that this ideology brings are what fascinate us most.

We like to create games that suit the needs of our users. Therefore close attention is paid to the feedback that we get from our community and from professionals around us.

Our small team makes it easily to manoeuvre and make newly set goals and targets reality.

We focus excessively on providing an interactive atmosphere where each person that becomes involved is able to fulfil his ideal role in the bigger structure. This goes for the game and all other contact points a client, or partner has with Catching Games.  

Our work mentality is ambitious, open-minded, dynamic and structured, making it possible to get things done and making dreams come through. There is room for reflection and for improvement. We build, test, reflect and adjust. Not just the games but the company too. Agile, scrum and workflow methodologies are at the heart of the company.
