For me the thing that gives me the greatest pleasure working at Q-Games is that everyone here, staff, senior managers right up to the President of the company is fixated on making 'the best game they can' and this never changes, regardless of the project we are working on. I like the fact that we are able to define our own roles.

Game development requires a limited number of people to work together in a limited amount of time. As each member of the team has their own ideas we build things up and tear them down, build up and tear down, rinse and repeat. All challenges have an element of risk, so it's all the more important to 'Think Clever' when being creative.

People are often surprised when they realize how much and how closely we have to work together at Q-Games. Inspiration is everywhere within Q-Games and outside on the streets of Kyoto. One of the best things about working at Q-Games is the degree of devotion people here have towards game development.

I have been lucky enough to get involved with a large number of exciting projects. Q-Games is always pushing the envelope of the latest hardware and as a result we are constantly at the cutting edge of game development.

Life at Q


We are always looking to create and maintain the most comfortable environment for our employees. Comfort is a fundamental condition for a creative environment. This is a brief introduction to some of our on-site facilities:
