Indie Vibes, Corporate Benefits

Roll7's name comes from its origins as sister company to Multimedia Education Company RollingSound. The 7 is because 'that's one more than you can roll on a normal dice'. Obviously!

Everything happens for a reason

When I first applied for the role, I didn't think Roll7 was a legit company. The old website wasn't as fancy as this one and everyone was fully remote (omg - who even did that pre-2020?!) Thankfully I decided to take the plunge and apply, and it turns out not only is it legit but it's been my best career/life move to date!

It'll all come out in the wash.

It was 8 months from applying to Roll7 to getting a job :)

I planned on being an antiques dealer but somehow ended up making video games

“There’s time in this meeting for some fun facts about medieval history, right?”

Started at Roll7 as an Admin Assistant. Simon, in the interview: “This is not going to become a narrative design role.”

My job is half animating, half wondering why this animation doesn't loop properly.

Don't aim to be successful, aim to be happy!

Call it irony, but I broke my collarbone skateboarding during development of OlliOlli World...

Don't stress about things you have no influence upon

I am a total sucker for French comic books, especially those released in Métal hurlant. However, when I joined the Rollerdrome team I was not fully aware what the art style of the game was (I knew it is going to be heavily stylized). During one of the introductory meetings I realized that the game goes full-on Moebius and I was over the moon.

Move fast and break things! Namely mugs, skateboards or the game we're working on.

I had the privilege of taking a bunch of our official marketing screenshots for Rollerdrome, which was awesome!

Don't crunch. In 20 years, the only people that will remember you worked late are the family and friends that missed you.

I've been making games in some shape or form since about 1997 and Roll7 is the only games company I've ever worked for. From it's scrappy indie roots to where we are now, I'm so proud that it's grown and become home to so many lovely, talented and collaborative people.

‘Bring me remarkable’

Over the last 15 years there has been a book’s worth of stories working here at Roll7! So I’ll pick the thing that matters most to me! Something I am super proud of at the Studio is how passionate and good natured our team are, I am often humbled by some of the things I see and hear!

You can only do one thing at a time!

I'm incredibly proud to have implemented our no crunch policy and create a company culture that thrives on compassion and kindness whilst striving for impeccable quality
