Our Beliefs on Diversity

 

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are values embedded in the genetic code of our company.

At Summerfall Studios, we celebrate and champion different perspectives and backgrounds. We believe it is our shared responsibility to advocate and work to create a positive impact in the wider games industry—to foster a safe, welcoming, and supportive community for developers and players alike. We begin in our own backyard by ensuring an inclusive, vibrant workplace culture at Summerfall in which our team members can learn, grow, and thrive as industry professionals.

Through our continuous efforts to improve, our policies and practices demonstrate our dedication to build a diverse workforce and leadership team that reflect our communities. As such, Summerfall’s culture is collaborative and ever-evolving, because of the diversity of thought, experiences, and identity at our studio.

As game developers, we wish to challenge inequality and use our platforms to amplify marginalised voices and uplift underrepresented creators. We recognise that taking a stand against social injustices is an on-going commitment, and we are prepared for the marathon ahead to bring meaningful change that is so sorely needed in this world.

  • Operate with empathy, kindness, and respect to our colleagues, partners, and communities

  • Acknowledge biases at both individual and institutional levels, and find ways to mitigate their impact on our behaviour and decisions
