Over The Game was born from the vision and heart of our founder, Massimiliano Patané, a former programmer with a dream of bringing space to the screens of gamers.
But Over The Game isn’t just about creating video games. Our values go far beyond what you might find written on a wall. These core principles shape everything we do. They are our superpowers, guiding the way we think, the decisions we make, and the actions we take.
Create with hearth
At the heart of Over The Game there is our philosophy: “create with heart”. This means not only putting passion into everything we do, but also creating games that have a meaningful impact on society. For us, every game is more than just entertainment; it’s an opportunity to address important issues and to use technology to bring people together.
Passion, dedication, and a commitment to listening to our players are what drive us. We aspire to create immersive worlds that convey meaningful values, all reflected in our payoff: “player heartbits” – a play on words combining heartbeats and bits, symbolizing the emotions and stories that pulse through our games.
Think big
We are ambitious, always aiming high. Another core value of ours is “think big”. We don’t just want to create successful games; we aim to make a lasting impact. Our team is constantly learning, pushing boundaries, and seeking improvement in every small detail. We keep the big picture in mind, but we also believe in noticing every leaf on the tree, paying attention to every part of the process.
Always tend your garden
Our motto, “always tend your garden”, may sound a little Zen, but it holds deep significance for us. It means that we strive every day to improve what we create, treating our work like a personal garden that needs care, attention, and constant nurturing.
For us, there’s no such thing as “this doesn’t concern me”. Every team member at Over The Game is part of a larger whole, working together like the Power Rangers – each with their own color and task, but united in a bigger mission. We know that to achieve success, every aspect of our work -whether it’s a big feature or a small detail – must be well – tended, like a thriving garden where flowers, trees, and even weeds need attention.
Embraces diversity
On the governance side, a term as dull as it is crucial, we believe that diversity strengthens Over The Game. We’re not just aiming for gender balance, although we are proud to have 40% of our team made up of women. What we truly strive for is a team that mirrors the diversity of the world we create our games for. Diverse perspectives make us stronger and allow us to build games that resonate with a wide range of players.
Over The Game is much more than a game production company. It’s a garden where we nurture passion, innovation, and diversity. Like any skilled gardener knows, cultivating something extraordinary takes dedication, patience, and a touch of madness.
We’re here to leave our mark, one heartfelt bit at a time.
