What We're All About

Here at Splash Damage, our goal is simple: We want to develop genre-leading AAA experiences that are highly regarded among reviewers and gamers alike. We've already created the Enemy Territory franchise for id Software winning over 100 awards & nominations and most recently worked with Bethesda Softworks to create the new IP BRINK for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

As a company, our highest priority is to make sure that staff are well-paid. Splash Damage is proud to be able to offer higher than average salaries to its employees, and we make sure all full-time members of staff have private health care and dental insurance, and also offer a contributory pension scheme as well as share options.

We also want to ensure everyone here enjoys a healthy work/life balance. Thanks to our flexitime arrangement, employees are able to manage their start time and working hours, and can convert overtime into extra holiday days. And to help you keep in shape, we offer a complimentary health club and gym membership to all full-time members of staff.

And finally, we pride ourselves on our cultural diversity. With team members hailing from some 18 countries, we are about as diverse as it gets.

Online Interviews

Sometimes we wheel ourselves out from behind our desks in order to talk to people in the media and to spread the Splash Damage gospel. Here are a few of these attempts:

Featured Interviews

The Telegraph interviews Paul Wedgwood
"We're never going to do a film tie in that has to come out in time for the movie, we're not going to do ports or expansions of other people's games unless it's developer IP that we absolutely love. So we'll happily work on other people's IP, but it has to have credibility. There has to be this vision that if we work on an IP it will be brilliant envisaged as a video game."

Edge Online interviews Paul Wedgwood
"Nailing the crunch problem is a real priority for Splash Damage, and getting to a point where, when we do overtime, it's planned in advance and we're able to compensate people appropriately for, in an ideal world, volunteering to do additional work."

Nothing accompanies new Brink previews better than fresh media, and so we're delighted to be able to bring you this charming foursome of new Brink screenshots. Click to enlarge:
