Today we’re going to give you a peek into the work of our client developers. They are the creative minds behind the programs, the ones who make it possible for millions of our users to play Goodgame Empire, Big Farm, and all the other Goodgame Studios games. Read more
Game development requires more than just an idea and a programmer – it starts with clever game designers! But what does a game designer actually do? In today’s blog post, we’d like to share with you just how much goes into the process behind taking a game concept and turning it into the final product. Read more

We can’t say it often enough: we could never be as successful as we are now without our wonderful team! Here at Goodgame Studios, we not only offer on-site training courses to develop our employees’ skills, we also offer an opportunity for dual student-employees to develop their skills and knowledge under real conditions. Our colleague Julian, who’s been a member of the Goodgame team for more than four years, recently completed his dual study program. As the valedictorian of his class, he can now proudly display his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
Here at Goodgame Studios, we strive to engage our managers with thought provoking training seminars. We recently welcomed Henning Böhne, Executive Partner of the Malik Group, for the latest lecture in our Incentive series. Over 100 of our managers participated in his presentation titled, “Good growth through good leadership”.
While growth and constant change are nothing new to Goodgame, they still pose a big challenge. Every month, approximately 50 new employees join our company and expand our existing teams or create completely new ones. To ensure that all of them feel settled here and can get down to work straightaway, we need more than just our already outstanding working atmosphere. We need excellent managers too. The talk addressed precisely this point and provided a good source of knowledge and inspiration for our heads, leads, and senior management.
Goodgame Studios currently employs more than 1000 employees – and since September, our coworker Sophie has been busy ensuring the wellbeing of every single person working here. Her job: feelgood manager.
“There’s no such thing as a classic feelgood manager!” said the 29 year old, who already has experience providing coaching in a variety of companies. A feelgood manager’s duties vary according to the company culture. One of her tasks here is to build a sense of unity and solidarity among the GGS employees who come from across 50 nations. A large part of Sophie’s work involves dialogue, from informal “chats” to short-term, solution-oriented coaching sessions. She is always on hand to advise and support the various departments on issues such as working with multicultural teams. Read more
