Black Forest Games GmbH's values

Black Forest Games is all about people and games–all of the great people who work here and the great games we all want to make.

Everyone at BFG is talented, loves their work, and is eager to leave their mark. We want to build a company where everyone can participate, raise their voice, and contribute.

There will be times, projects, and tasks when someone struggles to shine. When that happens, we want to help them get to the point where they can not only do their best but also thrive while doing it.

Respect

The key for everyone here is respect. Respect for each other as human beings, as people, and as professionals. That includes respect for each other’s work and opinions.
No one is perfect. Weaknesses are part of human nature, and therefore we judge others by their strengths.
We show respect through what we say, how we speak, and what we do.
We are listening to what others have to say. Even if we eventually make a different decision, any input is helpful, giving us the big picture.

Openness

Sharing information and know-how
Giving and taking open and constructive feedback
Open and honest communication
No politics
Raising your voice with ideas, concerns, comments, or any other input—everyone can, and should!

Empowerment

Everyone takes responsibility for their job, their tasks, and beyond.
Everyone is given the responsibility and power to make their own decisions and to achieve collaboratively set goals in their own way, in accordance with their capabilities and within the given boundaries.

Progress

We are here to achieve a common goal: developing great games.
We have flexible work hours with 38 hours a week work time.
Giving our best during this time is the foundation.
We each give all, and we get things done. We are aiming for innovation: for our studio and our games to be at the forefront of the industry.
We are proud of what we’re doing, and we want to make things even better, to become better.
We are learning, training and always reflecting on new possibilities to do things in a better way.
We are searching for each step, small or big, of improvement and celebrate the progress we finally make with these steps.

Family

We are a family-friendly company. Everyone understands and affirms that family is a high priority.

Commitment

Black Forest Games is looking for long-term relationships with employees and partners. The company is hiring for the studio and not for projects.
Loyalty on both sides of the employment contract is in our DNA.

Fun

We are developing entertainment products, and we can’t do this without having fun ourselves.
