Engineering at Very Very Spaceship
Our engineering team is split between client engineers and backend engineers. Client engineers use Unity daily to add features according to our design team, but have lots of room to make creative choices and add whimsy in ways that reflect themselves and VVS as a whole. Our service engineers do the heavy lifting to make sure we can have robust client experiences that scale and deliver fun to the most amount of people world-wide. The engineering team takes great pride in their work, never shies away from a tough problem, and always looks for opportunities to improve how we collaborate with other disciplines. In terms of day to day, we run 2 week sprints but leave a lot of room for autonomy and serendipity in what we endeavor to build.
On the server side, making gameplay experiences that are server-authoritative and design-configurable takes up a lot of time. Additionally, our current project aspires to be a game that players come back to for many years, which means we have a big emphasis on tooling to support live ops. On the client side, coming up with novel and understandable gameplay and interactions is where we spend most of our energy.
We are currently working on shaping the future of geospatial AR entertainment with a high profile partner.
In the past we've collaborated with Microsoft on real-time, interactive experiences delivered through their video streaming site Mixer. We developed novel ways of collecting user input, sending back personalized UI (with HTML5), and wrapped that all up in fun and whimsical games where the player has no idea how the tech behind the curtains pulls off what it does.
In the past we've collaborated with Google's Advanced Technology and Products group on multiplayer AR games and prototypes. We pushed the state of the art and drove platform requirements to enable novel and diverse games from future creators. We solved hard technical problems while being a great and supportive partner. We pride ourselves on over-delivering and being our clients' favorite partner.

Partner work requires an exceptional degree of professionalism, teamwork, determination and reliability. It takes listening carefully to the expectations and needs of our partners.

We believe we continue to collaborate on awesome projects because of our core values:

We judge our work based on how it plays and the emotional response of our players, not how good the specs read.
We believe in more super rapid experimentation and prototyping and less pontification.

We stay inspired as makers and are never be afraid to roll up our sleeves and get messy.
We are active, engaged listeners.
We stay positive, especially when we find ourselves in a jam.
We try to maximize the opportunities afforded to us to do as much good as possible.
Above all, we follow a principle of “Core Before More” which has taught us to focus like crazy, learning how to leverage the resources readily available and avoiding scope creep at all costs.
