If you haven't heard of us already, we're a game development studio founded in 2010 and based in Bristol, UK. Since September 2021, we have been part of the Sumo Group and we work on a range of different projects, working with the likes of Games Workshop (on Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun!) and others, as well as original IP (such as our beer-brewing simulation game, Brewmaster).

As well as these major game releases, we are also working on some really exciting, top secret, games that are yet to be announced. Check out our jobs page to see a video about what it's like working for us, or listen first hand to some of our colleagues in our podcast about 'A Day in the Life'. You can also come and visit us at the BGH event on Thursday 30th June, where some of our team are holding talks which are essential to game developers.

Join Auroch Digital and the Bristol Games Hub at the new Coop Mode space on Thursday 30th June at 7:00pm, as they present two talks filled to the brim with essential information for game developers. Talks will start at 7:30pm.

In the first talk, Auroch Digital Ops Director, Nina Adams, gives practical tips on what to look for and what to avoid when signing a game development deal with a publisher. Nina will talk through tips and advice that Auroch Digital has learned over more than 10 years of signing and developing games with various publishers. Nina will go through her experiences of working on multiple projects, including taking Auroch Digital’s latest exciting announcement from it's first pitch, all the way through to partnership relations during development. WARNING!! May include some project war stories!! Using this example, Nina will highlight areas you can improve your pitching, and classic things to look for, so you can avoid getting into a bad deal that could put your project, or even your studio, at risk.

In the second talk, Auroch Digital UX/UI Director, Alix Briskham, will give a talk on why you should choose a UI role and tips for what to do when applying for an art and/or UX/UI role, including portfolio work.

So if you're looking to land a deal or a job, you won't want to miss this event! See you there!
