ABOUT THE COMPANY

The Studios | The People

Other Ocean Group has developed games and conducted Quality Assurance (via its Sculpin QA division) for the industry’s most established publishers. OOG is best known for the development of Konami’s award winning Xbox LIVE™ Arcade download, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Midway’s Nintendo® DS™ release of the popular franchise Ultimate™ Mortal Kombat® and most recently recognized as the developers of the highly popular Sega’s Super Monkey Ball™ for the Apple iPhone. Other Ocean develops for multiple platforms, including (but not limited to) the Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox Live Arcade, PC, and the Apple iPhone. It is a Canadian company, with studios in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Its head office is in Emeryville, California.

Other Ocean’s Charlottetown studio is located in the heart of the downtown historic core, with plenty of restaurants, pubs, and bars to relax and socialize. Housing costs are low (owning a home by 30 is almost a birth right), the miles and miles of waterfront and pristine beaches would make a Floridian cringe with envy and "commuting" is missing from most people's vocabulary. A lobster is more common than a hotdog and golf courses more common than off ramps. If you have youngsters, or they're in your future, you'll be relieved to know that our schools don't have metal detectors and in fact the doors are wide open.

Other Ocean’s second studio is located in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. St. John’s is one of the oldest cities in North America and is legendary for its friendly nature and welcoming populace. A city unlike any other, it is cradled in a harbour carved from 500 million year old rock. Surrounded by hills running down to the ocean, there are quaint side streets of a thousand colours. If excitement is what you’re looking for, the city is rich in culture, has an active arts community, a lively night life, and an active music scene. For companies and families relocating to St. John’s, the city offers a natural environment, quality educational and medical facilities, clean air, safe streets, inexpensive housing and all of the amenities of a great Canadian community with a European flavour.

We're a tight-knit team with plenty of opportunities available for talented individuals at every experience level. Our employees have the opportunity to influence policy and have a real say in the games we make and the direction we take as we move forward. At the same time, with seasoned veterans running the show, we have solid support and enjoy the stability of a well oiled machine. Our salaries are competitive with industry standards in large cites and our health benefits are, as one smiling employee described, "sweet."
