About Edge of Reality

Company Info

 

Edge of Reality is an independent studio focused on the


Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. We are working on multiple projects including some


with the Sims Studio of Electronic Arts.

 

We have been fortunate enough to be part of multiple hit commercial


titles. As a result, the studio has a stable future. Edge of Reality is


completely independent. As such, we are free to work with any publisher, on any


platform.

 

Edge of Reality, founded in 1998, got its modest start with


N64 ports. The ports we have done include Monster Truck Madness N64, Tony Hawk


ProSkater 1, 2 & 3 N64, and Spiderman N64. These ports capitalized the


studio and allowed us to grow our development capability to take on full game


development. We have developed a number of cross platform titles for the PS2,


Xbox & GameCube including The Sims, Pitfall: The Lost Expedition,


DreamWork's Shark Tale, and DreamWork’s Over The Hedge. Most recently, we have


developed Pitfall: The Big Adventure for the Wii, and The Incredible Hulk for


the PS3, 360, Wii, PS2, and PC, and Dragon Age: Origins for PS3 and 360, and


The Sims 3 for PS3 and 360. Publishers we have successfully worked with include


EA, Activision, Sega, and Take Two.

 

The studio is comprised of a good blend of talent across


multiple levels of experience. There are no ego battles at Edge of Reality. Everyone works hard together for the common purpose


of making the best games possible. Our tools and engine are proprietary and


thus, highly customizable. We have comprehensive Maya based world-building


tools that enable the designer and artist to run with their


vision.  It is a proprietary toolset that gives simple access to


sophisticated systems like AI, cinemas, and scenario design. This system


removes the barriers between the designer and the implementation of their


goals.

 

We offer competitive financial packages, a friendly work


environment, and the chance to work on hit games. Benefits include health,


dental, vision, 401k matching, paid time off, and paid company holidays.


Company social functions include boat parties, holiday parties, launch parties,


movie nights, and picnics. Our office has a beautiful view of the hill country.


Austin provides


a high quality of life with affordable housing, good healthcare, numerous local


colleges and a wide variety of entertainment. The studio is located in the west


Austin. The


average commute to work is only 20 minutes.
