SmegmundFreund: Leaving you alone to explore the studio mechanics without any tutorial is exactly what I would have expected from GGG

danecottee6859: DM voices a monster. Act 5 snow biome confirmed.

Yurtskees: Did they take your mustache as payment?

rbndmmr: Let me guess — you expected a professional atmosphere, but walked into a bunch of laid-back Kiwis cracking jokes and sipping hazy IPAs like it's Friday afternoon… every day.

eg.artistry: I'm a 3D Character Artist aiming to work at GGG (got rejected a couple of times already

DestinL: The office was not I expected, first we took helicopters to the office building on a remote island...

anthonyarispe2627: Bro is winning by just being an extremely relatable gamer with a chill disposition

eggheadmu: Working in that enviroment (Lan Party, as you described) sounds like the best job on Earth.

RequipGaming: This is how you know they are cooking. Literally a running the studio like a game factory and not a corpo yoga hangout.

francisstranieri2067: Seems a really modern cool office, a company without unnecessary burocracy becomes way more efficient.

DEADR4BB1T: Ok so does that mean I can have DM as a spectre/companion in 0.3 ?

korxac: Hey Blizzard, Blizzard! You need to watch this vid. Now you know why D4 Bad right? Work together and play your own game.

lexdtv: My new priority after the 0.3 update is to listen VERY closely to every mob to ID Darth's voice

Also sounds like a really fun work environment tbh, happy devs = amazing games. Glad you had a good trip and I look forward to the interviews

bigjosh36: as a born and bred kiwi, the way you describe an office environment in NZ is basically how it is

KallTorak: Hope we get an entire video dedicated to your hobbiton trip! GGG sounds super friendly and accommodating. Really happy you got some interviews with the music and sound design teams. Can't wait for these videos to drop!

lukebshaw_: Missed the chance to say “their office looks like the skill tree. A mess of nodes, but placed strategically”

CaptainJackSparr0w1: This is exactly what I experienced when I visited GGG. However that was a long time ago. In fact it was Pre Izaro, as that was the expansion announced at the time. I'm kinda glad to see if hasn't really changed since then. It makes it a very unique experience.

Darbobski: New Zealand is a great place. Id love to live there.

MrFanservice: Just people chilling, playing, and talking about PoE. Honestly kind of glad to hear they aren't too hard ass about development

BlazeworksTV: They way you described their office environment refincorces why GGG is in their own lane. Playing the game(s) is probably a prerequisite to working there

honordevs: The fact that they didn't have you sign an NDA is actually insane.

GavrynGaming: Can't wait for photos and everything man, it sounds like such an awesome trip and a Kamil interview!?

herbtube30: No meetings and red tape is why GGG will continue to absolutely destroy a company like Blizzard on the content front, even with less people and a smaller budget.

bc_life2374: That model is why they make such a good game. Makes so much more sense now.
