Two Point Studios' Return to Office Space
Two years have passed since the release of Two Point Campus, a game that was largely developed remotely due to the pandemic. Now, the team at Two Point Studios is back in the office, working on their newest title, Two Point Museum. According to executive producer Jo Koehler, the transition back to in-person collaboration has been seamless, and the team has noticed a significant improvement in their development process. The ability to have face-to-face conversations and ad-hoc chats has been instrumental in identifying and resolving issues quickly. Design director Ben Huskins notes that these casual discussions are easier to have in the office, where team members can quickly address questions and concerns without the delay that comes with remote communication. The team's experience has led them to believe that in-person collaboration is essential for their creative process, with Koehler saying, 'We all say the magic happens when you're all in the same place.' This approach has been particularly important for the development of Two Point Museum, which promises to deliver a unique gaming experience with its blend of everyday concepts, humor, and fantasy elements. The game's focus on approachability and accessibility has been a key aspect of the series, with the team striving to create an experience that is both deep and welcoming to players of all skill levels. To achieve this, the team has emphasized the importance of testing, iteration, and player feedback, all of which are facilitated by their return to in-person collaboration. As the team prepares for the release of Two Point Museum, they are also committed to supporting their existing games, including Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, which continue to have active communities. The team's approach to post-release updates and community engagement has been thoughtful and player-centric, with a focus on delivering quality-of-life updates and addressing player concerns. With their return to the office, the team at Two Point Studios is well-positioned to continue delivering high-quality games that are both engaging and accessible to a wide range of players.
