Climax Studios

Streamlining talent acquisition whilst showcasing this iconic game development studio’s heritage

When a legendary name in gaming seeks to transform their digital presence, the stakes are uniquely high. Climax Studios, renowned for their work on iconic titles like R Type, Diablo, Silent Hill, Assassins Creed, and Returnal, had a vision: a website that would honor their rich heritage while powering their future growth through streamlined recruitment.

Our design approach began with a respect for Climax's established brand identity. We integrated elements from their iconic logo throughout the website, using distinctive shapes and angles to create a consistent visual language. This subtle yet powerful design choice ensures visitors instantly recognise they're in Climax's digital space, regardless of which page they're exploring. We brought their impressive legacy to life through an interactive timeline, showcasing their journey from 1988 to the present - a visual testament to their continued impact on the gaming industry.

The heart of the project lay in revolutionising Climax's recruitment capabilities. We implemented our most comprehensive Workable integration to date. Creating a seamless hiring platform that allows applicants to discover, filter, and apply for positions without ever leaving the website, streamlining the process for both candidates and hiring teams.

What began as a simple one-page scroll has evolved into a dynamic, vibrant platform that truly reflects Climax's position as a gaming industry powerhouse. The transformed website now serves dual purposes: it celebrates the studio's prestigious history while providing an efficient, modern recruitment tool that will help shape their future. Through thoughtful design and technical innovation, we've helped Climax create a digital presence that reinforces their reputation as a forward-thinking leader in game development.
