One thing is for absolute certain: you don't need to worry one jot about the fine folks at Media Molecule. The studio behind the PlayStation 4 exclusive Dreams has always seemed like a great place to work. Comfy furniture, open plan working space, an awesome kitchen, you name it -- the developer seems to have everything pretty cushty.
We know for a fact that the studio doesn't crunch; Media Moecule's Alex Evans calls it "too 90s". This certainly tracks with the developer's chilled out vibe, and everyone working there seems perfectly happy, and totally sane. Dreams has also gone gold, so we know that development on the ludicrously ambitious project is going well. The game is done, and everything is on schedule for launch. All in all, it just seems like everything is totally fine at Media Molecule.
Just take a look at this clip of some day-to-day activity:
See? Totally fine.

They look great to work for. Definitely on my list of places to apply next year for my industrial placement.
I always thought Media Molecule offices looked like a kindergarten. Don't be mad at me! They're still one of my favorite devs out there!
I had a customer who sounded exactly the same a few days ago. Didn't hear a single word and had spit all over my face.
They seem to insist on no crunch which SHOULD be respected because they get a lot of stick for Dreams taking a long time to come out. But if we want developers to work in more healthier environments then consumers need to collectively accept that games will take 2 to 3 years longer to come out.
That’s denial if ever I saw it.
Their studio does kind of look like a Little Big Planet level
Is Push Square currently playing a review copy of Dreams?
@Acquiescence I think they already said they’d be giving it a 10!
I keep seeing people suggest they're closing down as Dreams is a dud
It is so refreshing to hear that a studio has not had to resort to crunch to push games out, I have way more respect for companies that don't force their employees to work ridiculous hours, they treat their employees like people and not tools to be used until they break.
Its cool to see so many little people working for them.
Seem like hippies or worse millennial's with their stupid bean bags. God damn hippies
Just FYI, this whole article was just an excuse to share that tweet with you all.
@Deljo I'd rather sit on a bean bag then some cheap wooden chair for hours on end.
I watched a couple of their Dreams streams before the game was out on early access, and they seem like a bunch of laid back peeps that like having fun.
