Testimonials

What people we've worked with say about us

Bob and Marie are a force. They thrive on ideas and creativity. Working with them was an amazing experience, challenging my technical skills on a daily basis. They both know what it takes to develop exciting and interesting games and get them out there. When building ideas they keep every aspect of development in mind and it shows. Aside from all that, they are both super interesting, approachable, and fun people whom I am proud to have worked with.

Chris Leyshon

Tech Director – DotC Studios

Bob and Marie at Sanity Check are games experts, pure and simple. First and foremost they want to make great games, shipped on time and to critical acclaim, for gamers and beyond. They bring an invaluable wealth of experience of the games industry to any project, with a keen eye for business to boot! It helps that they’re super approachable, and passionate about projects both big and smaller-scale. Every element of the game is important to them, from the design, right down to incidental animations. I’ve loved working with them!

Dani Abram

Founder – Picl Animation

Bob Hands is a creative and rigorous game designer, who knows how to use his experience and his critical sense to deliver the best players’ experience. Quality is his leitmotif: nothing gets in the game if it is not “good enough”! I worked for over a year with Bob Hands, and it was a pleasure to share his joviality and his friendly smile!

Alexandre Chaudret

Art Director – Lightbulb Crew

I spent just over a month working with Bob Hands, but during our short time together Bob was a great design addition to the Bride of Frankenstein Holoride VR project. He worked closely with the team on weapon design, enemy attacks and creature spline and ensured all team members had the latest design. I would gladly work with him again on future projects! Thanks for all your work Bob!
