Chakra encourages a friendly fun working atmosphere for the entire team. We encourage PS2, Xbox and Mobile "game-breaks", where team members are encouraged to play good and bad games. Tournaments are held in-house and game testers are recruited on a regular to help us understand our faults better. Through experience, the Chakra development and design team learns what to do and what not to do.
