Studio
The people, the place and the way we work.
One open floor in Bangkok
New Direction is a single room with no walls between disciplines. Design, art, code and production sit at the same long desk, so an idea at 10am can be playable by the end of the week.

Bangkok Open Floor Playtest First Ship Together
Pull up a chair.
Four corners, one conversation
Nothing here is fenced off. The build runs on a screen everyone can see, and the shortest way to solve something is still to turn your chair around.
The Long Desk
Every discipline on one line — no tickets needed to ask a question.
Playtest Corner
Two sofas, four pads and whatever build landed this week.
The Wall
Concepts, references and rejected ideas, printed and argued over.
Coffee & Arcade
Where most of the good decisions actually get made.
How a Tuesday actually goes
No ceremony for its own sake. The day is built around one thing: getting something playable in front of people before it gets expensive.
- 10:00
Stand-up
Fifteen minutes, standing, on what's blocked and what ships today.
- 11:00
Deep Work
Headphones on, notifications off. The longest quiet block of the day.
- 14:00
Build Review
The nightly build on the big screen, warts and all.
- 16:30
Playtest
Someone who didn't make it plays it. We watch and say nothing.
- 18:00
Wrap
Notes written down while they're fresh, then the arcade cabinet warms up.
What we build with
Tools are a means, not an identity. We pick what fits the project and we keep the pipeline boring enough that the work stays interesting.
