OUR WHY

By focusing on growth and development at the individual level we provide each member of our team the opportunities to bring their best selves to the collaborative experience.

By creating a fertile environment for growth we develop a studio culture that promotes teamwork and positive interactions based on learning, respect, and professionalism.

More than anything, we value the strength of human relationships as a conduit to creating beautiful work and we don’t believe that the investment in professional and personal development should be viewed at odds with the financial health and profitability of the company.

It’s a HUMAN return on investment.

OUR FOUNDERS

In 2014, three friends from the animation and design industries left their established careers to pursue their dream of telling their own stories.

WATCH OUR ORIGIN STORY

When we came together to create a video game, we didn't yet realize this exciting adventure would result in the genesis of a new animation studio.

Our team is global.

Our “steammates” are found across more than 14 U.S. states and 39 countries.

We have headquarters in Mount Dora, Florida, Vancouver Canada and Moka, Mauritius.

OUR CORE VALUES

Core values make up the uncompromising cornerstones of a company, defining the standard by which a company operates.

They are the heart of the company’s identity and culture, and they distinguish what is important to the company and should be woven deeply into the company’s character, structure, and behavior towards both its staff and its partnerships.

These values below are fundamental to Steamroller’s beliefs, and they are engrained into our cultural system as we aim to create an environment of compassion and understanding for our team.

We focus on building strong collaborative relationships, training, and leadership in the pursuit of personal and career development and the highest execution of our craft.

Our core values guide us forward in all decisions and actions at the company level down to the individual Steammate level.
