Joining the team at Vicarious Visions has been magnificent. I can honestly say that no other studio has made me feel more welcome in my 20 years in the industry. The people are warm, honest, and uncharacteristically professional. And coming from Chicago, the Albany climate is a good fit for my midwestern sensibilities. I cannot think of a better place to create.

At VV passionate and creative people thrive, we push one another to grow, and we find the fun in everything we do. Around Albany we have beautiful parks and lots of community events like concerts and farmers markets. I love how welcoming VV is and feeling like I'm part of one big geeky family!

When I first started at Vicarious Visions, I considered it to be a steppingstone to a career someplace in the Big City. But after fifteen years, I am still here and working with some of the most talented people around. Albany has been a great place for me to work, grow and live. I can't imagine raising my family anywhere else.
