A couple days ago, I wrote that Level-5 is probably the hottest Japanese developer going at the moment. If I had any doubts, they were dispelled by this glimpse of the company's opulent new Fukuoka studio via theirofficial website.
Seriously, look at this place:
This isn't a tea house -- it's one of the Level-5's meeting rooms. According to the site, this room is meant to allow employees to relax and discuss their ideas.
The "viewing room" -- again, I'm reminded of nothing so much as an expensive club in the heart of Shinjuku. I'm guessing this is where Level-5 executives sip sake and count the millions they've made from Inazuma Eleven.
The play room... sorry, "recreation room." The jelly bean cushions make this room look positively Google-esque.The apparatus on the side is a little baffling though -- my first thought was that it looked like an adult slide.
The room where Level-5 presumably screens new cutscenes and other assets from their games. The website calls it the "arena room," but I think it looks like the briefing room from Return of the Jedi. All it needs is a holo-projector and Admiral Ackbar.
