Developers, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.

A division of Sega development that traces its roots back to 1998, Ryu Ga Gotoku (“RGG”) is a Japanese studio responsible for the 2012 third-person shooter Binary range. However, you’re probably more familiar with RGG’s most notable work, namely Yakuza series. Since 2012, RGG has been responsible for the action-adventure franchise, developing new main entries and re-mastering old ones while compiling spin-offs such as to rule serial and latest remake, Like a dragon: Ishin!

Filled with flowing silhouettes, wild colors and patterns and An interesting blend of casual and smart aestheticsPeople of the Land of the Rising Sun Know how to dress. RGG is no exception.

A different employee has a coat with tastefully distinctive white stripes. Three other staff have all-over styles, with two of the staff suits having a pretty sheen. If you told me this was an alternative J-Rock band and not a group of video game developers, I’d believe you.
