One of the clearest benefits of the modern world is the ability to dig into your interests and hobbies in a way that would never have been possible before. That said, game development remains something of a secret society, tranquil tones and controlled PR encounters, making it seem like games are blooming, ready to play. Common Sense says that this is not the case, and 10 rooms offer us the opportunity to see how game development really is, with ‘Do the Game’ that maps the Stockholm Studios Path established by the development of their latest game.

That game is Den of Wolves, the spiritual successor of their earlier work on GTFO, Payday 1 and Payday 2. We were lucky to go hands-on a few weeks ago, and it seems that it could be a big multiplayer hit for the team if it was launched somewhere in the near future.
10 Chambers, founded by Ulf Anderson, Oscar JT Holm, Simon Viklund and Different Bodbacka, a team were built on pragmatism, and a family feature that Ulf and his brother saw their own way. That reality, that emotional basis, determines the basis for Do The Game, and the team wanted the documentary to show the grim reality of game development, due to unrest, struggles and success instead of sugar, as many showcases for the release would do.
“With our earlier success of GTFO and now working on a big title like Den van Wolves, it may seem glamorous,” says Oscar JT Holm, co-founder of 10 Chambers. “However, renovating a company while building a game can be incredibly stressful and creating excitement, even between old friends. Through this Docu-Reality series we want to give a brutal honest look behind the scenes of all this.”
With Do The Game, 10 Chambers invites the world to witness the unprecedented reality of game development – the chaos, passion and pressure of trying to write history. Ulf Anderson’s contribution? “I hate to make this documentary,” he says.
