The universe is being built in an old two-story building, in the town of Guildford, half an hour by train from London.
- Role: setting
- In the article: The story opens and largely unfolds in the studio’s two-storey building: coders downstairs, a lounge with a demo TV upstairs, and morning stand-ups; a Christmas Eve flood once destroyed its equipment.
- Why it matters: The small studio is the contrast to the galaxy-sized game it is making.
