Northern Lights Entertainment is a team of young, passionate entrepreneurs of the gaming industry based in Paris, France. We are currently developing our first product, Nebulae (www.nebulae.world) - a sci-fi MMO strategy game combining massively multiplayer politics and combat in space. We believe that entertainment - physical and digital - should give us the ability to form our opinions, find our voice and engage with the rest of the world. Therefore, our mission is to take our customers on a journey through fascinating universes and stories. Through these stories, we explore the principles and mechanisms that organise our political systems and structure our lives. Our motto: Engage, Empower, Entertain Northern Lights is built around 6 Core Virtues: - Be Awesome & Audacious - Communicate Crystal-Clearly - Engage & Empower - Put People above Profits - Be Reachable & Responsible - Trust & Play in Team The Core Virtues embody the vision of how our business is built and powered. They are the standards to which all NLE team members hold each other accountable, in business practices and work relations. They are our compass when developing new products and features, and when expanding our business. They are the rulebook we refer to in situations of conflict and uncertainty. They are the competencies against which we assess all our would-be hires.
