Inclusive Development: We practice what we preach, embracing diverse perspectives and collaborative approaches in our own development process. Our platform enables every voice to be heard, from internal teams to global player communities.

Our STORY

Live Aware Labs emerged from decades of game development experience. Our founders, Sean Vesce (Tomb Raider Series, Never Alone) and David Berger (Halo Series), witnessed firsthand how challenging it was for teams to effectively capture and act on player feedback. They envisioned a better way - one that would make it effortless for developers to understand and act on player experiences at every stage of development.

Today, we're proud to partner with amazing studios like Krafton, Believer, and Bonfire Studios, helping teams across the industry build better games through player insights.
