# Team ![](/files/MOw2CVrZcSydFDAotLLK) Department 77 is built and maintained by dev collective Nerd Island. We're a group of experienced developers, product designers, blockchain fanatics and community maxis that have designed and built software together in various forms and configurations since the mid-2010s. We're a completely async and remote team, and we use a mission-based process that allows people to work in a more productive, creative and balanced way. Our core mission as a collective is to design delightful software and re-define what work means. Although D77 is our first foray into blockchain gaming specifically, we have all worked in blockchain and/or gaming separately before. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
