SN's ProDG debugger is simply the best debugger for console development out there. Pair that with their rock solid C/C++ compiler and the fast and flexible linker and you have everything to efficiently push through large projects. In addition to that SN Systems' support is second to none. Very quick turn around times even for new features if they are needed! What more can one want?
We wouldn't have been able to create 'Star Wars - Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader' without this toolset.

SN Systems has been developing development tools for the games industry since 1988 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc (SCE) in 2005. During that time, the number of employees has grown at a steady rate and recently topped the half century mark resulting in the Bristol headquarters moving to new and larger premises, still within easy walking distance of the city centre.
While the majority of staff are based in the Bristol HQ, further recruitment has led to the opening of two satellite offices in San Jose, CA, USA and Dublin, Ireland. Foreign travel across the globe is quite common and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc, staff may be expected to visit Japan and North America as well as travel throughout Europe and other continents for exhibitions, visiting development studios or even longer-term placements.
Generally, the office operates on a flexi-time approach around core hours. Casual dress code is the norm, except when attending exhibitions or external meetings where dressing appropriately is expected.
