High Moon is best known for its critically acclaimed first-person shooter "Darkwatch, and is currently working on multiple projects for next-generation game consoles.

For its next-gen game titles, the company’s development teams are utilizing a product methodology known as Scrum, a process derived from Agile Methodology. Scrum is named after the tight line of scrimmage formation in rugby where players huddle to move the ball up the field. In product development, the formation is applied in spirit. Scrum promotes small non-hierarchal, interdisciplinary teams who complete vertical slices of a project in brief work cycles called sprints. At High Moon, artists, designers and engineers work side by side and focus on demonstrable iterations meant to ‘find the fun’ in their projects early in the development cycle. The incremental and iterative approach allows for consistent evaluation of product features and quality.
