Founded by two experienced software developers with over 12 years of combined industry experience at companies like Google and Amazon, we're currently developing our debut title, Fields of Aaru.

Project

Fields of Aaru is a cozy life sim set in the mystical afterlife of Ancient Egypt. Farm along the Nile, meet the locals, complete quests to regain forgotten skills, and decorate your eternal home. Explore the sands beyond, discovering oases, tombs, and pyramids. Personalize the village and make the land your own by digging canals and shaping new patches of earth, from sandy beaches to grassy meadows. Rebuild obelisks and make offerings to the gods to unlock magical powers.

Drawing inspiration from titles like Dinkum, Stardew Valley, and Spiritfarer, we're creating a unique adventure that blends cozy base-building with the mystique and wonder of Ancient Egyptian mythology.

You can find short gameplay clips and development footage on our social media accounts @ZymartuGames.

Overview

We're seeking a Game Trailer Editor to create a 60-second announcement trailer for our Steam page launch and official game reveal. This will be the first public introduction to Fields of Aaru and should clearly communicate the game’s core experience, tone, and visual identity.
