Jobs

We are professionally playful. We love people who are kind and curious, who love to contribute their ideas and create games in collaboration with others. This is a place where people strive to create special projects and a welcoming environment together.

Our first game White Shadows, a narrative platformer, was developed by a core team of six, published by Thunderful & Mixtvision and won “Best Debut” at the German Computer Game Awards 2022. Now we’re 7 people and are looking to grow, but slowly and organically and at a pace that preserves what makes this a great place to be: kindness, a commitment to making games we love, and a commitment to each other’s well-being. 

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. This is a place where you can be(come) who you are, just drop us a line. Sometimes we don’t fit all the requirements, but we have other things to give, and we learn along the way 🙂 

 

🎮 Our projects 🎮

  • We like ambitious, polished games with emergent gameplay and coherent design
  • We like games that are entertaining, but strive to be a bit more than “just” entertainment
  • We dedicate a significant amount of time to develop and prototype ideas
  • We value the time to polish our creations and turn them into something special
  • Our two current projects 
    • a metroidvania-like action-platformer that focuses on very smooth action platforming and a living ecosystem filled with creatures who have lives beyond being your enemy (our focus right now and the project you’d be working on for the time being) 
    • an earlier-stage physics-based cooperative brawler – with puppets

 

⚒️ How we work ⚒️

  • 2-week sprints with a good mix of guidance and self-determined work loads
  • Open communication culture where your input is always valued and welcome
  • Zero tolerance towards racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other hateful mindsets

 

🏢 Studio Culture 🏢

  • Professional, dependable setup – we’ve been around for almost eleven years
  • No crunch, 30 days paid vacation, public transport ticket, employer-funded pension assistance
  • Like all German jobs: co-payment for public health/dental/vision insurance and pension
