  • Join the Party: Regularly play the game, providing constructive feedback and suggestions to other members of the team.

What you'll bring:

  • Proven ability as a game maker in a professional capacity.
  • At least 1 completed professional project with responsibilities including programming, designing, or testing.

  • Positive, direct, collaborative communication to improve our shared vision.
  • Flexible, adaptable approach with a constant appetite for new knowledge and experiences.
  • Self-motivated, able to dig deep into a feature and find all of the hidden problems, but also knows when to ask for mentorship or help.
