Raid Base Inc is a USA-based game service development studio, founded in 2020 and funded through Series Seed and Series A.
Our mission is to develop experiences that match the level of commitment and enthusiasm that connoisseur players put into the games they love.
A few attributes in great developers that we believe assist us toward this mission are:
Personal ownership
Good judgment
Leadership
Emotional intelligence
We are crafting an open-world, sandbox PvPvE game, in an original IP. Players will build a reputation for themselves and for their crew through everything they do, building a stronger community that is tempered through adversity.
The Raid Base team is made of developers who actively play games and we established this studio to begin a more intimate dialogue with our players. If you are a developer who believes that studios need to have a deeper connection with and respect for players, we would love to hear from you.
During these uncertain times and rapidly changing environment surrounding COVID-19, all positions at RAID BASE, inc. are virtual/remote. There is a possibility at a future date that we will find a location for physical office(s), but nothing so far is planned.
