  • Graphics: OpenGL ES and Metal

  • Our own engine, similar to Unity or Unreal, which we are constantly developing ()

We offer

  • The opportunity to advance your career and/or move between departments beyond just development (Project Management, marketing, etc.)

  • An emphasis on developing each specialist's product visionTime to play the games that you're developing, so you can envision how this or that feature will work for the user

  • The ability to switch out processes and approaches for more efficient ones without lengthy approvals or bureaucracy
