Leading-edge gaming studio looking for an experienced game tools programmer with pro coding skills and an excellent understanding of MMORPG game design, to join our fast-growing team.
We are developing Ember Sword, a groundbreaking platform-agnostic and Free-to-Play MMORPG Game set in a player-driven fantasy universe, with digital collectible cosmetics and a blockchain-enhanced economy.
It’s a universe where the players control the world through true land ownership. A game in which all valuable cosmetic items are tokenized as scarce non-fungible crypto-collectibles, which are acquired by players through gameplay objectives, instead of sold through loot boxes. With a fan community spanning more than a hundred thousand people, a strong advisory board, a $2M investment round this year, and a very successful first land sale campaign ($1.5M) that sold out in just a few hours, Ember Sword is aiming high and growing fast.
As a game tools programmer at Bright Star Studios, you'll be designing and buildings tools for gameplay programmers and designers to improve the development cycle and iteration speed of Ember Sword.
