Salary Unpaid

Do you think our world is missing some exciting and interactive ways in which we can engage in History? Do you have an idea of how we can take the market by storm creating engagement toward history and a history game?

To grow our business we are looking for a Graphic Designer and Branding Manager


About our game

GAMUCATEX is an early-stage startup that is developing a card-based autobattler video game in a historical mythological universe. Inspired by games such as Magic, Civilizations, the Age of Empires and Heroes, our aim is to create an immersive and historically accurate game that inspires people to immerse themselves in history experiencing stories of the Vikings. Although the game is in production, you can check it out at itch.io: https://gamucatex.itch.io/tectonicus

The player will be taking charge of a faction - either Viking, Frankish, or Anglo-Saxon - which they will follow through history; experiencing past events according to historical records. Battles on a turn-based board will take place online for multiplayer and can be offline in single-player scenarios. You will lead your forces to your enemy’s lines and holding your morale high, you will dominate the fight!

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a visionary and loving small family-like team of talents that value diversity and inclusivity. We believe that making games should be as fun as playing them.

We make our assets in-house, from visual art and code to music and foley sounds, with passion and respect for history. We dedicate ourselves daily to creating a game atmosphere that takes you on a journey to the past, cards that are exciting to play, decks that feel like a living army under your wise warlord’s hand, and battle scenarios that let you shape history.
