Senior Render Programmer

We are an independent development studio based in Amsterdam focused on creating sandbox worlds on a massive scale.

Our team of game developers and researchers are using machine learning and other modern technologies to push the envelope of what is possible with open worlds in gaming. Our goal is to build deep, systemic playgrounds hundreds of kilometers wide and populated by thousands of players.

We believe that the longstanding dream of a massive, immersive world where players are free to do whatever they want is closer than ever before.
