Producer

Hi there! We are Paintbucket, an award-winning indie studio from Berlin, founded by two AAA veterans: Jörg Friedrich and Sebastian St. Schulz. We develop games that matter, with sociopolitically relevant themes, delivering meaningful messages through strong narratives. Our debut game, Through the Darkest of Times, is a critically acclaimed antifascist strategy game, focused on civil resistance during the Nazi era. The game secured us the German Development Award (Deutscher Entwicklerpreis) and the German Video Game Award (Deutscher Computerspielpreis). The studio is currently ramping up pre-production of a sequel, which revolves around legal reconnaissance of NS crimes in post-war Germany.

This is where you come in. We are looking for a person with outstanding organizational talent to help us produce the sequel, as well as other running and future projects. Applicants of currently underrepresented groups encouraged. You will be loved and respected no matter who you are.
