Hey! We’re starting new Toronto-based game studio founded by three people with 20+ years each at places like PlayStation, Disney, and EA. We’re developing a vertical slice for publisher meetings in Q4 2025.
The Team so far:
-
Producer/Head of Studio
-
Game Designer/Director
-
CTO
What We’re Building: Grounded, popular genre that’s been largely unexplored in games - happy to dive deeper 1:1 as we’re keeping details close to the vest for now.
What We Need:
-
Gameplay Engineer (Unreal Engine experience essential)
-
Character Animator (Unreal Engine pipeline experience)
The Details:
-
Self-funded pre-production phase (founders not being paid)
-
Starting with PC platform
-
Happy to negotiate compensation with pub deal closing based on individual motivations around salary vs. equity vs. revenue share
-
Completely fine to work on it part-time/on the side as we’re pre-financing
-
Remote-friendly, but Toronto-based talent preferred for in-person collaboration
We’re making something we hope actually feels really new. Interested in learning more? DM me
