Why work with us

We’re in this industry to work on challenging tasks in an exciting environment, together with people who could be – and often are - our friends. We want to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and respected so that they have space and time to grow. To work with us means to join a kind and generally lighthearted environment and always be confronted with new and exciting tasks to tackle. Our sometimes silly and giddy internal atmosphere is contrasted by our professional attitude towards clients and the dutiful delivery of contract work – it reflects the duality of our studio: games and contract work. We can state without exaggeration that we’re pretty good at what we do. We still make mistakes every day and never stop learning, but we always strive to be fair and respectful towards our peers. If you fit that mold, you should join us!

About us: Massive Miniteam

Massive Miniteam is an award-winning Indie Game Studio in a cozy loft right next to Cologne. We create unique games and experiences that hit the sweet spot between art and entertainment. We also highly value diversity and the mental health and stability of our employees.

Games:

Our first own title is SPITLINGS – a Hardcore Arcade Game for 1 – 4 players. It was published by HandyGames and released in 02/2020 on Google Stadia. We’re proud to say we were the first game made in Unity to release on the platform. The game will soon be released for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch as well. We also have several other prototypes in development and in our backlog that we haven’t publicly announced yet.

Contract Work:

Apart from working on games, we also pursue a variety of contract work in the realm of AR / VR and E-Learning, to ensure long term stable financial backing and independence for our own game development.
