Game Economy Designer

The Company

This game is part of a larger company that has been in the world of Blockchain and Crypto since 2012. They've since launched their own Blockchain which is tailor made for NFT's and Games, this blockchain is home to the game My Neighbor Alice. In addition to this they have a fund available of 80 Million to give away to studio's to build games on their chain.

And they have this game. A fun sidescrolling, platform adventure game which is made by professionals that have worked for companies like Atari and Disney. This team knows what they are doing. To give you an idea. There's PVE, COOP, PVP mechanics in place to provide a fun competitive experience.

They are a remote-first company with teams on all sides of the globe but the main timezone is Europe. Being Swedish in Origin the culture is friendly and respectful. Rather than fingerpointing when something goes wrong the team sits together, blames non, and moves forward together. The mission of the team is to make a fun game first and integrate the blockchain into that. And it's good to know that they've succeeded in that regard!

Everybody in the company has a passion for games and blockchain and with everyones ambition pointed in the same direction I can't help feel a little bit jealous since I am an external recruiter;).
