Open Positions
Greetings, fellow pilots!
For over a decade, our fine veteran squadron of space pilots has been on an incredibly exciting journey through the highs and lows in mobile, PC and console gaming. Now we’re looking for talented pilots who’d like to join us on our next adventure, taking us even further into deep space on PC and consoles, rocket-propelled by Unreal Engine 4.
Back in the day, we were best known as the makers of the iconic mobile space shooters series “Galaxy on Fire” part 1 and 2 and its two expansions. In 2014, we opened up a new dimension by founding ROCKFISH Games and entering the PC and console gaming business with the intent of making top-quality premium games without any microtransactions whatsoever.
For our debut title EVERSPACE, a 3D roguelike space shooter with top-notch visuals and clever storytelling, we raised €420K on Kickstarter, and it became a surprise hit on Steam, Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
So, if fast-paced space combat in the best tradition of Freelancer combined with 6DOF movement à la Descent and a good dose of fresh ideas is your thing we would love to hear from you, should you meet any of the profiles below.
