Job Opportunities in Portugal

Seeking Passionate Leads and Devs.
Are you tired of games catering to "modern audiences" instead of sticking to what made gaming great? Passionate about game development, Samurai culture, and creating immersive, hardcore experiences?
If you’ve been waiting to work on something raw and unique with like-minded, old-school gaming folks and a no-BS approach, you might have just found something truly unique.
What is this?
We’re building an epic, grounded and unforgiving Samurai/Ninja Pv Pv E game set in Feudal Japan, combining historical realism with intense stealth-action gameplay (MGSV, TLOU, GOT and old AC´s) multiplayer combat, and seamlessly integrated Web3-powered assets that serve as a subtle foundation, enhancing the game's depth without drawing attention away from the core experience—much like in Off the Grid.
We’re already in pre-production and have partnerships with Japanese organizations, descendants of Samurai and Ninja families, non-profits, world-renowned historians, and a well established novelist ready to craft a woke-free, shocking, and gruesome narrative that will push storytelling boundaries in gaming, putting some woke cross-hairs on our back.
Now, we're assembling a core team to create a teaser and gameplay prototype that will help us secure funding and move into full production, starting small but aiming for excelency. If you’re ready to be part of something revolutionary, we want you with us!
About the Game:
Set in Feudal Japan, our game puts players in the shoes of either a Samurai or Ninja, engaging in both Pv P (Player vs. Player) and Pv E (Player vs. Environment) combat. Players will own land, acquire in-game assets through NFTs, and experience a dynamic, historically inspired world full of strategic combat, honor, and betrayal.
Our narrative, developed alongside experts, will be raw, brutal, and authentic, staying true to the gruesome reality of the era with no punches pulled.
Since a “grounded and realistic” experience is paramount, we, as developers, must also be realistic in our approach. We may need to start with a solid, well-balanced, core Pv P satisfying gameplay experience first and foremost that emphasizes depth and engagement. This will serve as the foundation, allowing us to scale and expand the game as we go. Our vision is to build something truly groundbreaking, or at the least, different an provocative.
What We’re Looking For:
We're building a passionate, creative team to develop the prototype and teaser, showcasing the game's potential. We're looking for:

• Experienced Leads/Directors
• Game Developers (Unreal Engine)
• 3D Modelers and Animators
• Concept Artists
• Sound Designers
• Blockchain Developers (Web3 experience)
• Tokenomics
• Community Managers and Marketers

What We Offer:
Nothing… just hustle fueled by passion! ( we said NO BS, remember?)
Since we’re still in pre-funding, these roles are non-salaried right now, but here’s what we can really offer with NO FALSE PROMISES:

• Fund-sharing for each round of investment, starting as soon as the first round is completed, before the game is even live. Like us (since 2021), you’ll start working for free!
• The chance to shape the game's foundation and be part of the core team
• Creative freedom to influence major aspects of the project
• Potential equity or future revenue share once funding is secured
• The opportunity to work with renowned historians, Samurai culture experts, and descendants of Samurai and Ninja families
• Hands-on Web3 gaming experience with in-game asset ownership and decentralized systems that will benefit you as an early partner.

Our Process & Vision:
The game is in pre-production and research, already had some early prototypes but we are starting from a blank slate and the next step is to create a new teaser and gameplay prototype after our initial XBOX ID prototype was abandoned in 2023 due to DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity) requirements. This will allow us to secure funding to scale development and get equity and/or salaries to everybody involved in a merit and results based approach.
By joining now, you’ll be deeply involved in shaping the game’s mechanics, art, and world-building. You’ll also work with a talented team of historians, Japanese culture experts, and a novelist, expert in the Samurai-Ninja themes, thus creating a game that stands out in both gameplay and narrative.
There is MUCH more to be said, but will only be revealed if you get inside our “Clan”.
Who We’re Looking For:
We want passionate creators from all over the world who care about the project and it´s soul, whether you’re a seasoned dev from major studios or a newcomer looking for your first break. We value work ethic and passion above all. If we become close friends, great—but the game comes first.
Our Founder has envisioned this game since 2001, during a six-month recovery in bed after an life-changing accident. Despite working in some gigs with industry giants like Amazon, Netflix, and Hollywood, this is his number one life project. He has already burned a significant portion of his own money into the game, so this isn’t just 'another project' for quick profits. For many of us, this is a lifetime endeavor.
We’re striving to make a killer game, so expect a vetting process, even if the position isn’t paid right now. Be honest with yourself and us—are you ready for this crazy but challenging siege-like journey?
Send us your portfolio, resume, or a brief message explaining your whys for wanting to be part of this project as well what you bring to the table.
Get ready for battle and build something truly impactful with us!
