A growth-stage entertainment company blending gaming, collecting, and real money into top-charting apps.
Most real-money gaming feels transactional, lacking the visual punch that keeps players engaged for the long haul. We need an artist who can turn mechanical wins into visceral, screen-shaking celebrations. You will architect particle systems, screen effects, and UI transitions in Unity that make every payout feel momentous. This is about making pixels pay off, bridging the gap between fintech stakes and casino-level spectacle.
What we’re looking forTech stack: Unity, After Effects, Photoshop
