Big Adventure is a start up in Wellington, with the mission to develop the most fun Roguelike Deckbuilders for Steam. We’ve got an awesome digital demo that we continuously improve with the help of player feedback. We need you to add your ideas to our mix and help up build into playable experiences. Exciting, isn’t it?
"Dream Team Supreme is a 2D roguelike deckbuilder where you pilot the giant robot Super Supreme against a horde of monsters of the week. Whether solo or online co-op, you discover the cartridges that command Super Supreme and make strategic decisions that mod your robot. You'll need serious brain power in that million tons of awesome to traverse the procedurally-generated and battered world, overcome monsters, and stop the source of the invasion!"
We're going to remain a small team so this is an opportunity to take on a lot of responsibility within the team.
Our ideal candidates can do a bit of everything when it comes to game development. When not drawing or coming up with an art style, how else do you see yourself pitching in?
