Gameplay Programmer

PixelAnt Games is a co-development, porting, and full-production studio in Wrocław, Poland. We worked on partners' games like - Gears of War: Reloaded, Mortal Kombat 1, Forza Motorsport, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - and we're building our own original IP on Unreal Engine.
Our reputation is delivery: high quality, on time, on budget. Porting and optimization are most of what we have done, co-development is close behind, and we take on partial and full production too. Recently we focused on Nintendo Switch 2 - our ports of Cronos: The New Dawn and Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition both shipped fully optimized, but gradually moving towards full dev opportunities and own IP.
