Overview
We are a small fleet footed studio, that wishes to maintain minimal overhead. We 'contract in' artists (thank you to the American Studios for producing your projects in Aotearoa, there is great artistic talent floating around).

Programmers are generally hired on a part-time or full-time basis. We do have a shortage of experienced programmers in New Zealand so please get in touch here if you are looking for work down-under.
