Wolpertinger Games is a team of award-winning, independent game designers and developers. Founded in 2010 with a strong belief that games are more than entertainment, we shipped more than 30 games and gamified projects across all platforms and technologies. We are always looking for interns and working students interested in supporting our team, eager to acquire professional working experience or seeking cross-entry into the games industry.
We at Wolpertinger Games believe that games are more than entertainment. They are interactive media with the unique power to create personal, emotional experiences and convey relevant and meaningful messages. Games are a ubiquitous phenomenon and transform the way we work, learn and live.
We, the Wolpertingers, are dedicated to make highly sophisticated, polished and fun games. Games that entertain you, teach you, train you, help you, heal you and eventually even change you. To do that, we follow some basic principles for success.
Technology is a tool. We don’t restrict ourselves to one engine or platform, we embrace them. Creativity requires inspiration, curiousness, open mindsets and the right working environment. We foster these conditions by encouraging, exploring and experimenting but also by challenging ourselves and existing ideas and concepts.
We are professionals. We plan ahead, communicate, consult, manage our work, our partners and ourselves. Results are king. We understand the complex and iterative nature of making games. So we work agile, test-driven and with a mindful approach to player and customer feedback and happiness.
Becoming a Wolpertinger means joining a family. Wolpertingers take care for one another. Our team is made up of individual talents, skills and personalities – like a real Wolpertinger. Join these traits and get something unique, creative and magical – something bigger than the sum of its parts. Making games is our passion. Excellence is our quest. And a great working environment is the foundation.
We take fun seriously!
We are particularly looking for a friendly, pro-active and motivated:
