Your Mission
With the successful launch of SpatialOS to the gaming world, the popularity of our platform is growing. Our goal is to strongly demonstrate the potential of the platform, by producing a variety of playable demos, and technical showcases.
The VFX team creates rich and immersive special effects to complement the gameplay experience. You collaborate with all disciplines to drive the aesthetic vision in a manner both beautiful and technically correct.
