Hi, I'm Cade and I am a Programmer at Gamemode One. I have been with the company for 7 years and look after our Unity engineering team and studio programming practices. I'm looking for a co-op student to join our team and assist with early development on our first independent game, including fixing bugs, implementing features and collaborating with designers.
A Bit About Us
Gamemode One was founded 7 years ago to build innovative games and bring major IPs to the Minecraft Marketplace. We are scaling to develop a bold new independent game while continuing to prioritize staff well-being and an excellent working environment.
We care deeply about our vibrant company culture, which enables us all to do our best work. We are an established, fully self-funded studio with roots in Minecraft and ambitions to deliver experimental games for PC and console platforms. We are building a small, talent-dense team to develop an innovative exploration-adventure title.
Your Day-to-Day
As a Game Development Co-op at Gamemode One, you'll dive into the exciting pre-production phase of our first independent game. Your days will include:

Learning and Growing: Expanding your skills in non-MonoBehavior programming, Visual Studio debugging, and source control best practices
Collaborating: Working closely with our tight-knit team of developers, designers, and artists to bring experimental game concepts to life
You won't just be completing tasks—you'll be actively contributing ideas, learning from experienced developers, and making a real impact on an innovative project.
