Studio Profiletop

*Frozen Codebase is an elite army of geeks, industry veterans, roller derby announcers, Scandinavian-American death metal lead guitarists and bar ninjas who hold a raging, unholy passion for all things video games. We are men, women and androids of ACTION, believing that, in the end, the blood you put into a game equals the blood others will spill in it. With experience ranging from AAA to casual titles, we believe that great next-gen games don’t need giant budgets or prime time commercials to be successful ((though that probably wouldn’t hurt)) – they need exhilarating, fun, focused gameplay, lovingly forged with the blood, tears, toil and sweat of a dedicated cadre of True Believers. If this sounds like where you belong, we’d like to talk to you.

* We are a small but well-funded startup company with multiple contracts at various well known publishers. Additionally, we have a dynamic and talented staff that includes veterans from Raven, Radical, GarageGames and Naughty Dog.

* Games can be created anywhere. At Frozen Codebase we believe in quality of life for our developers. Why take that job in California and work in a highly expensive rip off zone, when you can live in an affordable area with some of the best schools in the country. Also, we do have alot of cheese, here in Wisconsin.
