Remember why you wanted to make games? We sure do. We’re an award-winning game development company located in beautiful Marin County, twenty minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge. We’ve built the kind of tightly-knit creative team you can only find at a small indie studio, but our projects and clients are top of the industry. We’re experts at online games and online technologies, and will be ushering in a new era of connected play. We split our time between a mix of original titles and specialty work for hire. We are well known for our Game of the Year winner, Oasis, Field Commander for SOE, and our “Learn Math or Die Trying” first-person shooter, Dimenxian. One of our major products is a Magic: The Gathering™-themed tactics game for PC/Mac that will run on Wizards of the Coast’s Gleemax online network. Mind Control’s chief designers, Andrew Leker and Marc LeBlanc, have over 30 years of game design and development experience between them.
We are a rapidly growing, award winning game developer, looking for an experienced community manager who is ready to take the lead on building a top-notch virtual community from the ground up.
