I want to work at Myrkur! What will it take?
Myrkur Games is seeking deeply passionate and creative individuals who are driven to make incredible video game experiences. We value self-starters who would thrive in an exciting studio working with a highly driven, multi-disciplinary team.
We look for portfolios and/or work experience that is directly transferable to our games.
What should be in my portfolio or demo reel?
When considering applications we pay careful attention to portfolios. Portfolios are one of the best ways for us to evaluate applicant skill, ability, and game development understanding. The most important thing for your portfolio submission is to show us work which is applicable to the position you are applying for.
Your portfolio should show us that you have a solid understanding of the principles and development standards of your field and that you have the capability to deliver exceptional work that will elevate our game. One tip we can recommend is searching for portfolios or reels online from comparable games and studios, to see what is generally expected from your field in game development.
Keep your portfolio relevant and only show us your best work!

How do I get into the video game industry?
