About Us

We are an extremely driven and professional development team that has put months of work and dedication into completing our project, which is expected to release as soon as it can. Though we have had several delays due to unforeseen circumstances, we have made an incredible amount of progress on the game’s development. Our games release is being eagerly awaited by a community of supporters from other Electric State genre games, with a discord server of over 1000 supporters and other communities. The game is based on a book written by author and artist Simon Stålenhag, a dystopian society taking place in 90s California. We hope to find talented and professional candidates who are motivated to expedite the scripting process, bring new ideas to the table and are invested in making the game better overall. Project Pacifica is easily one of the biggest projects on ROBLOX in scale and we hope to find team members who share in making it even more awesome than we envisioned it to be.
