Supersocial is looking for Gameplay Programmers to join our team and help us build Ghostopia, our multiplayer sandbox RPG, and bring it to millions of players worldwide.
About Supersocial:
We’re a brand new indie game studio, a mix of seasoned Robloxians and some fresh faces. We are building a team to pursue a shared dream: create insanely engaging games for Roblox! We love it here and are super excited to be part of the community.
Ghostopia is a multiplayer sandbox RPG set in a haunted world. We have recently finished our Closed Beta testing period and are looking into growing our team as we go live soon!
Are you in?
About our first game, Ghotopia:
Ghostopia is an immersive, sandbox roleplaying game, where players become the proprietors of their own haunted mansions in a spooky dimension where a civilized society of ghosts has formed. As they traverse this new world, collecting resources and crafting items to earn Plasma, they’ll unlock items to expand and decorate a fully-customizable haunted mansion to gratify their quickly growing collection of ghosts!
