Home / Bright Star Studios

I help drive the scaling efforts of Bright Star Studios, a Copenhagen-based games studio (supporting full remote work) developing Ember Sword, a groundbreaking social sandbox MMORPG game set in a community-driven PvP and PvE fantasy universe, and building out our game engine.

Some technical highlights of our game (engine) include:
🕹 Our inhouse game engine is developed with an ECS architecture in modern C++20, and we’re looking into commercializing the engine in the future
🕹 Uses Emscripten and WebGL (looking into Web GPU), and runs in the browser with a loading time of under 5 seconds
🕹 ~2MB (brotli) compressed WASM file
🕹 Minimal use of third-party libraries to ensure performance and file size
🕹 Quarterly code refactors to ensure a clean and enjoyable code base

Mostly recruiting for Core Engine (C++), Tools, and Gameplay Engineers.
