OUR TEAMS
Our goal is to immerse players in an extraordinary and haunting realm.
From initial concept art to final in-game elements, we are crafting a compelling aesthetic experience that seamlessly blends with and brings to life the game’s narrative, level design, combat and audio. We play the game daily and our deep understanding of it allows us to deliver visuals that put the player experience first, while still pushing artistic boundaries to fully capture the unique tone and unforgettable atmosphere of the game’s world.
At Bonfire, audio is never an afterthought. We know the true power sound has in our world to inform, immerse and entertain.
Our sound design is a source of pride, but our greatest satisfaction stems from our ability to enhance our players' experience by deeply understanding what's important to them at any given moment. We work closely with our art and design teams to influence almost every aspect of the project, from the initial concept to a player's in-game experience. Whether it's guiding players through critical moment-to-moment strategy, or weaving compelling stories that take on a life of their own, we strive to provide an awesome and memorable sonic experience, with a harmonious balance of clarity and badassery.
Engineering at Bonfire is about more than code. For us, it's essential to build a deep understanding and intuitive sense of what makes our game special through our players' hearts and minds.
Guided by this sensibility, we form close partnerships with artists and designers to challenge ourselves, exploring creative and fun ways to evolve the game together. We ruthlessly prioritize what matters most and continually weigh trade-offs in our pursuit of making both playing and building our game feel great.
We're building a game we love to play ourselves – blurring the line between developer and player to create an unforgettable experience for our community.
Our design philosophy centers on finding the fun fast, then refining gameplay through fervent iteration and open communication. Daily company-wide playtests fuel our shared passion, breaking down silos between teams and providing invaluable feedback as we work together to unlock our game’s full potential. We aim to collaborate with our community the same way, using their input to prioritize features and craft the best game possible for our players.
Because people are at the heart of everything we do, our team is dedicated to finding extraordinary talent and creating an environment and culture they can thrive in.
Whether a potential candidate, team member or a new contract partner, we are passionate about creating a welcoming and inclusive community that empowers each individual to do their best work and feel connected. As a diverse team of experts with a deep commitment to exceptional experiences, we create a tailored employee journey that begins at onboarding and lasts throughout your entire career at Bonfire and beyond. From fostering your growth and development to offering robust benefits that provide support to you and your family, we’re the scaffolding that amazing teams and great games are built on.
We foster an environment where artists, engineers and designers can work together seamlessly to create an exceptional game experience for our players.
We love tackling complex challenges as a team; actively removing roadblocks so exploration, collaboration and creativity can flourish. Working in both the micro and the macro, we handle everything from streamlining workflows to making sure we’re ready for future challenges – all in the name of transparency and helping everyone understand the why behind their work.
We believe the most meaningful experiences are built with, not just for, passionate communities.
Forget chasing KPIs, we ditch the megaphone for open dialogue, building bridges between our talented devs and the players who love our game as much as we do. We reflect the heartbeat of the community back to the devs - what excites them, what they’re struggling with and what they value - and in turn we foster trust in the shared vision for the world we’re creating. Our role is to amplify their voices, ensuring they help shape our world, not just hear about it. Above all else, we want to craft powerful and lasting moments that ignite us and our community; because in the end, we’re all players here.
