Hey! Thanks so much for your interest in joining us as a music composer. At the moment, though, we already have quite a few music composers on the team, so we're unfortunately not looking to add any more in that role right now.

Who We Are

Northhack is a publisher operating two studios and collaborating with a wide international network of developers, artists, designers, and creators. We also run a community Discord where we host internal and external game jams, improvement sprints, and collaborative events that bring creators together to build, learn, and iterate.

Our mission is simple: Create a transparent, supportive ecosystem where talented people can ship great games together.

Our Studios & Projects

Nordstern — Action & Online Worlds

Nordstern is developing the entire OXIDE franchise, which includes:

  • Oxide :  Arena — a fully playable multiplayer online 3D top‑down action‑combat space shooter. Built on a server‑authoritative architecture and designed to scale into a long‑term online universe.
  • Oxide :  No Final Run — a single‑player, skill‑based top‑down space action game focused on movement, mastery, and expressive combat. This is the current focus of the Northhack Creator Summit. 

No Final Run is the foundation of a larger vision. After release, all assets, systems, and tech will be carried forward into Oxide Arena, expanding the universe into a full online experience. Here is the link for our Demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4341610/No_Final_Run/

Wonderspark — Exploration & Narrative Worlds

Wonderspark is an independent studio thriving within our ecosystem, using our tools, processes, and shared knowledge.

Their flagship project is:

The Northhack Nexus (Our Ecosystem Hub)  https://discord.com/invite/uYTxqcEgQ2

Northhack Nexus is our outward‑facing publisher Discord — the heart of our ecosystem.

It’s where we:

  • Showcase the work of our internal studios
  • Host internal and external game jams
  • Run community events, challenges, and improvement sprints
  • Invite creators to pitch prototypes for jams
  • And even allow teams to pitch full studio concepts to join the Northhack ecosystem

Nexus is where creators gather, collaborate, experiment, and grow. It’s also the best place to follow our projects in real time.

The Northhack Creator Summit (Our 2‑Week Prototype Sprint)

Separate from Nexus, the Northhack Creator Summit is a focused 2‑week improvement sprint where selected indie developers take an existing playable prototype and push it forward with structure, support, and production guidance.

For the inaugural edition, we’re releasing progress in four episodic drops, giving a transparent look at how we build games and how fast a project can evolve with the right framework.

It’s a unique part of our production culture — and a great entry point for anyone joining the team.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who We’re Looking For

Northhack is expanding its internal teams across both studios. Right now, we’re especially interested in:

Priority

  • UX/UI Designers To define the visual identity, interaction flow, and overall player experience for No Final Run, Oxide Arena, and future titles.

Also recruiting

  • Programmers (Unity/C#) Gameplay, systems, tools, and optimization.
  • Artists 2D, 3D, VFX, animation, and style‑driven visual identity.
  • Audio :  SFX 

If you want to help shape games from the inside out — with real ownership and creative influence — you’ll fit right in.

How We Work

We’re a multicultural, remote‑friendly organization with collaborators across Europe and North America. While sustained profitability has not yet been reached, we operate with transparency: Compensation includes a share of the game’s net profits, distributed pro‑rata based on each team member’s level of investment.

As a collaborator, and as long as we cannot provide full‑time positions, you retain ownership of any asset you produce during your time at Northhack. Northhack receives a license to use those assets for current and future projects.

We value:

  • Clear communication
  • Structured production
  • Open collaboration
  • Long‑term creative ownership

Hey there everyone!

Northhack is an IT/Game development company with at its core a strong platform designed for rapid and efficient expansion.

Currently, we are running two game development studios:

Nordstern – Currently developing a fully server authoritative multiplayer shooter which is transitioning slowly over time to a full‑scale MMORPG within the years to come. To do this efficiently, they are slowly increasing the scope of the game based on player feedback all the while maintaining a fully playable arena version of the game – this allows them to scale towards the full size whilst avoiding the stress of pumping out a fully scaled MMORPG in a short period of time.

Walking With the Wild – A game development studio which fully runs on its own within the Northhack ecosystem based on our processes and platforms.On the tech side of things, Northhack is also leading an AI project which involves the digitalisation of pen and paper documents to increase the productivity of internal processing.

At Northhack, experience is varied. Each discipline brings together both seasoned professionals and beginners, with novices learning directly from the experienced. This constant exchange means our collective knowledge is always scaling upwards, perfectly matching our attitude toward growth and development. What you gain here is the chance to sharpen your skills in the field you’re already working in, but you’re not limited to just that. Because our structure is flat, anyone can move between areas or be assigned to new roles, opening doors for ambitious people—or even for those unsure if their current path is the right fit.

The big advantage is that you don’t just contribute—you own what you create. We run on a revshare basis, so you benefit directly from project success while keeping full rights to your work for your own portfolio or personal projects. With teams made up of both seasoned professionals and beginners, you’ll never feel out of place—everyone is learning and growing together. And because our structure is flexible, you might even discover your “dream job” here without taking on the risks of the outside world. It’s a way to sharpen your skills, explore different roles, and build industry‑ready experience while keeping everything you create.

👉 We’re looking for new people to join us, so if this sounds exciting, hop into our Discord community and get involved! https://discord.gg/xzHNrG5g3w

🎮 And for those who love creativity and collaboration, we also host our own game jams and take part in external ones too. It’s a chance to experiment, learn, and just have fun building something together. Who knows—you might even stumble across a new passion or discover something you didn’t expect to enjoy.
