SquareShip

SquareShip has over a decade of experience producing high quality content for brands, helping reach their marketing goals and KPIs. We still produce video and animation, but now we're moving into the interactive games space.

Currently working on a prototype with CMF funding for a game adaptation of our original IP, Tinyverse, based on our YouTube edutainment channel. We've partnered with Laundry Bear to develop a fun, top-down puzzle game where you play as a pair of sidekicks trying to stop cats from taking over the internet.

SquareShip Remote (Toronto, ON, Canada)
Tinyverse is a   C# Unity   project. It's a   top-down puzzle game  where you control 2 sidekicks at the same time, based on  a YouTube edutainment channel of the same name. With funding from the Canada Media Fund (CMF) Prototyping Program, we've been developing the prototype with Laundry Bear in Toronto, ON. We have most of the core mechanics working, including a robust event system for triggering timelines and other actions, character controllers, and a hybrid navmesh/physics system for interactive props. . Laundry Bear will be less available in 2026, but has offered to help onboard new developers. You will be carrying on their work, extending some of the systems they've built and implementing content for the vertical slice. We're looking for someone with strong attention to polish who can really make things feel good to the player. There is a large focus on animations in this game, so a good sense of timing is definitely a plus. ---------------------------...
