Anchor Point Studios

"It's not just about building a 3D model or an animation or a level, it's about building something to the highest level of quality." Welcome to #AnchorPoint Studios! 🚀✨ We are an internationally growing team fueled by a common passion for creating immersive and engaging video game experiences, and are currently working on our first action-adventure title. We offer a variety of remote, hybrid and office-based roles, and have an office right at the heart of #Barcelona, Spain.

🕸 Uh-oh... Our office is looking a little spooky right now. Time to update our motto to "Through the spiderwebs, to the pumpkins". Probably. 💀 How do you want your coffee? Black with no skull-gar please. 🕷 You want to work at your desk? Only if you're a web developer. 🎃 Here for the treats? Let's pumpkin go! #AnchorPoint #Hallloween

Memorable stories, epic cutscenes... these are some of the treasures we cherish in video games. ✨ Let us introduce Mike and Jeremy, our Cinematics and Narrative Directors! 🚀Mike Koizumi 🔸Role: Cinematics Director 🔸Fav game: The Mario, Zelda and Metroid series "I started in the animation industry before making a career in games. 13+ years as part of the cinematics team at Blizzard Entertainment, primarily as a storyboard artist and later as a director. I contributed to franchises like World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2, Diablo, Hearthstone, and Overwatch. Cinematics combines my love for animation and games, and I couldn't be more thankful and excited to work in this medium. As for joining Anchor Point, a wonderful team and the opportunity to tell stories and make movies for a brand new game with characters and a world to explore... It just made sense." 🚀Jeremy Patenaude 🔸Role: Narrative Director 🔸Fav game: Plants vs Zombies "I have worked on narrative development for the Halo franchise at Microsoft for almost 14 years. I specialized in character and world building, with an eye toward ensuring canonical continuity and brand quality across multiple transmedia streams (i.e. games, novels, comics, animation, live action). Why Anchor Point? Building a new world from the ground up and filling it with all manner of adventure sounded like a lot of fun, especially when you get to do it with friends, old and new."

Happy Friday! Let us introduce our 2 amazing Producers, Laura and Gareth! 😎 🚀Laura López 🔸Role: Producer 🔸Fav game: The Witcher 3 – Blood & Wine "I started my career in videogames back in 2015 in a QA department and I can say I have been "QA almost everything": Tester, Analyst, Engineer, Lead... One day I went from being "Jira's nightmare" to being "Jira's knight"... and that's how I ended up being a producer. I joined Anchor Point because the project seemed unique and something I wanted to be a part of. What I found once I joined was something even better: a passionate, supportive and very fun team!" 🚀Gareth Mills 🔸Role: Senior Producer 🔸Fav game: Detroit: Become Human "I've been in the games industry for over two decades, starting out in QA at Eidos Interactive testing titles such as Tomb Raider and Hitman. As a Producer I've then worked on everything from personalised physical products, to apps for toddlers to well known console titles and franchises played by millions. Most recently I spent 7 years working at PlayStation! When I discovered the rich heritage of the team members at Anchor Point and learned the exciting details of the project, I was all in, 100%!"

In the coming weeks we'll introduce our amazing teams here, so that you get to know us a little better—whether you want to join us or are simply curious! 😎 Starting with... 🚀Pere Torrents 🔸Role: COO 🔸Fav game: Sonic the Hedgehog "Economist by training and fascinated by games since I laid my hands on a Videopac 7000. I've been fortunate to partner and work with many talented creators and developers delivering original and licensed game experiences to players around the globe. At Anchor Point, I'm helping our teams deliver their vision of an immersive world that I hope players will be visiting for years to come. This can only be achieved by being creative, humble and focused on the high quality that players cherish. Our studio's motto "Per Aspera, Ad Astra" summarises what the mindset of all our teams is." 🚀Ana Lin 🔸Role: People & Culture Partner 🔸Fav game: Super Mario Bros. "I have more than 15 years working in the HR field, having worked in several international companies such as Huawei, Lenovo, Accenture and IGG. I joined Anchor Point because the HR position was very appealing and aligned with my career path. I'm eager to learn new skills and take on new challenges, and I see this role as a perfect fit for my career goals. So far, it has exceeded my expectations and I feel very proud to be working with all these very talented people!" 🚀Maria Hanali 🔸Role: HR Ops & Workplace Associate 🔸Fav game: Undisclosed "I previously worked in Education for over a decade. Having switched to Gaming for 3 years now, I cannot be happier with this drastic decision. The industry has been open and generous to me and I get to explore HR, operations, facility management, events, and more. I joined Anchor Point because I could see the clear vision for the future and the passion for building projects from scratch. Thats's very exciting and challenging to be a part of such an ambitious project, so I'm all for it!" https://lnkd.in/dmsVHx7M #AnchorPoint #VideoGames #Recruiting #Barcelona

Meet the Anchor Point Team: Domenico Guaccero 🚀 ⭐ 🔸Role: Lead Programmer 🔸Fav game: The Secret of Monkey Island "I graduated in Computer Sience, then started my career at IBM and covered many different roles in software development. I joined the video games industry in 2004, working on a PS2/PC game for a small indie company in Milano, Italy. I then starting to run my own company where I mainly focused on VR development using Unreal engine. In 2018, I joined Remedy Entertainment in Finland, where I met Paul.
