We don't just make games, we craft
We are from rainy Belgium, Mons, Wallonia. Belgians may be known for not having a government but we have awesome beers and chocolate. At Fishing Cactus, it also happens that 25 of us craft games with their heart. Games which are, we hope, more than forgettable escapism, games leaving you with a feeling of change. Games we like, games you like, even if you are no beer fan.

Sometimes we like to work on others projects and share our awesome experience and team to work on your game. We will treat it as ours, given the opportunity to participate in the creative process. Do you have a game you want to develop? And you have money to do it? Let’s babble.

You wanna port your baby to consoles but it’s a big scary world to you? We have ported games we loved for people we loved. We are experienced Unreal, Unity and even HTML5 developers with console devkits. We are picky and we analyze existing code before taking a decision. Be prepared, but first, let’s converse.

We have always loved mixing creativity, pedagogy and game development.
Throughout the years we’ve had the chance to work on a lot of so called ‘serious games’ (or smart games) and industrial real-time 3D simulators. We excel at making games with a purpose that remain real games, with real gameplay and which are fun. You’re a company? A public body? If you are not afraid to develop a REAL smart game, come gab and check out our Serious Games portal.

You think Belgium is in the middle of nowhere? Think again as you might be the cactus we need! We are not mass-hiring instead we hire slowly but carefully looking for the right fit. If you are someone who like beer (or not), waffles, who is #talented, #honest and #autonomous and who wants to pour his/her heart & soul in our next games, get in touch! View our current open positions, make sure you update your resume and have an online portfolio.
We take 5-6 interns a year, in DEV, ART and GAME DESIGN. You will be treated as an equal employee and deep fried in the active projects we have at that moment, if you can pass the test... And of course, if you can handle a company-wide BBQ ;)
