NetDevil is nestled between the majestic Rocky Mountains and Denver, Colorado, putting an incredible variety of recreation and entertainment within easy reach of our studio. You can play outdoors year round with world class skiing, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, and whitewater rafting to name just a few of our favorite pastimes. Or for a bit more civilization, Denver features incredible dining, theater and music events year round, pro sports and just about everything else you’d expect from a modern metropolis with some of the most easy going and friendliest people you’ll ever meet. With all of this, a cost of living that is a fraction of either coast, and 300 days of sunshine a year, it’s no wonder Louisville CO was voted the #1 place to live in 2009 by MONEY Magazine. That is why we think this is one of the best place to be at for creating fun games.
With more than 12 years of experience developing online worlds; NetDevil is at the forefront of game innovation. From Jumpgate Evolution, an exhilarating space combat game on a vast scale, to LEGO Universe, the first MMOG professionally developed for LEGO fans, something new always in the works. Our company’s passion for plunging to new depths of creativity can be seen in everything that we do.
If you want to join a fun environment where we play as hard as we work and think you have what it takes to be a part of one of the most innovative MMO development studios in the world; come be a part of NetDevil.
