2D Animator (Spine)

About our game

Taonga: the Island Farm is an immersive exploration and adventure game set on a colorful tropical archipelago.

What begins as a casual farming experience gradually evolves into a rich, multi-layered adventure. Players discover increasing depth through travel, story-driven quests, strategic battles, engaging mini-games, competitive events, and much more—transforming the game into a captivating midcore adventure with sophisticated mechanics.

We are a high-performing team of professionals who thrive in a focused environment. We achieve exceptional results through rigorous planning and disciplined execution, which allows us to deliver outstanding quality while protecting our time of leisure and rest.

Gaming is an inherent part of our lives. With a wide range of tastes across genres, we keep fresh the understanding of what it's like to have fun in a game. Together we apply this knowledge to create experiences full of joy and wonder for our players.

Where you'll be working at

We work on-site in a modern business building in Limassol. We like a lot of space and a lot of air, and we built our office to create a calm and comfortable environment, conductive to the state of flow.

How you'll get there

One thing our team members agree on is that relocation was a breeze. Volka handles all the paperwork to bring you to Cyprus and all the legwork to settle you here. We help with opening the bank account, obtaining permits for you and your family and take over other bureaucratic matters that are an annoying necessity of moving to a new country. For you it will be like booking a vacation with a tourist agency. Except, you know, you'll have to work here.

How we'll help you settle

Moving to a new country may seem a little daunting, and we know that because most of us have been through it. There will be challenges for you to face, including finding a place to live, adjusting to the local way of life and finding new friends. But fear not, for Volka will support you along the way!

• We'll arrange for temporary accommodations and provide a transfer to the office until you can find a place of your own

• We offer benefits for housing rent, car purchase and childcare

• We have allowances for lunches, psychotherapy sessions, language learning, and sports activities

• We provide medical insurance for you and your family

Most importantly, in Volka you will find a warm and welcoming community of open, friendly people with a wide variety of interests, passion for games and a positive outlook on life.

If we sound like a good fit for you, then you may be a good fit for us.
