Concept Artist - MetaVenture Studios

GrowYourBase (GYB) is a leading global metaverse developer across all major worlds and communities, starting with The Sandbox. The Sandbox is a user-generated gaming platform where creators can create assets and gaming experiences to monetize them on the Ethereum blockchain. Imagine Minecraft meets Roblox on the blockchain.

In order to achieve the goal of being the preeminent metaverse builder, GYB is building an industry-leading low-poly and voxel game development studio, MetaVenture Studios (MVS). MVS is focused on The Sandbox, designing and building games and experiences for both internal assets and for global IP partners. MVS’s games and experiences are known for their innovative concepts, stunning visuals, and addictive gameplay. The cherry on top is the play-to-earn (P2E) mechanics that reward users with NFT’s and tokens for their engagement.

We’re on a mission to revolutionize the gaming industry. Join us in the revolution, one voxel at a time.
