2D AI Specialist (ComfyUI)
Octo Games is an international game development studio with a legal entity based in the Netherlands.
We create commercial games for the Steam audience and support them throughout the entire development cycle - from the initial concept, narrative, and visual direction to release, post-launch support, and further development.
Our main focus is Adult Visual Novels and story-driven games where visual quality, character design, atmosphere, and emotional player engagement play a key role.
Since 2017, our team has released more than 200 projects and built an international audience around our games.
Today, Octo Games continues to grow while maintaining a flexible approach to work. We make decisions quickly, value initiative, and give specialists the opportunity to influence both production processes and the final result.
We work fully remotely and bring together professionals from different countries who are interested in creating atmospheric and commercially successful games.
We are currently building a new AI-focused department and looking for a specialist who combines technical expertise with a strong artistic vision. This role is ideal for someone who understands the technical side of generative AI, confidently works with ComfyUI, and knows how to turn generated images into polished, production-ready artwork.
