Company Description
Hairy Heart is a small independent game studio based in Glasgow. We are beginning work on a new short-form narrative game about a giant who is lonely and looking for love. The game will use cutting edge photogrammetry and motion capture along with hand-made puppets and models to create a unique fairly-tale world.
We mostly work with freelancers but are now trying to grow the studio by bringing on more permanent staff to help us complete bigger projects. We also do work-for-hire across a lot of areas including VR, console games, interactive films, museum guides and more. We only work with clients and projects which align with our core principles of fairness, kindness and sustainability.
