OBJECTIVES OF THIS ROLE

We are in the process of staffing up our development team with outstanding talent to tackle a brand new sci-fi remake project using Unreal Engine 5. This is an excellent opportunity for someone that is tired of being a cog in a bigger machine, but would rather directly be responsible for establishing the visual style of the final game while working with a lean team.

With the goal of capturing and preserving the essence of the games that we all grew up with, we welcome applicants with unique skillsets and backgrounds. If you are passionate about making a meaningful contribution to some of the most significant games in the industry, we’d love to hear from you!

• Aid in establishing the core art style and workflow for the modeling and material treatment for the environment.
• Create 3D modular environment art and props from concept art using Blender.
• Apply texturing and materials to assets created using Substance Painter and Designer.
• Comfortable enough with UE5 Editor to demonstrate a polished presentation of assets in engine.
• Work closely with the project lead, environment artists, and concept artists to refine the overall vision and aesthetic for the project. 
• Highly collaborative with other team members and willing to provide timely and constructive criticism to submissions from colleagues.
• Self-motivated and highly adaptable to new workflows and processes while willing to learn new skills and insert themselves into gaps within the team structure. We are looking for that “Indie dev” mindset.
