Senior 3D Generalist Artist - 6 month contract

We’re a games studio focused on building games that bring people together.

We believe that games that deliver the most fun-per-minute have the highest chance of success. We are a start-up and not a big company, which means we’re a bit scrappy but we’re resourceful, highly collaborative and focused on outcomes and shipping builds over process and meetings.

We aim to hire multi-talented individuals who can operate autonomously and at speed, with every role at the studio being hands-on working directly on our games.

Role Overview

We’re looking to bring on a Senior 3D Generalist Artist for a 6 month contract, with potential to extend further depending on how things go.

We’re looking for a Senior 3D Generalist Artist that has experience building modular environments and character art, to contribute to art production on an exciting unannounced co-op combat game.

Key Responsibilities

1 - Create Game-Ready Art

You’ll mainly be working on modular environments, props, set dressing and character / creature work.

Success looks like:

• Understanding our art ethos and working autonomously with high level direction
• Grasping the project art style and adapting quickly
• Understanding how to construct modular environments and working to a grid
• Rapid output by focusing on getting the core elements right rather than superficial details

2 - Be a Force Multiplayer, Not Just an Asset Maker

There’s more to it than just creating assets, it’s about being an invaluable team member.

Success looks like:

• Communicating and collaborating with the team. Nurturing the synergy between disciplines and problem solving the gaps in-between
• Joining playtests and contributing to the game experience beyond art
• Identifying risks and constraints early and redirecting effort when needed
• Being pro-active and moving the project forward, even if you’re waiting for feedback or currently blocked, you know how to identify meaningful work to keep momentum

3 - Implement Assets in Engine

You’re not just handing off art assets, you’re implementing them in-engine.

Success looks like:

• Importing, setting up and hooking up assets
• Correctly handling setup for materials, prefabs, folders and naming etc
• Fixing materials, collision and general art bugs in engine
• Spotting inefficiencies and offering better solutions
• Keeping assets and scenes well optimized without sacrificing the game’s vision

• Senior experience level. Comfortable working autonomously with high level direction, championing your area of responsibility
• Broad artistic & technical skillset: environments, props, characters / creatures
• Confident in Unity; asset implementation and fixing art bugs
• Comfortable in Blender (preferred) or able to transition quickly
• Happy to prioritize speed & efficiency
• Project first mindset: Our games look good but we’re not trying to win art awards or build stunning portfolio pieces. The experience is king.
• General understanding of supporting optimization and performance for online multiplayer titles (from an art POV)
• Bonus skills: Rigging, VFX, UI, Tech Art skills, Concept Art

Please note: This is a 6 month contract, remote-working position, open to anyone within the UK.
