Game Art Director — New York, NY

I'm hiring a partner for cyberpunk life simulator built on top of sandbox RPG mechanics. We are six months into production and working on tech foundations, with some early tech demos to show.

We are aiming for a public tech demo at gamescom 2027.

Job Requirements

You're going to handle everything visual related. This includes management, critique and feedback, UI/UX flows, marketing materials, and of course, 3d modeling and possibly some rasterized and/or vector graphic design. I'll encourage you to design and implement your own vision as a complement to mine, so being an active listener to the game's core vision while maintaining your own vision with maturity and professionalism is an absolute must.

Nice to haves

• Familiar with games like Kenshi, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, and The Sims

• You think job requirements are the bare minimum and have a tendency to take too much responsibility and not enough credit

• You'd rather swing hard and miss than be accompanied by regret on the safe road

• Communication and management are essential skills to you, regardless of context

• Subtext, nuance, and the fidelity of life is something you're keenly aware of and want to express

• You've worked on a game before, ideally your own

This job is a low cash, double digit revenue share, with studio 1x recoup. There are no shareholders, publishers, or anyone else to account for. Its our amalgamated visions and we aim to win big or lose it all.
