Reach Game Studios is currently hard at work on Apathy, an open-world FPS with action-RPG/MMO, and social exploration influences, and we're looking for talented individuals to help us.
A lot of the studio's team hails from AAA production backgrounds on games like Darksiders 2, L.A. Noire, the Saints Row franchise, and other high-profile titles.
Our studio is currently seeking the following to assist us in production on the game. The project is currently paying on a royalty on release programme, however we are actively seeking publisher funding for this title, which would result in a salaried position.
Reach Game Studios is a console-registered developer and working with Unreal Engine 4. Knowledge of the Unreal pipeline is highly desirable, but not necessary.
Art Director / Lead Artist
The Art Director will lead up the art department, and will have the crucial role in determining an art style and ensuring and demanding consistency to that style within their department. The director will work with the creative director to ensure a clear flow of ideas back and forth that form the basis of the style guide.
2D [Concept] Artists
We're seeking concept artists to help bring our concepts and ideas to life on paper. Artists should be familiar with sci-fi and fantasy elements, weapon, prop, environmental, and character design.Texture artists are also highly sought.
Modelers
We're seeking modelers (character, environmental, level etc.) to help us develop game-ready assets through the various steps, from concept to final product. Some will need to be developed with considerations to the various departments that will handle them (including animation, VFX, etc.)

Technical Artists / Animators
We're looking for 3D riggers and animators to help bring movement and fluidity to our player characters, enemy characters, and other moving environmental pieces. A high level of fidelity is required for many assets.
Level Design (inc. Lead LD)
From greybox to final execution, level designers are required to bring the world of New Gloria to life. Experience designing competitive and cooperative environments is highly desirable, and a real passion for designing and creating exciting new encounters, and scripted moments in these locations is a must.
World Design (inc. Lead WD)
New Gloria, the world that players explore in Apathy is the butter on the bread that holds this shooter sandwich. The world is expansive, and needs to be designed with a number of open-world encounters where a larger amount of players (than usual) congregate and work together towards a common goal, or go explore, searching for that next exciting piece of loot.
Experience with Unreal level design tools and working closely with a level design team is highly desirable.
