2D & 3D Artists wanted for '50s-themed space game
Hey, Polycount!
We are Toward the Stars, an Advanced Games Project at the University of Southern California, and we're currently looking for 2D and 3D artists to join our space crew!!
Toward the Stars is a Co-op First Person Action Game for PC, in which you and a group of friends take control of a spaceship to experience the wonder and perils of the universe. From space pirates hi-jacking your ship, to accidental kitchen fires, you must band together to make it through the chaos.
We are creating a stylized and cel-shaded 3D world, interpreting the idealistic happy-go-lucky sentiment of the 50s Space Age, and looking at it through a postmodern lens. We look to artists like Kevin Dart and Pascal Campion as inspiration for the style that has a painterly texture, but from afar look realistic.
Our team has over 30 members of engineers, designers and artists, and we're looking to add more artists to make this game really come alive!
Recognized as the #1 game design program in North America, USC Games shares close connections within the entertainment and gaming industry. As one of the Advanced Game Projects, Towards the Stars will be featured in USCs Demo Days in December and May. Demo days give us the opportunity to present in front of industry professionals and big companies such as Riot, Blizzard/Activision, Sony, and Disney. This is a great chance for you to network and show off your work to big time professionals!
If you would like to become part of the team to create not only a final game but also an artwork that showcase at famous game festivals, such as GDC and Indiecade, please send your portfolio link and what position(s) you're interested in to towardthestars-leads@googlegroups.com!
