[Closed] Seeking 3D Art Lead for stylized low-poly mobile VR game
CLOSED: This position has now been filled. Thanks everyone for your interest!
WHO WE ARE
We are Magnet Hill. The core of Magnet Hill is Elijah O'Rear, a programmer/designer in Portland, and Ari Velazquez, a designer/programmer in San Francisco. We've learned a lot from our time in AAA and mobile games and we're excited to apply those lessons to our experience with VR.
WHAT WE ARE BUILDING
We've been asked to pitch a mobile VR game to a large publisher. We're looking for a lead artist who can take the reins on art production and manage the art team. For the pitch, you'll be working with us immediately to define a scope that we can accomplish and to help us understand which additional art roles we'll need to hire. Once in development, you'll manage the art team, learn about the strict graphical constraints of mobile VR, and put on other art hats when necessary.
Our current art target is stylized, low-poly model train set. Most assets will be landscape objects and simple town structures. (This isn't final—we expect to further refine this concept.)
Edit: This game is being developed with Unity. The art tool chain is TBD by the art team.
WHO YOU MIGHT BE
Lead Artist (full-time, remote, ~10-12 months paid development)
Responsibilities
- Own the art production process as Lead Artist
- Help scope art production for the game
- Determine the need for additional art roles for full development
- Manage the art team (other team members as well as outsourced artists)
- Model and texture art assets for prototypes/tests to define the art production pipeline
- Model and texture production assets
- Discover and adapt to the strict graphical constraints of mobile VR
If you are interested, please email us at jobs@magnethill.co with some brief info about yourself. Include a link to your portfolio or work you've done. We will share an in-depth art pitch with you and can then set up a call if it seems like a good fit.
We look forward to meeting you!
