Bionic Wombat Games is hiring a UI Artist for an unannounced Unity project. This is a remote, paid, contract-based position, starting at four weeks with the potential to extend. The role is full-time, targeting 40 hours per week.

The game in development is an isometric, tile placement game where you build mazes for the enemies to navigate. It leans toward the tower defense genre with unique mechanics and a playful, oddball sense of humor.

Creativity is key. Your primary responsibility will be to concept and design a 3D object-based UI, taking the player interface beyond flat 2D sprites. 

You will collaborate with the lead artist and programmer to integrate your designs seamlessly into the game, aligning with its vibrant, quirky style. This is a highly creative position and your creativity will be tested!

Responsibilities

• Concept, iterate and design a visual style for the game UI
• Produce design sheets in Figma or related with all game screens and UI well laid out and organized
• Collaborate with programming and art to explore concepts and integrate work
• Maintain a cohesive style, drawing inspiration from the game's themes and tone
• Visualize and design new screens from scratch, with no existing references
• Concept and build motion for the UI elements: animations in and out and between states

Required Skills

• Proven experience designing UI for games, apps, or web platforms (portfolio required)
• Strong graphic design fundamentals
• Able to prototype and come out with ideas autonomously
• Expertise in creating 3D object-based UIs
• Ability to create timeline animations to enhance UI
• Ability to work with technical specifications for asset production and export
• Ability to work independently with only minor guidance

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with UX and best practices
• Experience in Unity, AfterEffects and Adobe suite
• Experience with Git
• Ability to create particles and effects

Themes/Inspiration

• Symmetry and patterns
• Labyrinths and mazes
• Small worlds and miniature scenes
• Playful and sarcastic humor

How to Apply

Send your portfolio showcasing your best and most creative UI work, be it from games or related. Include a brief intro about yourself and your relevant experience. Add a peculiar fact about yourself for extra points.

No studios, please.
