Dreamthorn fuses deckbuilder creativity with top-down tactical combat and ARPG loot. Players team up for bite-sized, roguelike campaigns where every card is earned strictly through gameplay - no pay-for-power! - unlocking wildly unique characters ranging from dual-wielding mutant wizards to charismatic cannibal princesses.

We are looking for talent to build an innovative RPG set in a world of beauty and horror.

About the Role

We put a lot of effort into building a world that has a solid feel. Our concept artists are part of our development on every level, from discussions in lore meetings and concrete development of ideas to just randomly playing around.

We are looking for people that:

• Can quickly sketch out ideas.
• Have strong technical illustrative skills.
• Love stylized fantasy worlds!
• Enjoy and can handle freedom and creative exploration.
• Are good communicators that can bridge the gap between words, intention and visual execution.

Tasks span the full spectrum:

• character design,
• weapons,
• props,
• items,
• environments,
• iconography and abilities,
• as well as lore and game design

Whether you are a specialist or a generalist, we're looking to hear from you. This position is quite suitable for part-time - even ad-hoc - contributors.

If you get excited about a world where lush cozy fantasy mixes with dark undertones, read on for how to apply.

Compensation

As an indie studio we don't compete with AAA compensation. We have the budget to deliver the game and we'll pay you what we can. But our biggest advantage is a great project worth being passionate about. Making a great game means letting people work on tasks they are excited about if at all possible and welcoming feedback on all levels - from minor design details to high level lore and game-design. We're a studio where your effort matters.

We offer long-term, full-time (or part-time) contracts that also include a predictable profit-sharing model on top of your fixed compensation.

Location

The studio is based in Norway, though all positions are remote. While the timezone is centered around Europe, the team currently spans from the Americas all the way to East Asia.

How to Apply

You may notice our lists of "requirements" are somewhat minimal. This does not mean we hire anyone. If anything, we are quite picky. Rather it is a hint that the email below goes directly to the studio lead. That is - we will let you write and explain who you are and show us that you are highly capable and motivated.

To apply, send us your portfolio, resume or words to demonstrate who you are and what you can do.
