About the project

The game is a fantasy city builder-god game hybrid, set in an original fantasy world, where you can not control your units directly, you have to motivate them to act. We are targeting PC release first, then tablet/mobile. And no, no NFTs, it's an old-fashioned pay-get game model. You would be joining a small team of artists and programmers, trying to get this project to Early Access and beyond.

 

About the position

Did you know that when things in game go "Swish!" and there is no "Swoosh!" to accompany that, it looks lame?

Well, I hope you did, otherwise why would you try to get a VFX artist job?

We are searching for someone to help us with VFX effects for our game, from basic selection highlights through attack indicators, to explosions, fire effects, etc. Important to note is that our project is heavily stylised, so experience with faux-2d effects is a must.

Please note, we are not interested in interns/fresh graduates for this position.

Featured Game
s

It's all about the money, you fool! Build a city, invite adventurers and give them quests, until they solve your problems... of not having enough gold! Do you know how much pet-god food costs these days? Not to mention building a city in a land besieged by monsters!

For connoisseurs of unique colony-builders, Gold Gold Adventure Gold is a Cult-of-the-Lamb-lite, Rimworld-lite, Majesty-like mixed with Black & White with a pinch of Against the Storm.
