The Game Band is looking for an Art Director to help define and elevate the visual identity of our games.

If you have a passion for building distinctive, emotionally resonant worlds and for leading a small, cross-disciplinary team to bring that vision to life—we want to hear from you.

 

As an Art Director, You Will

  • Establish and own the visual style—from big-picture vision to small, intentional details.
  • Guide and inspire a team of artists across multiple disciplines, including concept, 3D, animation, UI, and VFX.
  • Collaborate with design, engineering, and narrative leads to ensure visual direction supports gameplay, tone, and story.
  • Define style guides and maintain visual consistency across all aspects of the game.
  • Provide feedback and mentorship that empowers artists to do their best work.
  • Help scope and prioritize art needs to support development milestones.

 

Requirements

  • Experience as a lead or senior artist on at least one shipped game.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating a distinct visual sensibility and art direction experience.
  • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and inspire multidisciplinary art teams.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Deep understanding of visual storytelling, game pipelines, and art production workflows.

 

Nice to Haves

  • Experience with stylized art direction and pipelines.
  • Experience with Unity.
  • Experience working on games with systemic or emergent gameplay.

 

We know that great talent comes from all backgrounds, so if this sounds exciting but you don’t check every box, reach out anyway. We’d love to hear from you.

About
The Game Band

Since our inception in 2015, we have dedicated ourselves to broadening the video game audience by crafting stories across unconventional genres, mechanics, and gameplay styles.

Our first two games, “Where Cards Fall” and “Blaseball”, received widespread acclaim and captured the hearts of players. Just as our favorite bands continually reinvent their sound, we hope to always surprise you with what comes next.

 

Benefits

  • Health coverage. We cover 99% of employee premiums and 50% of premiums for dependents for medical, dental and vision insurance.
  • Paid time off. 15 days of PTO annually – 10 vacation days and 5 flex days
  • Personal comfort. Stipend for office setup, coworking space, and even video games
  • 401k plan
  • Remote friendly

Dead Man’s Party: A Knives Out Game blends our theatrical flair with party game chaos. The story is shaped by your instincts, your performances, and the strange little truths that emerge when you play pretend.

Where Cards Fall is a slice of life puzzle game where you build houses of cards to bring formative memories to life. Create pathways through dreamlike spatial puzzles to navigate the insecurities and emotions of high school and beyond.

Blaseball is an absurdist, player-driven, corruptible, online game of baseball. It’s a simplistic simulation of a sport, built in the void of real sports, where players can view, bet on, and contort the league.
