ThePlanarDanse game studio is seeking a collaborative and determined UI & Level Artist to join our newly formed team.
Creators that would excel in this position at TPD are those with a passion for bringing captivating worlds to life, providing 3D level art, 2D graphic design for UI, and engaging level design with a mind for player interaction, all for use in our upcoming release on PC. You will be responsible for level design features, 2D art, and the associated QA. All roles provide much freedom to create and innovate to improve the value & quality of our games, overall.
ThePlanarDanse is a game studio and IP. TPD has published two games and one book within its IP, and is now seeking to expand with greater budget and size. TPD is a worker-owned, worker-ran game studio, with its day-to-day operations self-managed with flexible hours by its developers, rather than accepting requirements laid down by shareholders that do not know the intricacies of game development or what players desire. With three years full employment, a worker will become a full owner alongside all others.
The games that TPD makes are those with intricate, serious, and/or dark themes. These can be morbid and gothic, such as in Skulltide; they can be magic-punk and steeped in fantasy realism; they can be surreal and based in human experience. If these such genres and aesthetics are your interest and specialty, and you are looking for a contract with the opportunity for longer employment, send your resume our way!

Mission Statement of TPD:
"To create a worker-owned, developer-ran gamut of studios whose goal is job preservation--not maximum return on capital--through the creation of unique and narrative-driven games and aided by the efficiencies of self-determination, games which focus on providing value to players rather than extracting value from them. Here, all workers participate in profit sharing and manage the company collectively, which carries through to daily organization of studio tasks. Here, Workers are Owners."

Choice-based RPG in a dark fantasy world. Apollyon is narrative-driven, and features occult magic, spirit summoning, a deep universe, playable characters, and story progression alone or in multiplayer!
