Wicked Games is looking for experienced and motivated people to bring our first project to life. We are currently a small team, which we want to expand to bring our first project to market.

Our current roadmap sees us in early access roughly in Q4 2024, for which we would love to have people on board who can commit to us for that time period.

Since we are new, small, and remote only, it is important to us that you are an active and open communicator, who is fluent in English both in speech and writing.

The role:

We mainly look for people with experience in their role / the industry, but we are open to consider motivated fresh talent.You'll create visually compelling 3D environments. You will be an environment architect and visual storyteller. Since we are early in development, you would have a huge impact on the game's look. You would need to research, create and experiment with shaders and techniques.

Your daily activities will involve collaboration with and taking direction from level designers and the art director to discuss and understand the intentions and vision of the game.

These will be tasks such as:

• Performing self-guided research into the relevant artistic subjects required to fulfill your role's duties.
• Create task-relevant placeholders and submit modelling and texturing requests to the artists and art team.
• Implement the required artistic aspects while working within technical constraints.
• Correctly implement assets in the game engine to set and dress a polished scene.
• Ensure implemented work is correctly aligned with the game's artistic direction and makes sense gameplay-wise (test and improve).
• Communicate with various other disciplines to ensure all assets are optimally performant.

Requirements:

• 2+ years experience creating in-game environment art.
• Understanding of art fundamentals: lighting, composition, etc.
• Strong understanding of industry-standard tools, such as Zbrush, Substance etc.
• Experience in Unreal Engine.
• Strong communication, interpersonal skills, documentation, and self-management abilities.
• Ability to foster pleasant, empathic, and self-aware working relationships.
• Curiosity, flexibility, and resourcefulness.
• Creativity and a keen eye for detail.

Nice to have:

• Experience in Blender.
• Experience in stylized art styles.
• At least one title has been delivered.
• Proficient environment concept artist.

What we have to offer:

In return for your hard work, we offer you a friendly and focused environment, work from home, paid vacation, a share of the profits and the opportunity to work on a project, where your ideas and creativity count.
