Now, we are building our next title: a management simulation that sits between the sandbox of The Sims and the chaotic comedy of Schedule 1 . We operate small, fast, and scrappy. We value creative ownership, rapid prototyping, and people who can establish a cohesive, signature visual language from the ground up. The Role We are seeking a 3D Artist & Animator who’s a cartoonist at heart: Someone who can create, build and animate expressive, lovable, degenerate characters, and imbue these characters and the broader game with a signature art style. In this role, you will help establish the visual anchor for our next title. You will bridge high-level artistic vision with hands-on 3D asset creation and direct Unity integration.
