A Bit About Us
Gamemode One was founded 7 years ago to build innovative games and bring major IPs to the Minecraft Marketplace. We are scaling to develop a bold new independent game while continuing to prioritize staff well-being and an excellent working environment.
We care deeply about our vibrant company culture, which enables us all to do our best work. We are an established, fully self-funded studio with roots in Minecraft and ambitions to deliver experimental games for PC and console platforms. We are building a small, talent-dense team to develop an innovative multi-platform physics adventure title. 
The Opportunity
You’ll be working on our unannounced indie title, responsible for the creation of high-quality models, textures, and UV maps, while developing and documenting both art style and process. You’ll help shape art direction, including helping identify project needs and contributing to the overall design of the project.
You’ll bring your knowledge of 3D asset production, stylized low-poly art, and Blender expertise, while learning optimization techniques, shader and VFX workflows, and Unity environment design. You will manage art assets and version control—ensuring consistency, efficiency, and a seamless pipeline across the team. You will not just be working at a great company, you will be instrumental in shaping the next frontier of art direction at Gamemode One.
 
What do we mean when we say ‘Experienced’? 
This role is listed at an experience level of “experienced”. We know that this can mean something different across employers. For us, this means you should have ample experience in 3D game art such as textures and 3D modelling. This may be a mix of personal and professional experience. If your art expertise is primarily lies outside of games, being a fast and curious learner is essential; and familiarity with similar low poly styles would go a long ways. We are looking for someone who will be confident working on the bulk of the art of a project. You will heavily impact the art direction of our project. This is likely not the role for you if it would be your first-ever art job, or you are seeking a role with a large focus on mentorship.

Why our job descriptions look like this
Our job descriptions look different than the average, and that’s on purpose! We find the normal approach to be far too prescriptive. Defining explicit qualifications and requirements would be us defining how you should have acquired a certain skillset. What these generally achieve is intimidating those who don’t fit the mold to not apply. That’s not our style. In an effort to be inclusive, and clear, we take a more descriptive approach. Read through the opportunity, and the description of the work you’ll be doing. Decide for yourself if the work excites you, and is something that you are able to rise to the challenge of.
