  • Be responsible for the final art asset production for certain parts of the game.
  • When required, assist lighting artists and tech artists in their work for game environments.
  • Work closely with technical artists, using a mix of third party and proprietary tools, setting up art for optimal execution and displaying in our game engine.
  • Add final polish to already existing graphics.
  • Fix bugs and optimize game assets for required performance and compliance with specifications on various platforms.


Who you are:

  • An artist with an understanding and passion for environmental storytelling.
  • You have in-depth understanding of the technical limitations and requirements for in-game art creation.
  • You can do thorough optimization of environments and assets, making them ready to be placed in-engine. We work with our proprietary engine, Glacier.
