So you’ll need to be a generalist, able to create concept art, style guides, game art, animations, lighting, particle systems, UI art-and-animations, VFX, etc. You’ll work alone during preproduction, and then you may lead a small team of artists and animators in production if a game’s content warrants.

• Experienced with game design, level design, audio, programming (especially Unity C#), or other non-art areas of game development.
