Who We Are:

Founded by an MMO legend who has led AAA teams for over 20 years, our new studio Fantastic Pixel Castle (FPC) is building an original fantasy IP from scratch. Players will be regularly engaged in our development process from early stages as part of our open and transparent studio culture, and we aim to craft an IP that will be worthy of their passion and dedication for decades to come.

We are committed to being a fully remote and global studio, so that we can hire world-class people and have them live their best lives. We think top-heavy bureaucracy stifles creativity, so we aim to stay small as we focus on delivering a game and a world that players will love. We are fully-funded, and the team will share in all of our studio's successes. We're seeking talented teammates to join us in our journey so we encourage you to apply if you're interested, even if you're not sure you check all the boxes.

Position Overview:

Are you a Principal VFX Artist that can breathe life into a new fantastical world of mystical creatures, iconic heroes, and unforgettable environments? As the initial Principal VFX Artist at FPC, you will work closely with the Art Director, Designers, Animators, and Engineers to create extraordinary gameplay experiences that will help lay the path for our creative vision. You'll spearhead the creation of amazing hand-crafted visual effects and help refine and shape the game's artistic direction by blending technical skill with boundless imagination. This role is for those ready to contribute across the board and wear a variety of hats in a highly collaborative and dynamic environment. You will help set standards, define best practices, and execute at the highest levels, creating best-in-class game VFX for our upcoming MMO, codenamed GHOST.
