Senior Concept Artist
2 years ago
Description
Squanch Games has some crazy characters, creatures, and worlds. And we need all of ‘em concepted! We’re currently looking for a Senior Concept Artist to help make these insane creations a reality. This person will need to be able to work closely with the art director and the art department to make sure that their creations match our current project's vision.
At Squanch Games, we make stuff that people love; games that we want to play ourselves. We make experiences that we would like to be totally immersed in and enjoy for hours at a time, as well as shorter, crazier experiences that would be great to play with a group of friends, or possibly with your grandmother who only comes over because she is afraid you'll starve to death if left to your own devices.
If you share these values, come join us!
