Senior Environment Artist

Description

Squanch Games has some crazy worlds, and those worlds need buildin’. We’re currently looking for a Senior Environment Artist to help make these worlds a reality. This person will need to be able to work closely with the designers and the art department to make sure that the game will hit the artistic vision without compromising on the design.

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 stray homeless people that you invited in so you could feed and bathe them.

If you share in these values, come join us!
