UI Artist - Unity (4 Month Contract)

*Note - Please be aware the Bossian's will be enjoying a two week Christmas shut down from 18th December. We'll endeavour to respond to all applications w/c 4th Jan. Thank you and have a great festive break.*

Welcome to Bossa Studios! An immensely talented, daring, multicultural team of individuals (or as we like to call ourselves - Bossians! ).

Chances are, you know us as that quirky, London-based studio behind several critically acclaimed, YouTube-renowned hits, many of which have become an integral part of gaming meme culture ( Shhh… I doctor now! ). These include Surgeon Simulator , I Am Bread and the BAFTA-winning Monstermind.

While most games studios are mainly driven by their bottom-line, Bossa is leading a movement of creativity-first. We create together. We laugh together. We innovate together. As we believe that’s the only way to build legacy, and the only way we can revolutionise the way in which games are experienced. Games that are truly fun and relevant to people’s lives.

The Role

We’re looking for a talented UI artist to work on “I Am Fish”

Working closely with the Art Lead & team you’ll help shape the vision of the UI, and bring the concepts & ideas to life, through the creation of high quality UI assets, implementing them in Unity using the canvas system and animator.

I Am Fish

I Am Fish is a larger than life adventure. You're a small fish making your way through a huge, towering, human world to go back home to the ocean.

The prototype version of the game has gained more than 17 million views on Youtube from top influencers such as PewDiePie, DanTDM and Markiplier, as well as over 81,000 hours watched on Twitch.
