Position: Game Artist

We’re looking for a talented artist to take on the task of defining and creating the entire look of our games.  

This is a very unique role, as ideally you will be handling every aspect of game art, from concepts to character animations.  You’ll be part of a small, ambitious team who are used to accomplishing big things: our debut game was created with only two full-time employees; that’s why our requirements may look daunting at first glance.

Requirements: 

-         Game art experience (modding and non-commercial projects are acceptable)

-         You need to be an exceptional all-rounder, with strong skills in the following areas:

2D art

Pixel art

Textures

3D modelling

Animation

Concept art

Design 

Desirable:

-         Nintendo DS or GBA art experience

This is your chance to be a game art auteur; we want visually arresting, unusual art for our games and we are willing to give creative control to the right person in order to achieve that aim.  We have a relaxed working environment and flexible hours which will enable you to work to your full potential.

Please contact jobs [at] mode7games.com with your CV and portfolio.  Salary is negotiable based on experience.
