Hi there, my name’s Davey Wreden, I was the director of Stanley Parable and Beginner’s Guide, and I’m looking for an art lead for Everything Unlimited Ltd. I want to produce games that are beautiful, meditative, thoughtful, and sad; but more importantly, I want to create a development studio that feels warm and inviting, a place where talented people come together to challenge one another in a constructive way, support one another emotionally, and put their egos aside in service of making the game great. The art lead will set the visual tone for the games via concepting and illustration. The art lead will also have to communicate the aesthetic of the game to other workers in a variety of disciplines, and work directly with them in making this aesthetic a reality.
The day to day:
– Concept magical worlds with style and character
– Collaborate with other disciplines to create focused tasks
– Involved in the game’s design
Required:
– Just being a cool person, you know?
– Mastery of photoshop, concepting, and illustration
– Solid understanding of world design
– Willing to make mistakes and throw out what isn’t working
– Self-directed and accountable for their own work
– Prioritizes communication and collaboration above individual accomplishments
– Excited to learn new skillsets
Bonuses, not required:
