Lead Technical Artist

---

We are Gamedust a video game studio and publisher specializing in VR games created in Unity 3D engine. We share a passion and affection for both: the development process and the games themselves. We are not a corporation - our structure is focused on individual competences. Everyone is responsible for their part of the production process, but we look for a solution as a team in case of difficulties.

We have been on the market since 2017. Since that time, we created and released our games (Overflight, Neverout, Spuds Unearthed, Yupitergrad) for all commonly known platforms, including VR (i.e. Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, Oculus Go, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR, Pico Neo 3), and non-VR (PC, Xbox, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch).

Currently we are working on Yupitergrad 2, a sequel to the adventure of space kosmonaut in tracksuit, all in cel-shaded art style. We need an experienced Space Komrade onboard to help us with the project!

As the Lead Technical Artist you will be responsible for the graphic-technical aspect of our game. You should be able to solve any problems related with shader creation (or edition existing), graphic optimization or fixing any graphical bugs. Moreover, you should have practical skills allowing you to organize work and backlog management for a 3D team. Your role will be placed between two worlds - artistic direction and technical aspects based on VR headset requirements. It sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it ? All that's left is the joy of creating games in the most dynamically developing branch of the gamedev industry!
