Lead Artist
Who We Are: Ghost Story Games is a self-publishing game development studio founded by Ken Levine (Creative Director of System Shock 2, Bioshock, and Bioshock Infinite) and former Irrational Games developers. The studioâs mission is to create narrative-driven experiences rooted in immersive world building and gameplay. The Challenge: Ghost Story Games is seeking a talented Lead Level Artist to join us on Judas, the highly anticipated game led by Ken Levine (System Shock 2, BioShock series). As a Lead Level Artist, you should be passionate about telling compelling stories through environmental art, all while thoughtfully crafting spaces and visuals with the needs of gameplay in mind. We place the utmost importance on memorable, immersive visual storytelling, through all aspects of the game experience, and the close team collaboration necessary to realize a shared vision together. Join us and play a key role in Judasâ success! What Youâll Take On: You will work with the Art Director and Creative Director to define and refine the various thematic spaces of the world of Judas. With a deep immersion in the lore, scripts, and purpose of the environmental spaces you will leverage your skillset and approach to thoughtful world building and visual storytelling and guide the team of level artists, concept artists, and 3d artists to deliver a richly immersive and memorable player experience. You will span narrative-driven visual support of quests, the development of overall environmental âthemeâ visual identities, and support key Level and System Design features that overlap the environmental design of Judas, including dynamic traversal systems, player pickups, and dynamic environmental systems and interactions. You will develop a deep understanding of the Mayflowerâs visual systems: how its thematic spaces are built, organized, and triggered in-game. This includes partnering with level artists and quest pods to ensure those spaces are set up correctly and functioning as intended, and collaborating with tech and QA to troubleshoot and resolve any issues.
