The Project: Heaven Fall
Heaven Fall is a 3D third-person action roguelite where a goth angel fights through a modern vision of Hell to save humanity. The game relies on a striking visual dichotomy: an Art Nouveau-inspired Heaven clashing against the oppressive, Brutalist architecture of Hell mixed with anime vibes.
The Role: We are looking for a Lead Artist to own and drive the visual identity of Heaven Fall. As a hands-on lead, you will be creating high-quality 3D assets while simultaneously establishing the art direction and visual style of the project.

- Asset Creation: Hands-on 3D modeling and texturing of key environments, props, and architectural set pieces that define the Art Nouveau and Brutalist aesthetics.
- Cross-Discipline Collaboration: Work with game design, engineering, and VFX to ensure artistic vision aligns with performance budgets and gameplay clarity.
- Mentorship & Feedback: Provide clear, constructive feedback to future art hires and external partners to maintain a high-quality visual bar.
Qualifications Requirements:
- Experience: 5+ years of experience in game development as a Senior or Lead Artist, with at least 1 shipped title.
- Vision: A strong, demonstrable artistic vision with a portfolio showcasing environment work, particularly with stylized or cel-shaded aesthetics.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong modeling and UV mapping skills in Maya or 3ds Max.
Bonus Points:
- Engine Experience: Working knowledge of Unreal Engine.
