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 studio’s mission is to create narrative-driven experiences rooted in immersive world building and gameplay.

THE CHALLENGE

Ghost Story Games is seeking a talented Senior Level Artist to join us on Judas, the highly anticipated game led by Ken Levine (System Shock 2, BioShock series). Unique in its bold, creative vision, Judas is also built upon novel technology by which the visual world, gameplay, and story unfolds in meaningful, dynamic ways. The result is a significant and personal journey adapted to each player’s experience and offers a new approach to the art and storytelling of video games.
For the Senior Level Artist role, 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. And you should be excited to immerse yourself in novel technical pipelines, and willing to embrace the opportunity to learn and grow in an all-new way of crafting games. With the unique technology unpinning Judas, it is particularly essential the Senior Level Artist fully leverages the world and storytelling systems. We both expect and welcome you to contribute creative and technical suggestions to elevate it further, and work closely together with Narrative, Design, and other Art counterparts, to bring the best vision of Judas to life.
At Ghost Story Games 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 Judas’ success!

WHO YOU ARE

• Proactive problem solver that enjoys cross-department collaboration, asks engaging questions, and can thoughtfully pitch both creative and visual ideas, as well as technical and process improvements to benefit the quality and efficiency of the project.
• For the Senior role, we are especially looking for individuals with experience and mindfulness towards both individual and team efficiency, and proven ability to work on more challenging cross functional tasks of a higher degree of ambiguity, with a great degree of autonomy. Knowing what questions to answer in what order, when you should seek advice and help from others, and when you can take the initiative to the benefit of the overall team and project is key for the Senior level expectations.
• Additionally, for the Senior role we expect a significant, positive force-multiplication contribution. We highly value individuals that enjoy supporting and mentoring junior artists on the team and bring with them an excitement and willingness to learn and master new technical processes and pipelines for level art creation. Over time we expect you to become a valuable resource that other artists and designers seek out for advice, and through positive engagement you contribute to a supportive and collaborative studio culture.
