Responsibilities include creating, owning and implementing all VFX-related content, from generating source textures and creating materials to implementing dramatic set-pieces and in-game events. A large focus will be on creating VFX that complement and communicate gameplay actions and interactions, atmospherics and ambient VFX, post process for gameplay, UI and cinematics, and destruction with both real-time physics and simulations. We are a group of game veterans with a past in some of the world’s biggest action game franchises. With a combined game development experience of 70 years we felt it was about time to create our own game studio, built around a small but extremely talented team.
