​We’re working with a new AA studio building a stylized fantasy action-adventure in Unreal Engine 5, and they’re looking for a Visual Development Lead to define the look and feel of the entire game.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape the game’s visual identity from day one. You’d be setting the tone for characters, environments, and props, creating style guides and visual bibles that guide both internal and external teams as the project evolves.

They want someone who has already led art direction on stylized titles – someone who’s hands-on, can produce key visuals, and has a strong eye for bold, creative design choices that bring the world to life. Collaboration is a big part of this role, especially working alongside designers and animators to make sure everything on-screen supports gameplay and clarity.

The ideal candidate has a solid sense of fantasy and organic design – this isn’t a sci-fi or military project. It’s also a chance to step into a growing role, with the potential to move into full Art Director as the studio scales.

The setup is remote, with flexible contract-to-hire options and competitive pay. If you’ve got a portfolio that shows strong art direction, shipped titles, and scalable visual systems – this is a great one to explore.
