3D Environment Artist

Hello! I'm Brady Soglin, an indie developer based in Chicago, USA. I've shipped several games - my most recent is "Tall Trails (2025)", a whimsical exploration game where you play as a golem looking for his purpose. I'm working on a prototype for a 3D game, and am looking to connect with a freelancer who can help define the art style for the project, as well as build an asset library that I can kitbash with to build levels. The game will be low poly, set in an indoor, brutalist environment, with a bright, sunlit aesthetic. Its tone is comedic. For inspiration, think Team Fortress 2, Straftat, or look at the submissions to the "Quake Brutalist Jam". This role will pay hourly, 8 - 16 hours a week for one to two months while the look of the game is being defined. After that, being available to help with ad hoc asset requests would be a plus! Pay band is USD $30 - $40 /hr (negotiable based on prior experience), starting ASAP. The Role Based on a moodboard, build a beautiful corner in a Unity project to help define an aesthetic for the game Build a set of base assets / textures that can be kitbashed for assembling levels Ad-hoc, model & texture additional assets This is a remote gig. We will meet virtually once a week, so light preference for folks based in a timezone compatible with North America.
