About the role
About Febucci
We are a small games development team all around Italy. We create indie games experimenting with player choices, atmosphere and the relationship between game mechanics and narrative. We also help game developers create their own games, from our tools (like Text Animator) to tutorials and blog posts.
About the Game
We are working on an unannounced game inspired by PSX titles, from simple shapes, small textures and a few well-chosen details. Even if we cannot reveal much publicly yet (but will do during our first calls), just know that our inspirations are Outer Wilds, Voices of the Void and [REDACTED], and very much prefer a good and compelling atmosphere, than realism and pixel-perfect models.
What You Will Do
- Leading the art direction of our project(s), from moodboards to final/polished assets and levels.
- Create 3D assets for the game, mainly environments / sceneries.
- Create textures (256px) to fit the game's visual direction.
- Set dress game levels directly in Godot (it's easy!), by using your assets.
We have many areas of interest that might work out for you (e.g. UI, 2D Art, or 3D), which is why we are keeping this position more general and are directly looking for more people to work with.
More generally, being a small team means that you will have a lot of agency. Ask us questions, drown us with questions about the lore, directions and more, and we will be more than enthusiast to create something that will make you, the team and the players happy.
What We Are Looking For
We'd love to see your style, your ideas and how you approach making art for a game. What we are / are not looking for:
- AI generated art or portfolios (Not allowed)
- Characters only (Not allowed, we mostly need environments!)
- Portfolios that clearly showcase your work (Personal projects count!)
- Worked on at least one commercial project (It's okay if it didn't ship)
- Available from early 2027
- Godot or Unity experience
- Comfortable with 2D
- Experience with PSX style assets
You don't need to match every point above; we have thousands of projects and you might be a match for this or other projects, now or in the future!
Application Notes
Please do not use AI to compile nor write the form. We are humans, working with humans and making games for them as well. Let's keep our communications human too, especially where they matter the most.
We are not looking for service providers or outsourcing studios at this time.
