Lead Pixel Artist

Location: Remote (Turkey preferred)

Type: Full-Time Employment

About the Role

We’re building our first title — an action 2D platformer + semi-open-world top-down shooter — and we need someone to own the game’s entire visual identity. Not just “draw this,” but shape the look and feel from the ground up: environments, characters, UI, and overall atmosphere.

This is a core team role, not a short-term contract — you’ll be an integral part of the studio’s creative direction

What You’ll Do

• Define the game’s visual style and maintain a consistent aesthetic.
• Create environment tilesets, props, and backgrounds for platformer and top-down layers.
• Design characters, NPCs, and animations with personality and clarity.
• Develop a palette strategy and style guide for future assets.
• Collaborate with level design and programming to ensure art supports gameplay.
• Suggest creative solutions for performance-friendly art pipelines.

What We’re Looking For

• Fluent English communication.
• Strong pixel art skills with a portfolio that shows style and versatility.
• Experience creating game-ready assets (tilesets, sprites, UI).
• Understanding of color theory, readability, and visual hierarchy in 2D.
• Ability to work independently and proactively contribute ideas.
• Comfortable using tools like Aseprite, Photoshop, or similar.
• Animation experience (idle, walk cycles, VFX).
• Familiarity with game engines (Unity, Godot, etc.).
• Nice to Have:
  • Prior shipped games or game jams.
  • Interest in cinematic framing and atmosphere in 2D worlds.

Why Join Us?

• Be the first art voice in a new studio — shape everything.
• Fully remote, flexible working environment.
• A team that values creativity over crunch.
• Competitive salary, long-term opportunity, and room to grow as the studio expands
