Hey Artists, Unity of Command WANTS YOU

We’re looking for an artist to add to our team for our secret new project. In case you’re reading this post because you want to know what that project is, you are welcome, but frankly I’m not going to spill an awful lot because it’s still, you know… secret.

Unity of Command, just in case you haven’t heard of it before, is a truly awesome WWII wargame we made a few years back. We are now moving on, and are making a not-entirely-unrelated new game. You can find out more about the original game on this site.

Anyway, we are looking for a 3D environment artist, who would be comfortable working on a hybrid of a somewhat realistic environment and an information-heavy map. If you’re unsure of just what I’m talking about, look at our previous game… that, only in proper 3D, m’kay?

Are YOU this artist? Here are some more details about the job:

• we are looking for a freelance/contract artist. We pay reliably and on time. At the same time we request that you deliver on time too (within reason, we’re not monsters alright).
• you must not be working under a contract that could enforce ownership of your work. If you are currently working for a games company, you need to have a contract that states that they don’t have any claim to work done in your spare time.
• feel free to send us your portfolio, or some other form of a reference. Frankly, we are not interested in people who have never done this kind of work before. Some sort of relevant prior experience is a must.
• finally, being a fan or just having previous experience with Unity of Command would be very much appreciated, but please don’t bullshit us on this point. We would be just fine working with someone who only just heard of this game. Provided they are awesome, that is 🙂

If you’re thinking “hey, this is me!”, please do email me right now: tom at unityofcommand.net.

Otherwise, if you know someone who’d fit, or simply work in games and want to help: please tweet/repost/share this to anyone who you think may be interested.

Thanks!
