Own the Visual Identity of a Growing Studio

Wizard Games Inc. is looking for a Senior Artist to define and elevate the visual identity of our games across a rapidly growing cross-platform ecosystem.

We’re a small, experienced team building games played by millions—especially on Connected TV platforms like Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TV, and LG TV. Now, we’re pushing to the next level: higher quality, stronger visual identity, and broader reach across mobile, console, desktop, and TV.

This role is a rare opportunity to own the visual bar for an entire studio.

? The Opportunity

You won’t just be executing art—you’ll be defining what our games look and feel like.

- Establish a distinct, recognizable visual style for Wizard Games
- Lead the artistic direction of current and future titles
- Work directly with the founder/game director to shape game experiences
- Help elevate the entire team’s aesthetic sensibilities

Our first project together:

A cross-platform 3D-adventure-style merge game where players clean and transform spaces, interact with characters, complete missions and enjoy a comedic and heartfelt story.

We’re aiming for:

? Colorful, cozy, approachable—but polished and highly appealing

? What You’ll Do

- Own the visual direction of our games from concept to final polish
- Create high-quality 2D illustrations, including:
- Character and environment concepts
- UI and icons
- Marketing materials
- Design appealing, memorable characters that fit a cohesive world and tone
- Build and render stylized 3D characters, environments and assets
- Define lighting, composition, color, and overall aesthetic quality




- Work hands-on in Unity to implement and refine visuals
- Collaborate closely with the game director (you’ll have real influence)
- Provide art direction and feedback to the broader team

⚙️ Work Within Real Constraints

- Balance visual quality vs performance across platforms:
- Optimize for lower-end devices (Smart TVs / WebGL)
- Push fidelity on higher-end platforms (console, PC)
- Make smart use of:
- Existing assets (Unity Asset Store, etc.)
- Procedural or AI-assisted workflows
- Efficient pipelines and reuse strategies

? We value artists who are resourceful, pragmatic, and outcome-driven

? What We’re Looking ForMust-Haves

- Strong portfolio demonstrating:
- ? 3D modeling + rendering of characters and environments
- ? High-quality 2D art
- Excellent aesthetic judgment and taste (this is critical)
- Experience working in Unity
- Ability to take ownership and define visual direction, not just execute
- Strong understanding of art optimization for game performance.
- Proven industry experience in games (or equivalent level of work)
- A scrappy, problem-solving mindset—able to create great results within time and resource constraints

Nice-to-Haves

- Experience shipping games across multiple platforms
- Familiarity with performance constraints (mobile, WebGL,



or low-spec hardware)
- Experience with stylized/cozy/casual art directions
- Shader, lighting, or rendering experience in Unity (URP, etc.)
- Experience incorporating or adapting third-party or AI-generated assets into a cohesive style

? How You’ll Fit In

- Work directly with the Founder / Game Director
- Be the person the team looks to for visual quality and direction
- Spend most of your time hands-on creating, with some light direction/feedback responsibilities
- Help shape not just individual games—but the visual identity of the company

? Location & Work Style

- Based in British Columbia (required)
- Preference for candidates in Victoria, BC
- Flexible:
- Work from our shared office in Victoria
- Or fully remote within BC

-

? Compensation & Benefits

- Salary: $90,000 – $130,000 CAD (depending on experience and fit)
- Profit sharing program
- Extended medical & dental benefits
- 4 weeks paid vacation
- Flexible Friday (one extra day off per month)
- Annual salary reviews and raises
- Adaptable work environment (remote-friendly)

? Why Wizard Games?

- One of the leading publishers on an emerging platform category (Connected TV)
- A cross-platform capable indie studio
- Millions of players across platforms
- Small team = high ownership and impact
- Opportunity to define the visual identity of a growing studio from the ground up



? How to Apply

Please include:

- Portfolio
- Resume
- Cover letter explaining:
- Why this role excites you
- Your experience with both 2D and 3D art
- Any experience defining or evolving a visual style
