Jobbeschreibung

Playops Studio is an AI-powered mobile game studio focused on creating engaging hybrid-casual experiences. We combine creative game design, rapid prototyping, AI-assisted workflows, and data-driven experimentation to develop and validate promising game concepts. Our approach prioritizes player experience, fast iteration, and evidence-based decisions.

We are a lean, ambitious team where creativity, technology, and player insights come together. We are looking for a hands-on AI Technical Game Artist who can combine creative thinking, technical skills, and AI-driven workflows to deliver high-quality game assets and animations.

The Role

At Playops, you will work across 3D art, animation, and visual effects, helping turn early game concepts into polished, playable experiences.

You’ll use AI-powered tools as your primary production workflow to create and develop game assets, applying your technical and artistic skills to refine results and ensure they meet the visual and performance standards of modern mobile games.

Working closely with game designers, developers, and fellow artists, you’ll create engaging visuals, satisfying animations, and gameplay effects across a variety of hybrid-casual concepts. You’ll help improve production workflows and find efficient ways to deliver high-quality results.

Key Responsibilities

• 3D Game Art & Asset Production: Create stylised characters, props, environments, and other 3D assets suitable for mobile games, using AI-driven production workflows.
• Animation & Game Feel: Create and refine 2D and 3D animations, character movements, object interactions, and gameplay feedback to make games feel responsive and satisfying.
• Visual Effects: Develop engaging particle effects, transitions, and visual feedback that enhance gameplay clarity and player experience.
• AI-Driven Production Workflows: Use AI-powered tools for asset generation, animation, and creative exploration. Experiment with new approaches and improve production efficiency.
• Asset Refinement & Optimisation: Identify and resolve visual or technical issues, refine generated assets when needed, and ensure they meet game-ready quality and performance standards.
• Game Engine Integration: Prepare and integrate assets, animations, and effects into Unity, collaborating with developers to ensure smooth implementation.
• Rapid Iteration & Quality: Respond quickly to creative and technical feedback, explore different solutions, and deliver consistently high-quality work without unnecessary production delays.

What We Are Looking For

• 3D Art Fundamentals: A solid understanding of 3D modelling, materials, textures, and stylised game art, with the ability to evaluate and refine assets to meet industry standards.
• Animation & VFX: Good knowledge of animation principles, timing, motion, and visual effects, particularly how they contribute to satisfying mobile gameplay.
• AI-First Mindset: Comfortable using generative AI as a core production method, with an interest in emerging technologies and improving how creative work is produced.
• Technical Art Skills: Practical experience with 3D software, asset optimisation, and resolving common modelling, rigging, or animation issues when manual intervention is needed.
• Unity Experience: Familiarity with importing, configuring, and integrating game assets, animations, materials, and effects into Unity.
• Creative Judgement & Execution: Ability to understand creative requirements, recognise the quality standards expected in modern mobile games, and deliver polished, technically usable results.
• Speed & Problem Solving: Able to work efficiently, adapt to changing requirements, and maintain high quality through rapid production and iteration.
• Ownership & Collaboration: Independent, resourceful, and comfortable taking responsibility for your work while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team.
• Bonus Points: Experience with procedural workflows, shader development, scripting, mobile game optimisation, or AI-driven animation and 3D production.
• A strong portfolio, practical ability, and willingness to learn matter more to us than formal qualifications or a specific number of years in the industry.

Why Join Playops?

• Creative & Technical Ownership: Help bring game concepts to life through 3D art, animation, and visual effects, with real responsibility for the quality of your work.
• AI-Driven Production & Experimentation: Work with emerging technologies, explore new creative approaches, and help develop more efficient ways of producing game art.
• Ground-Floor Impact: Join a close-knit team where your ideas and technical contributions help shape our games, our production workflows, and the future of the studio.
