Hello! I'm Brady Soglin, an indie developer based in Chicago, USA. I've shipped several games - my most recent is "Tall Trails (2025)", a whimsical exploration game where you play as a golem looking for his purpose.

I'm working on a prototype for a 3D game, and am looking to connect with a freelancer who can help define the art style for the project, as well as build an asset library that I can kitbash with to build levels.

The game will be low poly, set in an indoor, brutalist environment, with a bright, sunlit aesthetic. Its tone is comedic. For inspiration, think Team Fortress 2, Straftat, or look at the submissions to the "Quake Brutalist Jam".

This role will pay hourly, 8 - 16 hours a week for one to two months while the look of the game is being defined. After that, being available to help with ad hoc asset requests would be a plus!

Pay band is USD $30 - $40 /hr (negotiable based on prior experience), starting ASAP.

The Role

• Based on a moodboard, build a beautiful corner in a Unity project to help define an aesthetic for the game
• Build a set of base assets / textures that can be kitbashed for assembling levels
• Ad-hoc, model & texture additional assets

This is a remote gig. We will meet virtually once a week, so light preference for folks based in a timezone compatible with North America.

Requirements

• You are excited to help define the aesthetic of a game in the prototyping stage
• At least 2 years of experience working on a shipped game or mod
• Experience with Unity Engine
• Experience using tools like Blender to create game-ready 3D models, and export them in the FBX format
• Experience authoring textures for models you create
• No use of AI to generate assets
• Bonus: knowledge of shaders / experience w Unity Shader Graph
• Bonus: scripting experience building tools for level designers

To Apply

If interested, send an email with your application. Please include:

• Your resume / portfolio with examples of your work in environmental art
• Info about your experience with Unity
• Info about the software you typically work with
• Your general availability in the next few months
• Bonus: a short description of some choices you’ve made that helped define the look of a game or mod
