Studio Yiakoumi is a small game studio based in Bristol, UK. We’re working on our first title, an unnamed Historical 4X, with emphasis on deep engaging gameplay.

We are currently recruiting on a short-term (2wk) contract basis to define an art direction document for the game. The job is only available to UK based individuals.

The resulting art direction document should cover both 2D artwork and 3D model/World direction. Multiple references will be expected as well as guidelines on what to avoid and what to encourage.

Please understand that this job requires that you use no AI tool in generating any form of art or reference picture.

Compensation in the range of 2-3k £ for this contract depending on experience

You ideally have experience playing multiple 4X titles (Civ/Humankind/Age of Wonder/Endless \*) with an understanding of how art direction influences readability, user interactions and UI.

You must be based in the UK, south-west England is preferable but not required.
