What You’ll Be Responsible For

World-building and visual direction

● Define and evolve the visual style, aesthetic direction, and overall look and feel of GRO’s world.

● Review and guide the work of other artists to ensure consistency with the game’s visual identity, design goals, and quality standards.

● Identify visual inconsistencies or gaps early and provide constructive, actionable feedback to bring work back in line with the intended direction.

● Develop concepts for new maps, environments, adventure spaces, exploration areas, characters, props, and interactive elements.

● Establish visual directions that balance imagination and novelty with the familiarity and emotional appeal that resonate with GRO’s players.

● Translate the game’s creative vision into clear visual guidelines, references, and direction that other artists can understand and execute.

Design thinking and player experience

● Work closely with Game Designers to understand gameplay goals, player interactions, and the intended experience before developing visual solutions.

● Approach creative problems through both an artistic and functional lens, considering how spaces and objects will actually be used by players.

● Think through player perspective, navigation, readability, scale, interaction affordances, and the flow of an experience in VR.

● Help design satisfying VR interactions by considering how visual form, feedback, placement, and environmental context support player actions.

● Ask the right questions about player motivation and behavior, and use those insights to make stronger creative decisions.

● Ensure that visual concepts support the game’s mechanics and emotional goals rather than existing only as standalone artwork.

● Help other artists understand the gameplay and player-experience reasoning behind their work, so they can make better design decisions independently.
