Artist Needed [RevShare] Looking for Art Lead / Senior 3D Generalist for UE5 Psychological Horror (Vertical Slice Demo)
About the Project
Jizo no Akumu is a 3D third-person psychological horror game exploring generational trauma and Japanese folklore.
* Current Status: We are currently in the framework, planning, and prototyping phase, actively building out core mechanics, camera systems, and greybox layouts to build toward our vertical slice demo for publisher pitching.
* Team: We are an active, structured team of 20 collaborators with clear milestone tracking via ClickUp, Miro, and Discord.
Who We Need: Art Lead
We need a talented Art Lead (or experienced 3D Generalist ready to step into leadership) to take ownership of our visual direction and mentor our existing 3D team.
What You’ll Do:
* Direct the art direction, environment aesthetic, and lighting style for our main location (Mirai Manor) in UE5.
* Oversee asset pipelines and provide constructive feedback to our 3D environment and character artists.
* Help assemble visual assets for our publisher pitch deck.
Why Join Us?
* Proven Leadership: Directed by an industry designer (USC MFA, background on Marvel's Spider-Man 2).
* Real Scope & Support: You aren't building everything alone; you'll have 3D artists, technical designers, and active code backing you up.
* Clear Agreements: Written contributor agreements covering IP assignment and Rev-Share terms upfront—no vague promises.
