Axis Forge: Calling Visual, Narrative, Product, Audio & Event Creators (Open-Canvas Pre-Alpha Session)

About Us

Hi there! We are Axis Forge (VistaFig LLC), an independent game development studio. We have completed the core backend engineering for our flagship fantasy title, Gauntlet: Rebirth, built on top of our proprietary, server-authoritative Crucible Engine.

We don’t deal in empty promises or hypothetical ideas our engine is live, working, and running our vertical slice.

The Core Team

  • @xRobloDad - Lead Architect / Studio Head
  • @MrsPenndragon - Lead Creative Producer (Narrative & World-Building)
  • @Wunder_Wulfe - Principal AI & Entity Systems Engineer (Backend Infrastructure)

About The Job

We are hosting a private “Open-Canvas” Play-Test window. We are dropping selected creators directly into our engine in its current pre-alpha state: working combat, movement and server-authoritative systems, but presenting a blank visual, asset, product and narrative slate.

Rather than asking you to fill out standard tickets, we want you to experience the raw responsiveness of the backend and show us where you see yourself taking ownership across any of the following disciplines:

  • 3D Character & Creature Modelers: Sculpting player classes, bosses, dungeon mobs and combat-ready entities.
  • 3D Environment & Prop Artists: Grounding our grey-box hubs, dungeons and world tilesets in dark fantasy.
  • Pet, Mount & Accessory Creators: Modeling collectible companion pets, mounts, wearable armor sets and cosmetic UGC accessories.
  • Animators & Riggers: Overhauling character/mob rigs, combat readability, hit-reactions and weight of movement.
  • VFX & Technical Artists: Creating high-impact spell effects, ambient particle environments and dynamic lighting/atmosphere.
  • UI/UX & Product Designers: Designing sleek game interfaces, inventory systems and store user flows (e.g., cosmetic/mount showcases inspired by ESO’s Crown Store).
  • Writers & Narrative Designers: Crafting faction lore, NPC hooks, dialogue trees and world prompts to bring the grey boxes to life.
  • Event Planners & Live-Ops Designers: Structuring dynamic world events, seasonal dungeon loops and player-driven community competitions tied to our server architecture.
  • Sound Designers & Composers: Crafting heavy melee audio, punchy spell SFX, ambient dungeon audio and immersive dark fantasy themes.

Payment, Compensation & Onboarding Structure

We operate as a lean, zero-budget startup with a strict legal firewall between permanent Studio Equity and project-specific Game Revenue Share to guarantee fair, contractually secured upside for execution:

  • Title Contributors (Tier 2 & 3): Project-specific Game Revenue Share (Title Rev-Share) via a formal Revenue Participation Agreement for dedicated 3D models (characters, mobs, pets, props), UI, animations, audio, or event design contributions.
  • Core Studio Partners (Tier 1): Studio Equity opportunities (vested over milestone schedules) for dedicated department leads who prove they can take full ownership of a core discipline.

​🛡️ The 60-Day Trial Phase & Creator Safety Clause

​Every partnership at Axis Forge begins with a 60-day mutual trial phase. This gives you the opportunity to evaluate our culture, leadership, and engine workflow, while giving us the opportunity to evaluate pipeline discipline and execution.
​The Safety Guarantee: We believe in absolute fairness. If you successfully complete trial tasks and meet your production pipeline goals, but the studio chooses to part ways for reasons other than missed milestones or failure to perform, you will still be compensated for your time via an agreed proportional revenue-share arrangement once the title launches and begins generating revenue. * Upon successful completion of the trial phase under standard performance, formal long-term contracts and full equity/rev-share allocations are executed
