Axis Forge Studio: Seeking Lead Environment Artist (Founding Partner)

Hello,

I’m xRobloDad, Lead Architect and Founder of Axis Forge Studio.

About Us

After years of solo development, I formalized Axis Forge to focus on engineering a high-fidelity, performant Action MMORPG capable of running natively on Roblox. By treating every element of our development pipeline from combat and world-state to narrative as a modular, isolated service, we ensure the infrastructure remains robust as we scale.

The Team

  • xRobloDad - Lead Architect & Systems Design
  • MrsPenndragon - Lead Creative Producer

The Role: Lead Environment Artist (Founding Partner)

We are building an expansive, immersive world where every vista tells a story. We are looking for a Lead Environment Artist to join us to help define the landscape, architecture, and environmental narrative from the ground up.

The Vision: You will be the architect of our world. We need someone who can translate our "Epic Stylized Fantasy" concept into a playable, performant, and atmospheric environment. Your scope includes everything from terrain sculpting and foliage placement to the design of the modular buildings and structures that populate our cities and ruins.

Core Requirements:

  • World-Building Expertise: Mastery of terrain sculpting, layout design and environmental storytelling. You understand how to guide player attention through elevation, lighting, and composition.
  • Structural Design: Proven ability to create modular buildings and environmental assets that feel cohesive with the natural landscape.
  • Technical Pipeline: Expert knowledge of model optimization (low-poly efficiency vs. high-fidelity visuals), mesh LODs, and lighting properties to keep the game performant.
  • AI-Driven Ideation: We utilize AI as a foundational tool for rapid concept ideation while we finalize our visual style. We are looking for a partner who is not afraid of AI-assisted workflows. You see it as a powerful, time-saving tool, not a replacement for your artistic vision.

Why Join as a Founding Partner?

This is an equity-based, long-term ownership role who wants a true stake in the studio's success and the revenue generated by our projects. Ensuring that you aren't just placing parts. You are crafting the entire visual foundation of Gauntlet: Rebirth.

Who Should Apply

I am looking for partners who thrive on mutual mastery individuals who possess skill in their domain, hold a high standard for quality, and are driven by the desire to build a culture of constant improvement. Please note: All applicants must be 18 years or older.
