Collaboration Recruitment

What’s up guys!?

Bitsquid games are looking to hire an Environmental Artist for Hexaria.

What’s Hexaria?
Hexaria is our flagship game and is available on PC and mobile. It’s a unique card-battle MMO that takes place in a completely original, semi-fantasy world.

What will I be doing?
The role requires you to use our custom tools to create the worlds within Hexaria. Everything from the terrain, gameplay assets (buildings, key locations) to lighting that help create an immersive and performance-friendly experience. The maps will be a similar size to the one in the video below. I’ll be your first point of contact and teach you everything you need to know to use the tools available.

What kind of ship do you guys run?
We don’t really have a mission statement, but we usually say that we’re all about getting super cool people to make a super cool game. Everything else is secondary. That being said, this is a job, and you will be expected to treat it that way. Deadlines will be assigned and are expected to be met, communication is SUPER important to us, if you’re having troubles, we’ll be happy to work with you on a case by case basis.

$$$
You will be paid on a per place basis. The average price paid per map would be $150, but you can be paid more or less than that depending on quality and expansiveness of the project. We’ll try as hard as we can to be fair, but at the end of the day we’re happy to pay more for someone who is consistent and great to work with. The deadlines for each map would be around 4-5 days, allowing us to provide new content weekly.

How old do I have to be?
At least 13 years old, but hopefully a little older so that we know you’re experienced and mature.

I’m in. Where do I sign?
Hit me up via Discord at Crykee#7342 if you’re able, otherwise, here on the DevForums is fine too. The goal of your application is to show us you’re capable and a great guy/gal to work with! We’d love to see some examples of past work, why you’d be a good fit and experiences with any other employers.

Additional info
We want people who are passionate about the project, so if you haven’t played the game please do so before you apply to make sure you actually like it. There is no predetermined duration of work, so you will be working with us for the foreseeable future.

Feel free to reply with any questions or comments!

I’m a scripter not a builder, but I loved watching that speed build.

compared to the programmer job for hexaria that is 2,000 USD a month, the prices you’re offering are really crappy.

i see builders are paid less than programmers in lots of cases. i’ve never really understood it, but it seems really bias.

As a programmer for Hexaria you’d get paid around $400 per working week for 20 hours work as stated in [redacted]'s post.

As an environmental artist you’d get paid $150 for a map that would be created in around 5 hours of work. If you wanted to work 20 hours and we had the workload for it we’d be more than happy for you to do the extra 15 hours of work and end up with $600 per week ($2400 per month)

Programming is different because you’re building frameworks, if something goes wrong an entire feature of gameplay is broken, in this case, quests. If a map or asset isn’t up to standard you can just choose not to use it and stick with the numerous other game assets you have in the meantime. The difference lies between content and mechanics. Mechanics are what make the game playable, content keeps players playing.
Programmers are harder to locate, require more background experience to be good at what they do and have the skills to create their own games, so we’d like to make sure they’re financially happy with the current game they’re working on- in this case Hexaria.

Nothing against guys that do visual work, it’s what I love doing. It’s just a different line of work.
