#News #Game Design #Game Development #Jobs #IndieDev

Create premium user interfaces for games set in popular universes.

Telltale Games, the studio behind the interactive experiences set in the popular worlds of The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Guardians of the Galaxy and Minecraft, needs someone to create premium user interfaces. The small UI team within Telltale needs your help designing, creating and implementing that interface (both the “front end” and HUD) across multiple platforms and languages.

The UI Artist position requires not only an understanding of traditional Graphic Design, but some comfort with 3D modeling, animation, game design and even a dash of programming. It’s much more than creating icons. It requires a “jack of all trades” confidence to be successful. Compounding this is the fact the Telltale Games makes products unlike any on the market using a one-of-a-kind proprietary tool…

You will be working within established technical and design specifications, alongside experienced and helpful team members. Prior industry experience is not needed, although you will be expected to be able to both collaborate and work independently, troubleshoot technical issues, all while maintaining a demanding workload in a fast-paced environment.
