We’re hiring and looking to connect with a 3D Environment Artists!
Edge of the World Studios is looking to connect with an Environment Designer / 3D Level Artist to help shape the playable spaces of Halima, a 2.5D narrative puzzle-platforming adventure currently in development. This role sits between level design and environment art. You’ll work closely with our Design and Art Teams to help translate gameplay, traversal, puzzle flow, and visual direction into clear, readable, and atmospheric in-game spaces. The role will focus on greyboxing, blockout, layout, scene composition, and supporting the creation of 3D environment assets.
The Project:
Halima is a 2.5D narrative puzzle-platformer inspired by folklore, mythology, and surreal dreamscapes. The game draws inspiration from claymation and stop-motion film, aiming to achieve a handcrafted, tactile feel. We’re looking for someone who can help us shape environments from an early design layout into spaces that feel playable, visually intentional, and aligned with the game’s mood and art direction.
