Perfect Crime Games is an independent video game studio founded by industry veteran programmer James Persaud and award-winning narrative designer Baudelaire Welch. We aim to create historical fantasy narrative-focused games with retro aesthetics inspired by the 8-bit era. Our project Parliament of Hell has received funding from the UK Games Grant government funding initiative.
Work with us on Parliament of Hell
Parliament of Hell is an isometric point and click adventure game set in the 18th century houses of Parliament. It stars Gothic horror writer Matthew Lewis, and treats historical and literary figures with a British satirical lens. The style is a modern twist on the ZX Spectrum. Applicants with evidence of producing work inspired by the ZX spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC or dare I even say the BBC Micro are preferred.
2D Artist
We have a lovely 2D artist who has recently started working in a generalist capacity on the project, but are interested in hearing from specialist artists in a variety of fields who could come in and cover a set range of features within the game:
- Environmental art (props and dynamic backdrops)
- Cutscene art (sets of still illustrations)
- Character portraits
- Character sprites
- User interface
We are interested in hearing from talented artists interested in any of the above fields, to see how you might fit into our project!
Desirable experience:
- Experience with isometric draughtsmanship for environmental art applications
- For portraits or sprites, evidence of strong character design for a character-focused game
- Experience creating animations in aseprite
- Understanding of ZX Spectrum techniques such as attribute blocks
- Experience with 8bit / pixel artwork
- Understanding of source control (sourcetree) and JIRA
- Passion for adventure games
We are looking for candidates available for:
- A flexible number of part-time hours based around regular commissions
- Domiciled in the UK
- Remote work
Please see the demo of the game for reference as to the early direction of the game’s style.
