Required Qualifications:

  • Having an artistic eye to spot ways of improving the overall visual quality of the game
  • Experience creating textures and setting up lighting in Unity 3D 
  • Familiarity with technical art development pipeline and best practices
     
Bonus points if you have experience:

About Pomsky Games

Pomsky Games is a small and independent game development studio based in Toronto, Canada. We make mobile games that address important social issues like environment pollution, mental health, inclusion etc. 

Our Values
  • Focus on Environment. We challenge the established game design practices of portraying the environment as something we could endlessly consume.
  • Collaboration. We create game mechanics that motivate players to collaborate rather than compete by offering them common goals to reach.
  • Zero violence. You would not be able to kill live beings in our games, but you would help and rescue; there is no animal abuse in anything we create.
  • Advocate for ethical lifestyle. We strive to communicate meaningful messages in our games that show players the importance of treating each other and the planet with care.
‍We are a crew of developers passionate about both the environment and video games. As people who want to make a difference, we couldn't ignore the ecological disaster that we are all witnessing nowadays, and we figured why not to raise those issues in our games? We believe we could make a difference offering to the market ethical and enjoyable games to play!
