Tech Artist

Black and White is an indie game studio building PC projects with a strong focus on visual style, iteration speed, and modern production tools. We value outcomes over “hours spent” and keep meetings to the minimum.

What are you working on?

• The name of the project(s): Dragon Shelter
• At what stage of the project(s)? Demo
• Genres: Simulation, Role-playing
• Platforms: PC, Console

Team size and structure?

10

For which tasks (responsibilities)?

• Set up and maintain rendering pipelines (Unity URP/HDRP )

• Create and tune materials for a wide range of game assets

• Work with post-processing to achieve the target visual style

• Optimize assets and scenes for maximum real-time performance

• Find the best technical solutions for art goals (quality vs performance trade-offs)

• Maintain visual consistency across the project (lighting, materials, PP, style rules)

• Rapid 3D prototyping & processing, mixing classic tools with neural workflows

• Integrate and operationalize AI tools in the production pipeline (Flux, Tripo, Stable Diffusion)

• Collaborate closely with programmers, 3D artists, and animators

What kind of professional are we looking for?

• Experience with Unity (URP/HDRP) or Unreal Engine (Deferred Renderer, Lumen)

• Solid understanding of the game art pipeline (high-poly → low-poly → texturing → engine)

• Strong skills in materials/shaders setup inside engines

• Artistic eye: composition, color, lighting

• Real-time asset optimization mindset

• Understanding of rendering principles and shader basics

• General 3D skills (Blender / Maya / 3ds Max)

• Shader skills: Shader Graph and/or HLSL

What is important for us in a person?

• Creativity

• Understanding of effectiveness

• Result mindset

Why do we enjoy working here?

• Creative ownership: You can directly influence rendering, lighting, materials, post-processing, and the overall visual direction.

• Fast iteration & low bureaucracy: Minimal meetings, clear priorities, quick feedback, and decisions made by the people doing the work.

• Freedom to experiment: We encourage trying new tech and workflows (including AI-assisted pipelines) when it improves quality and speed.

• Professional growth: Optional mentorship/consultations with senior specialists (AAA backgrounds) + strong peer collaboration with devs/artists/animators.

• Result-driven culture: We care about shipped outcomes and measurable impact, not “hours spent online.”

• Real product impact: Your work immediately affects what players see and feel in-game.

What are the conditions and bonuses?

• Flexible schedule: You plan your day — we align on goals and deadlines.

• Remote-friendly: Work remotely

• Impact-based compensation: After internship/probation — base pay + strong performance bonuses for efficiency and results.

• Project-based percentage: After internship/probation — an additional percentage tied to project results (discussed individually).

• Low meeting load: Async-first communication, short calls only when needed.

• Paid time off & sick days: Provided according to the contract and local regulations (details discussed individually).

• Business trips / events: Possible occasionally (industry events, meetings) when it makes sense — optional and discussed in advance.

• Relocation: Not required. If relocation is ever considered, terms are discussed individually.
