The posting
Our client is a Kraków-based game studio building slots and casino games. They are launching two new product lines - classic slots and a brand-new line of hyper-casual 3D games with a gambling twist - and are looking for a hands-on Art Director to own the visual side.
This is not a role for someone who only reviews other people's work. You will set the art direction and make a big part of the art yourself - using AI tools wherever they speed things up, and your own skills where they don't.
- Set the art direction and visual style for new games, from first sketch to release
- Produce art yourself: symbols, backgrounds, characters and paint-over in Photoshop
- Design game UI: layout, hierarchy and colour
- Animate in Spine: rigging, animating and fixing files coming from AI tools and external studios
- Build the AI art workflow from scratch - generation, paint-over, prompts, pipelines and reusable setups that end in Spine-ready assets
- Work side by side with the game producer and developers to get art into the games
- Lead external art studios (briefs, feedback, quality control) and bring more of the work in-house over time
- Senior, full-time role on a B2B contract
- Hybrid work in Kraków - around 1-2 days a week in the office for brainstorming and fast iterations with the team
- Real creative ownership in a small team, with direct contact with the CEO, game producer and developers
- A chance to shape the look and the AI art pipeline of brand-new game lines
- Start: January 2027
