**Why Goose Byte**:
Do you wish that you could spend your work hours actually making games? We're offering that low-overhead-indie-team-productivity along with all of the stability and I-can-sleep-at-night big studio perks.

We're cultivating an inclusive, high performance, talent dense team where collaboration is key and we won't be tolerating talented jerks. High integrity is important and we nurture an environment built around the concepts of freedom, inclusivity, respect, sustainability, and trust.

As a VFX Artist, you will be responsible for delivering a high standard in visual quality, emphasizing a sense of drama, visual narrative, and tone that reflects the Art Directors' vision. Through the use of your artistic and technical skills, you will be creating a pipeline for all VFX embellishing the game’s look and experience. You will be developing various VFX to enhance biomes for a Sci-Fi open-world game using Unreal Engine 5.

What is key in this position is the capacity to work closely with all directors and team members. From Design, Programming, and Art, you will be responsible for seeking out and building a close working relationship with all team members. As a member, you will need to be proactive and independent to be successful at Goose Byte.

**Our First Project**:
For our first project we’re making an open world survival crafting game that focuses on exploration and creativity over violence and combat, finding a unique space in a crowded genre to bring something exciting and different to players.

We’re creating our own IP, building on our love of science fiction, worldbuilding, and unconventional games, and as an indie studio we have full creative freedom and control.

Using our experience from leading AAA open world and action adventure games we’re thinking practically and pragmatically about our choices, from technology, to scope of features, and where to place our bets for quality and innovation.

There are lots of challenges ahead but we are setting our own ambitions and expectations, leveraging our scale to be decisive, move quickly, and make the game better every day.
