About Us

Hug & Roll Gaming is a new game studio based in the San Francisco Bay Area, building our first title: a competitive real-time strategy game. We're a small, ambitious team, and we're looking for talented, passionate people who'll build it with us. Our website: https://hugandroll.com/

The Role

We're hiring a 3D artist to work across characters and environments. We're also looking for someone interested in expanding their skillset into rigging, animation, 2D concept work, and other assets.

The art direction is stylized and cartoony — League of Legends, StarCraft, Overwatch. Because this is an RTS, everything has to stay readable at gameplay camera distance.

If you've been wanting to expand your range and haven't had the room to do it, this is that job.

Responsibilities

Model, sculpt, retopo, UV, and texture stylized characters and units
Build environment assets: terrain, structures, props, and set dressing
Take assets into engine — materials, LODs, in-engine look dev
Grow into adjacent work over time: rigging, animation, concept art, UI art
Collaborate on the overall art style and vibe of the game

What We're Looking For

A portfolio of stylized 3D work
Proficiency in ZBrush and Blender
Working knowledge of Unreal Engine 5
Passion for games, learning, and growing with a small team

Nice to Have

Rigging
Animation
2D skills: concept art, texture painting, or UI elements

What We Offer

A small, passionate team where your voice matters
Remote-friendly
Competitive rates based on experience
