Squanch Games has some crazy worlds, and those worlds need buildin’. We’re currently looking for an environment artist to help make these worlds a reality. This person will need to be able to work closely with the design and art departments to make sure that the game will hit the artistic vision without compromising on the design.

At Squanch Games, we make stuff that people love; Games that we want to play ourselves.
