IDEA Games is an indie game studio based in Takoma Park, MD, USA. Our first game, OtherWordly, is a multiple-award winning mobile game about matching words in a space-themed environment. We have an existing visual style: https://www.otherwordly.com/beta/OWSampleJun2022.jpg

The game is in beta, and we are finalizing and expanding screens for monetization, customization, and long-term engagement — i.e. fun gifts for players' avatars!

We need your help because our long term teammate has a medical issue, and is unable to work right now.

You would be working with Michael, the studio lead, to create polished design mockups (e.g. in Photoshop) based on notes, sketches and drafts. Our front-end Svelte developer will implement the designs in the game. You would bring your own eye, and a design style compatible with our current look and feel, to complete and polish our designs, and create alternative orientations (e.g. portrait and landscape).

We will provide clear guidance, friendly collaboration, draft/sketch screens/UIs, illustrations (e.g. characters), and examples of existing designs. Your task is to help us delight and entice players. You should have a sense of what makes a UI work well, but this is primarily a design job, wrangling designs, shading, gradients, typography, and shapes to make new screens which complement the current screens, and help us finalize our game. 

You can apply with a very short email to [email protected] with either one portfolio piece, or a link to your online portfolio.
