This project is a complete remaster of a previously released title (DOD), upgrading it with modern graphics and a unique visual identity. This is a global collaboration project between teams in South Korea (Chungkang College) and Finland company.
*Also, this is an unpaid role, so there will be no separate compensation for participating in the project.
1. Why We Are Expanding the Team
During our first semester, a small team aimed to visually remaster the previous release of DOD to fit modern graphic trends while recycling existing assets. However, we identified several fundamental issues:
- Lack of a clear, unified art direction and visual inconsistencies from reusing old assets.
- Repetitive and uninspired combat mechanics lacking unique appeal.
- Issues with controls and hit impact/feedback.
- A need for distinct character roles to make co-op multiplayer actually fun.
- Repetitive stage structures and content design flaws.
To address these issues post-milestone, our global team has decided on a massive overhaul driven by three core strategies:
2. Open Positions
- 3D Environment Modeler: 2
- 2D Character Concept Artist: 2
- 2D Environment Concept Artist: 2
- UI/UX Designer: 1
- VFX Artist: 2
We primarily use Blender, Unity, and Substance 3D Painter (among other relevant tools).
3. Art Direction Low-Poly · Stylized · Oil-Painting Shaders · Sky Cubemaps
We are blending Western-preferred stylized aesthetics with the grim, bleak, and heavy atmosphere of Dark Fantasy. The goal is to depict a desperate, ruined world as if it were an oil painting. We aim to turn the technical limitations of low-poly into a highly distinct and charming visual signature exclusive to our game.
Desired VFX Style: 2D VFX style inspired by Arcane
