Lead Artist – Red London Games

About Red London Games

Founded by AAA industry veterans, Red London Games is an independent game development studio focusing on roguelite games.

The Project: Heaven Fall

Heaven Fall is a 3D third-person action roguelite where a goth angel fights through a modern vision of Hell to save humanity. The game relies on a striking visual dichotomy: an Art Nouveau-inspired Heaven (Arcane series) clashing against the oppressive, Brutalist architecture of Hell (Blade Runner 2049, Control game) mixed with anime vibes (Dan Da Dan series, Wuthering Waves game).

● Asset Creation: Hands-on 3D modeling and texturing of key environments, props, and architectural set pieces that define the Art Nouveau and Brutalist aesthetics.

● Cross-Discipline Collaboration: Work with game design, engineering, and VFX to ensure artistic vision aligns with performance budgets and gameplay clarity.

● Mentorship & Feedback: Provide clear, constructive feedback to future art hires and external partners to maintain a high-quality visual bar.

Requirements:

Experience: 5+ years of experience in game development as a Senior or Lead Artist, with at least 1 shipped title.
