Turtle Rock Studios Working on New AAA Game
It looks like Turtle Rock Studios - the developer behind Evolve and Left 4 Dead - are already working on a new title although we're unsure whether the game will be a new IP or a sequel for Evolve. This news comes to us after an advertisement for a concept artist hit the developer's website.
From the advert, we can see that the game will involve vehicles in one way or another but otherwise, no hints are given to the nature of the new project;
We are seeking a talented Environment Concept Artist to join our team and work on an upcoming AAA title. The job will require collaborating closely with environment artists to create assets ranging from mood paintings to prop illustrations. Candidates need to be comfortable using both 2D and 3D tools to generate creative design solutions, and should have strong hard surface and architectural design skills.
Responsibilities
Create high quality mood paintings and sketches to inspire and guide environment artists and game designers
Break down loose mood paintings into usable designs and layout sheets for modelers to work from
Work with the art director and other concept artists to ensure artistic style goals are implemented across the game
Requirements
Strong sense of visual design for architecture, vehicles, and weapons
Basic modeling skills in 3DS Max, Maya, or SketchUp
Excellent communication skills. Must be able to thrive in a highly collaborative, team oriented environment
Strong work ethic, and ability to maintain high quality and consistent progress without constant supervision
Attention to detail and creative problem solving
Preferences
Previous experience in environment design or industrial design for games
Shipped one or more major titles
If you're interested in the offering, be sure to check out the developer's job page. It's very unlikely we'll be hearing anything about the game at E3, given the pre-production role a concept artist undertakes, but we're excited nonetheless!
