About MeemWow Games

MeemWow Games is a passionate indie studio based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, currently building an ambitious 2D roguelike strategy game. Our project takes players to the high seas, where they will command multi-deck pirate ships, recruit colorful crews, and engage in intense, tactical cannon combat.

We are looking for a Senior 2D Artist to join our team and become the visual architect of our game. This is a unique opportunity to define the artistic DNA of an indie title that is already functional and ready for a full art pass. If you love roguelikes, have a penchant for nautical themes, and want to exercise genuine creative agency, we want to hear from you.

The Role: Defining the Aesthetic

As our Senior 2D Artist, you will be the lead voice in establishing our visual identity. We aren’t just looking for someone to draw assets; we are looking for a creative partner who understands how art affects gameplay, atmosphere, and player engagement.

Core Responsibilities:

• Visual Direction: Define and drive the game’s art direction and overall visual identity, ensuring a cohesive style across every facet of the game.
• Asset Creation: Produce high-quality, stylized 2D assets, including ship designs, intricate cannons, character/crew portraits, environmental elements, and UI/UX components.
• Pipeline Integration: Work closely with the development team to ensure assets are game-ready. Since the project is already functional, you will see your work implemented in-engine immediately.
• Collaborative Design: Act as a core member of our indie team, contributing ideas, iterating on concepts, and maintaining a high standard of visual consistency.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for an artist who thrives in the indie space—someone who is resourceful, proactive, and deeply invested in the final quality of the project.

Requirements:

• Proven Track Record: Solid experience as a 2D artist in the game industry, evidenced by a strong, varied portfolio.
• Artistic Leadership: A demonstrated ability to set and maintain a cohesive art style. You should have a clear understanding of composition, color theory, and visual storytelling.
• Stylized Expertise: Mastery in creating stylized, game-ready assets that look fantastic in motion.
• Indie Mindset: You are collaborative, easy to work with, and comfortable navigating the iterative nature of indie game development.

Bonus Points:

• A genuine passion for roguelike games and naval/pirate themes.
• Previous experience working directly with Unity (e.g., implementing assets, working with sprite sheets, or UI canvas).

Why Join Us?

• Creative Autonomy: This is a rare chance to shape the entire visual direction of a game from the ground up.
• Immediate Impact: Because our mechanics are functional, you won’t be waiting months to see your work. Your art will be integrated into the build quickly, allowing for immediate feedback and polish.
• Professional Flexibility: We offer a fully remote, paid contract that respects your independence as an artist.
