Garawell Games

<div>
 
 
 About Garawell Games
 
 
 
 Garawell Games is a focused mobile studio building high‑quality
 
 hybrid‑casual and casual
 
 titles. Since 2019, our 12‑person team has created 400+ prototypes and delivered global hits totaling
 
 750M+ downloads
 
 . We&rsquo;re expanding our art team with a hands‑on
 
 Technical Artist / Game Artist
 
 who can elevate moment‑to‑moment gameplay with smart visuals, crisp animation, and efficient Unity integration.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Role Overview
 
 
 
 You&rsquo;ll bridge art and implementation: crafting performant 3D/2D assets and bringing them to life with
 
 particles, shaders, and UI motion
 
 . You&rsquo;ll help push prototypes to a
 
 market‑ready level of polish
 
 before testing, while collaborating tightly with designers and developers across a variety of fast‑moving projects.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What You&rsquo;ll Do
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Create and deliver
 
 3D assets
 
 (environments, props, simple characters incl.
 
 stickmen
 
 ) and essential
 
 2D/UI elements
 
 for features and meta.
 </li>
 <li>
 Build and tune
 
 particle effects
 
 (Unity Particle System / VFX Graph) that enhance readability, impact, and game feel.
 </li>
 <li>
 Author
 
 Shader Graph
 
 materials for stylized looks; manage textures, atlases, and asset settings for mobile performance.
 </li>
 <li>
 Produce clean
 
 UI animations/micro‑interactions
 
 (transitions, feedback, pop‑ups) that align with gameplay timing.
 </li>
 <li>
 Rig and animate
 
 simple 3D characters
 
 and gameplay objects; set up timelines/animation clips for snappy loops and events.
 </li>
 <li>
 Collaborate with dev/design to integrate assets in Unity, resolve edge cases, and maintain visual consistency across multiple prototypes.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 What You Bring
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 Balanced 3D + 2D foundation
 
 (your case task will cover both).
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Must‑have:
 
 
 Unity
 
 and
 
 Shader Graph
 
 proficiency.
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong eye for timing, motion, readability, and tactile feedback.
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience creating
 
 particles/VFX
 
 ,
 
 UI art &amp; motion
 
 , and
 
 simple character animation (stickmen/low‑poly)
 
 .
 </li>
 <li>
 Solid understanding of
 
 mobile constraints
 
 (draw calls, texture memory, batching, import settings, LOD/mesh density).
 </li>
 <li>
 Clear communication and a collaborative, hands‑on mindset.
 </li>
 <li>
 C# scripting
 
 not required
 
 (ability to configure and hook up assets inside Unity is enough).
 </li>
 <li>
 We&rsquo;re open on seniority (Mid&ndash;Senior); a strong
 
 portfolio
 
 matters most.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 Nice to have:
 
 Blender (or similar), Photoshop/Figma/AE for quick iterations; experience shipping mobile games.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Why Garawell
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Direct impact on prototypes that can reach
 
 millions
 
 .
 </li>
 <li>
 Creative autonomy and a
 
 polish‑first prototyping
 
 culture.
 </li>
 <li>
 Remote‑friendly,
 
 virtual office
 
 setup with fast feedback cycles.
 </li>
 <li>
 Work on
 
 varied projects
 
 rather than a single long pipeline.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 How We Hire
 
 
 <ol>
 <li>
 We&rsquo;ll first reach out with a brief message.
 </li>
 <li>
 You&rsquo;ll complete a short
 
 application survey
 
 .
 </li>
 <li>
 A
 
 5&ndash;10 minute
 
 intro chat.
 </li>
 <li>
 A
 
 case assignment
 
 (2D + 3D asset creation and Unity integration focusing on particles, shaders, UI motion, and simple animation).
 </li>
 <li>
 Offer decision based on the case and overall fit.
 </li>
 </ol>
 
 
 
 
 
 Apply on LinkedIn with your CV + portfolio
 
 (please include Unity/VFX samples, UI motion examples, and any stickman/3D animation work).
 
 
 
 
 
 Let&rsquo;s build playful, polished experiences&mdash;fast.
