Launch Tycoon is Looking for an Artist

Help us transform our indie turn-based strategy game into an irresistible work of space art that's a pleasure to play.

It would be great if you have experience creating mobile game art with a retro-space feel, but we’re also open to you being a brilliant artist who’s willing to take the leap and inspire your way to something beautiful. Brownie points if you're into UX tinkering.

This can be one project among others you’re tackling or a full-on-throw-yourself-into-the-mix kind of thing. Let’s discuss to figure out what’s best all around.

You should be into fun and tolerant of bad puns, though willing to put up with “getting serious” when it rears its beautiful head.

Launch Tycoon is a hard sci-fi strategy game that lets you guide humanity from the first rocket launch to becoming a multi-planetary species. Race your friends on any platform with profit, wits and some kick-ass rocket tech to see what it takes build a solar system empire. It's a free-to-start mix between Civilization, AdVenture Capitalist, and Kerbal Space Program.

We have a working prototype that has gone through multiple rounds of revision and has received lots of positive feedback from playtesters.

We are a small team of Zynga and Imagineering alumni, rocket scientists, and viral marketers who are passionate about people having fun while helping our species figure out how to reach for the stars.

We all work remotely, so you should be okay with mainly talking via Google Hangouts, email and chat. You should also be okay with working on whatever schedule works best for you.

If you’re interested, please send your portfolio or relevant examples of your past work to [email protected]. Or just call Josh at 646.678.2423.

From there, we’ll talk priorities, figure out if this is mutually a good fit and get going!
