Distinctions game is looking for talented FX artist. We’re using the wonderful UDK tool set and the game itself is a team based online shooter with competitive edge. We build on the brilliant heritage of Quake & Unreal that feels long lost. "There has been severe lack of a solid competitive shooter in the vein of those classics for years now," says project leader Andrew Lona.

Various guns of mass destruction are back in fast-paced environment that rewards teamplay and throws many unique mechanics to the mix. Game includes trickjumping and adds all the candy any modern player could want (character customization, classes, choice of abilities or achievements).

There is already some great talent on the team and we’re looking to further expand. The team needs a person skilled in visual effects related to games. Experience with UDK isn’t necessary. Suitable candidate should be able to demonstrate examples of previous work. Your job will consist of creating various particles such as weapon or abilities effects.

Distinctions is a noncommercial game with no budget but everyone on the team is very talented and passionate. Some of the members already have experience from the industry or various high profile mods. If you’re gamer and you’d like games related portfolio this might be the chance for you.

You can apply by sending an email to shaftling@distinctions-game.com. Candidates without examples of previous work aren’t going to be considered.
