Hi there
I'm the game director of Himeki Games, we focus on premium, hardcore games ranging from old-school arcade games to first-person VR experiences.
We're currently looking for an asset artist for our project, Hoshi he no Chikai. The game is a mecha-anime story-driven Danmaku SHMUP inspired by Dodonpachi, Progear and Ikaruga.
You would need to do assets for the enemies, bosses, players, backgrounds, UI and such. You will also need to do some animations as well.
You can find more info about the project, including concept arts and dev updates, here:

We're using Unity5 for the game. The project started about 2 months ago, and we already have something playable, with multiplayer, level editor and lots of other tools, dialogues, so it's all going pretty smoothly
And now we need an asset artist to get rid of the ugly placeholder arts and make it look as cool as possible!
If you're interested, please contact me at attilio [at] himekigames.com and send me a PM here.
We're based in London, UK, but remote work is fine. This is a contract position.
