3D Environment Art

Job Description

Galaxy Grove is a game studio in Utrecht, Netherlands, specialising in high quality 3D management and building games (entertainment games, not applied/serious games). Our games have a strong atmosphere, striking art and unique, intuitive gameplay. We are currently a team of 16 people. We’ve released our first game Station to Station last year to great critical acclaim and are currently working on Town to City and an unannounced new management game. Galaxy Grove is founded and led by award winning game industry veteran Joost van Dongen (Awesomenauts, Swords & Soldiers, Blightbound, Robo Maestro, Proun, Cello Fortress, De Blob).

Galaxy Grove is looking for a 3D environment art intern to join us during the second half of 2025. As an environment art intern, you’ll work with us on our new games. You will make 3D voxel models, texture them and bring them into Unreal. You’ll work in MagicaVoxel, Blender and Unreal on things like buildings, vehicles, props and environments. It’s okay if you’ve never made voxel art before: if you’re good at 3D, you can learn the specifics of voxel art during the internship. You’ll also be involved in the games and company as a whole, like joining in playtests and sharing your ideas and thoughts for our games.

Galaxy Grove is an inclusive game studio where everyone with a passion for making great games is welcome. We believe in helping each other get better at our craft, in learning new skills, and in a healthy work-life balance where overtime and crunch are avoided.

Requirements:

• Skilled in 3D art (can be any 3D software)
• Skilled in creating props, buildings, machines and/or environments
• Good at communicating in English
• Doesn’t need a visa to work in the Netherlands (if you have an EU passport you don’t need a visa)
• Has a place to live within commute distance from our office in Utrecht (we don’t do fully remote internships and the student housing market in the region is too hard to find a temporary place to live in time)

Pluses:

• Experience with voxel art
• Experience with Blender
• Experience with Unreal Engine
• Experience with other art fields or tools, like for example animation, concept art, Substance or graphical design

This is a hybrid position, with Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday working from the Galaxy Grove office in Utrecht. The other days can be either working from home or from the office, depending on your preference.

Note that an internship is not the same as a junior job. An internship is a full-time learning position, for a period of 4 to 6 months, and usually as a mandatory part of an education. An internship pays a small monthly financial compensation and is far below a full job’s salary.

To apply, please send an email to jobs@galaxy-grove.com.
