What could this be???

[Forgetful]

I was bookmarking game companies on the net today (I'm looking for the specs on entry level jobs in the industry) and I came across this at Gearbox.

Environment Artists
Position: Full-Time
Updated: 2009-08-28
We are looking for all levels of Environment Artists who have the passion and talent to create visually stunning environments. Environment Artists will be part of the team creating environment art for an unannounced shooter based on one of the most famous shooters ever created, the Environment Artist will create all types of environment assets, terrain, structures and props. The Environment Artist will report to the Art Director.

interesting...

The first thing that comes to mind is that they've been contracted by Epic to make another Unreal singleplayer game. Or maybe that just comes to mind because I want it so badly.

 

[Forgetful]

I would think so because what other famous FPS games would they have the rights to produce?

 

[ambershee]

Duke Nukem.

Sounds like a gardeners position.
Maybe they need some one to pull weeds, and mow the grass.

Brothers in Arms?

You get to save plants. By fragging bugs, and other pests.

Brothers in Arms?

Hardly one of most famous shooters ever created.

It's more likely Duke Begins - the Duke Nukem prequel that GearBox are known to have rights for.

So they need people to draw strip clubs?

Think of all the fun research

I made an internet query and this came up..

Duke Nukem, hahahahaha wtf. Now that's a title any aspiring and talented Environment Artist would want to be a part of.

 

[ambershee]

It's a good project for any artist to be involved with. Duke Nukem had a broad variety of environments and I wouldn't be surprised if any new games in the franchise would too.
