AI Breakthrough: Round8 Studio Seeks 'AI Creators'
New Hiring Initiatives at Round8 Studio
Round8 Studio, a development division under Neowiz, is currently seeking new talent for the creation of its upcoming game titles. This recruitment drive includes a unique role: an 'AI Creator' who will play a pivotal role in the production of game graphics using generative AI technology.
The job posting indicates that Round8 Studio has begun hiring for several new projects, including the sequel to "Lies of P" and other subculture-themed initiatives. Among these, the search for 'AI Creators' stands out as particularly innovative.
Role of AI Creators
AI Creators will be responsible for developing a distinct art pipeline that merges the creativity of artists with the efficiency of AI. These individuals will be assigned to the Art 2 Division, where they will utilize generative AI tools like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney to generate and expand upon concept drafts for characters and backgrounds.
Their responsibilities extend beyond just generating content. They will also integrate advanced technologies into existing workflows, including AI-based texturing, modeling assistance via Image-to-3D technology, and training project-specific AI models using LoRA and ControlNet. Additionally, they will handle post-processing tasks suitable for actual game implementation, such as inpainting, outpainting, and high-resolution upscaling. They will also guide in-house artists on the effective use of AI tools.
Qualifications and Requirements
To qualify for these positions, candidates must have a strong foundational understanding of form, color, and composition before utilizing AI tools. The studio seeks individuals with excellent skills in precise prompt engineering and parameter control to achieve desired results. Proficiency in Stable Diffusion (Automatic1111/ComfyUI), Midjourney, and Photoshop is essential.
Preferred qualifications include practical experience in 2D concept art or 3D modeling, experience applying AI resources directly within game engines, and a comprehensive understanding of AI ethics and copyright legal guidelines.
Commitment to Gaming Culture
Round8 Studio has explicitly stated in its job posting that it is looking for individuals who genuinely enjoy games. The studio emphasized its commitment to gaming by politely declining applications from those who do not like or play games. The positions are full-time roles with a three-month probationary period, based at the Neowiz headquarters in Pangyo, with a flexible working hour system in place.
Overview of Round8 Studio
Round8 Studio is composed of six teams, including Team Nough (Lies of P), Team Tabby (Project CF), and Team Foucault (Project Windy). In a related development, Neowiz announced during its earnings call on the 11th that the sequel to Lies of P has passed the prototyping stage and is entering full-scale development. This marks a significant milestone for the studio and highlights its ongoing investment in innovative game development.
