Judging by this creative, you can tell we need help 😂 (no offence Stan) Keywords Studios Australia, comprising of Tantalus Media, Wicked Workshop, and Mighty Games Group are recruiting for an experienced Senior Graphic Designer. This is a part-time role, based out of Box Hill, Victoria and is Hybrid. We work in the wonderfully entertaining and creative world of video games. We're certainly not stuffy, more like chilled, fun, supportive, and inclusive. The work we produce is world renown, and we're fortunate to work with some of the best known publishers and titles in the world. Link to further information about this opportunity in the comments.

💡 The idea: Assemble a fully equipped development team tasked with designing and developing a video game that maximised its utilisation of Generative AI tools. Welcome to our R&D initiative 'Project AVA'! 🤖 Some context: As with almost everyone in 2023, our teams were drawn into the intriguing world of Generative AI tools. Our studios across the world explored this field in depth, resulting in a diverse set of outcomes and were looking to harness all this research into one comprehensive project. Innovation at Keywords Studios backed the project in its entirety and offered a platform to test the practical realities of using Generative AI tools within an authentic game development cycle. The goal was learning by doing. We hope that all our gained insights will benefit our studios and our clients alike. 🎮 What's next for this R&D initiative: "The game is fully playable at present, and we plan to complete a web-based version soon." To find out more, read our interview with Serkan Hassan, Studio Head at Electric Square in Malta. Serkan also discusses our R&D approach for Project AVA including some of the legal, ethical, and commercial concerns we faced. 👉 https://loom.ly/qaMHX48 Watch this space for more Project AVA updates and learnings! #Innovation #ArtificialIntelligence #GameDev #ImagineMore

Kendra and the team at Keywords Studios are doing some pretty amazing things right here in Brisbane. Keywords is one of the world's largest video game services companies. They dream of Queensland being the gaming development capital of Australia - but it's not just a dream, they're achieving it. We're proud as a Government to be supporting Keywords in developing their Centre of Excellence to support specialist capabilities and world first innovative gaming technology, that will revolutionise the industry. Keywords could have gone anywhere with their Centre of Excellence from Montreal to Melbourne, but they chose Brisbane with the support of Queensland Treasury's Invested in Queensland Program. We're supporting them to create good jobs for Queenslanders, in highly skilled industries, creating some really amazing products that will be enjoyed the world over. That's the Keywords story - and we want it to continue to be a huge success, so we are immensely proud to be backing them. #innovation #softwaredevelopment #qldjobs
