We're the studio behind the hit franchise Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. At Torn Banner we understand that long, hard hours are not conducive to being a happy, healthy person. Combine this idea with a flat studio structure and profit sharing and you've got ideals that promote a positive, low stress environment to help us create awesome games. As a small team of developers, each individual has a huge impact on the final product that we put out, so we put emphasis on being open with each other, giving/receiving critical feedback, and not letting an false sense of authority cloud our vision. The more eyes and input that we have from different disciplines and personality types, the better our releases will be.

As a Technical Artist, you will be responsible for a wide range of tasks and should expect a variety of issues and challenges for our games. You'll also be instrumental in planning out our projects and driving the technical feature sets of them. As the bridge between artist and programmers in dealing with the technical restraints of game development, you'll have a big part in helping us execute the vision of our projects.
