8monkey Labs, Inc. is an independent game developer bent on counter-revolutionizing the game industry. As a breakthrough move to set itself apart from the rest of the industry, 8monkey Labs has decided to develop a next-next-gen title. One-upping the current-next-gen industry is no small feat, though. It requires a highly motivated and competent core development team to pull off this bold move. This team is expanding and now seeking a Texture Artist for a permanent, full-time position that WILL still be there even after the current game is done.
