"A propeller rumbles in the distance. You turn your head and gaze towards the horizon as you find yourself standing on the ledge of a steep drop with nothing but skies beneath you. An approaching gust throws you off balance and you feel as if you're about to tip over and down into the abyss. As your body jolts into action, correcting your stance, you hear a friend behind you scream "watch out!". A flying craft, the Wasp, bursts through the clouds and heads straight towards you, chased by a menacing creature whose wingbeat echoes across the skies. This, you realize, is how your Atmosfar begins."

If your imagination is already churning, and you want to help us craft these kinds of experiences, come join us at Apog Labs! As our Environment Artist, you'll help create the physical space where the players experience Atmosfar through crafting beautiful natural biome content, sculpt and generate terrain and place props; making the world of planet Tycos come alive!
