Experience working on successful live Roblox games is highly desirable.

You may use external tools such as Blender, Photoshop or equivalent software as part of your workflow, but your experience must include creating and implementing VFX for Roblox.

We are not looking for artists whose experience is primarily in Unreal Engine, Unity or other non-Roblox engines without meaningful Roblox Studio experience.

Technical skill is important.

Artistic judgement is what separates good VFX artists from great ones.

A technically complicated effect is not automatically a good effect.

The best VFX communicate something instantly. They tell the player what happened, how important it was and how they should feel about it.

Timing, anticipation, impact, readability, colour, shape language, motion and restraint all matter.

We care about effects that make gameplay feel better, not effects that simply add more particles to the screen.

A great hit should feel satisfying.

A powerful ability should feel powerful.

A reward should feel rewarding.

A rare event should feel different from an ordinary one.

We're looking for artists who understand the difference.

In many cases, creating the right effect requires less complexity and better judgement.

VFX at Cinnamon isn't decoration added at the end of development.

It's part of the game design.

Effects need to work with animation, sound, UI and gameplay to create a coherent experience.

We're particularly interested in artists who think about why an effect exists, what information it communicates and how it contributes to the player's emotional response.

We want someone who can look at a mechanic that technically works and understand what needs to change to make it feel genuinely satisfying.

Most developers spend years working on a game before players ever see the results.

At Cinnamon, you'll see the impact of your work in months.

We move significantly faster than traditional AAA development, but that doesn't mean we compromise on quality. We believe Roblox deserves the same ambition, creativity and craftsmanship as any major gaming platform and we hold ourselves to that standard every day.

We've never relied on investors to build Cinnamon. The studio is funded by the success of the games we've already created. Our products have generated billions of visits and reached millions of players worldwide, allowing us to grow through the success of our own games rather than external funding.

Our goal is simple: build some of the best games on Roblox.

We're highly selective about who we work with because every individual directly influences the quality of what we create. If you're excited by the idea of creating effects seen by millions of players, working at an elite standard and seeing the results of your work far sooner than traditional game development allows, we'd love to hear from you.
