We are  building what I believe could become the first fully integrated strategic + tactical American Revolution wargame ever made. 

The Glorious Cause is a hex-based, turn-based strategy game combining tactical battlefield combat with long-term campaign systems set during the War for Independence.

We recently launched on a demo Steam and within approximately 24 hours received over 200 wishlists. The game has continued to grow steadily and momentum is building.

Our goal is to reach Early Access ahead of Steam’s 250th Anniversary celebration of the American Revolution in July, positioning the game as one of the few  American Revolution  strategy titles on the platform.

The project currently features:

* Never before done special effects that immerses players into the warfare of The American Revolution
* Historically accurate Order of Battle systems
* Mechanics such as realistic morale, organization, and health that determines your armies ability to fight on the battlefield.
* Special effects like Smoke filling up the battlefield causing the player to constantly evolve their strategy
* An Advanced AI System that develops strategic strategies on how to win battles and flank the enemies units.
* An advanced Fog of war system and line of sight systems unlike anything done before
* And Battles that expand over numerous days and large swaths of the country so players can develop a immense number of strategies to win The American Revolution.

We are now seeking a dedicated 3D Artist who is proficient in Blender or similar program to join the project under a structured revenue share model with ownership participation and design input.

This is not a short-term contract role. This is a long-term creative partnership opportunity.

# What We Need

Hex-Based Terrain (Blender, optimized for 2.5D workflow)

* 18th-century buildings (farmhouses, taverns, colonial structures, churches, barns) 
* Snow terrain hexes Snow + forest hexes 
* Stream hexes 
* River hexes 
* Seasonal variations (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) 
* Terrain readability for strategy gameplay

Units & Models

• Modify existing 3D units  
• Create new American Revolution-era units:

* Militia
* Continental Infantry
* Riflemen
* British Light Infantry
* Artillery crews and cannons
* Dragoons
* Cavalry
* Officers / Commanders

Animations & Effects

• Musket fire animations  
• Cannon discharge  
• Muzzle flash and smoke effects  
• Projectile impact visuals  
• Hit reactions

The style direction is grounded, more realism focused, and historically respectful, not cartoonish, not hyper-realistic, but immersive and tactical.

# Who We’re Looking For

• Strong Blender or similar 3D application experience  
• Understanding of low-to-mid poly optimization for game engines  
• Experience exporting to Godot (or willingness to learn)  
• Passion for strategy games  
• Interest in history, deep interest in The American Revolution is a major plus

We are especially interested in someone who understands that visual clarity in a hex-based strategy game is just as important as artistic beauty.

# Compensation

Structured revenue share model.

We are open to:

• Revenue percentage participation  
• Ownership stake in the game  
• Long-term collaboration over multiple updates

This is not a “quick asset pack” job. We are looking for someone who wants to help build a serious historical strategy title and shape its visual identity.

Formal agreement with vesting structure will be implemented to protect all parties.

# What I Handle

• Game design and historical research  
• Roadmap planning  
• Steam presence and marketing  
• Social media growth  
• Financial management  
• Production coordination

We also have a programmer who is currently working on the next iteration, which will be our first public release.

If interested, please message with:

• Blender or similar #d application portfolio  
• Examples of game models  
• Experience with animation and VFX  
• Weekly availability  
• Your thoughts on revenue share / ownership

Let’s build something that stands apart in the strategy genre and honors one of the most important conflicts in history.
