Square Enix recently updated their job opportunities in the career section of their website, and some of these new listings are for positions on the Osaka team of Square Enix Business Division 3, which is the team currently working on Kingdom Hearts III. We previously reported on the majority of the listings found on the site, but four new positions on the Kingdom Hearts team have opened up. The titles of the positions and brief descriptions of the jobs are listed below, thanks to R Kane.
Assistant Director: Responsible for planning, administration, and management assistance on BD3's new and/or existing projects.
Effect Designer: Duties include effect creation using the company's customized version of Unreal Engine 4.
Production Planner: Duties include camera and production work during explanations of maps, the game player's skills; introductions, advancement, and completion of missions and battles.
Lighting Artist: Duties include working on KH3's lighting and general post-production.
Interesting to note is the role of the Lighting Artist, which hints at a role in post-production. For those who don't know, post-production usually implies the final stages of the development process, which are used to polish and tweak minor things before development ends. Major thanks goes to KH13 user SnowPint7Fourths for the tip!
Based on these new job openings, how far along do you think Kingdom Hearts III is? Let us know in the comments below!
