We’re currently working on a cooking-themed, semi-open world multiplayer game, built with care to offer players rich co-op gameplay and dynamic environments. Our international team values originality, collaboration, and pushing creative boundaries, always aiming to deliver games that feel fresh, meaningful, and fun.

If you’re excited to build something new from the ground up and love combining creativity with hands-on production, we’d love to hear from you!

Note: This is a revenue share position ; compensation will be based on revenue sharing, rather than an upfront salary.

Job Description:

As a 3D Animator , you will bring our characters, NPCs, vehicles, and world to life through expressive and polished animation. From stylized cooking actions to dynamic multiplayer interactions, your animations will play a key role in creating immersion and fun.

You’ll collaborate closely with 3D Artists, Technical Artists, and Developers to ensure animations feel fluid, optimized, and well-integrated inside Unity. Your work will directly shape the player experience in a vibrant, semi-realistic stylized world.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create high-quality character and NPC animations (gameplay, cinematic, and ambient).
  • Animate unique cooking actions (chopping, frying, mixing, serving) with personality and clarity.
  • Implement animations inside Unity using Mecanim/Animator Controllers.
  • Work with rigged 3D models and adjust rigs if necessary.
  • Ensure animations are responsive, looping cleanly, and optimized for multiplayer.
  • Collaborate with Technical Artists to polish blending, IK, and transitions.

Qualifications:

  • Proven experience as a 3D Animator (indie or professional projects).
  • Strong knowledge of animation principles (timing, weight, anticipation, squash & stretch).
  • Proficiency in Maya, Blender, or equivalent 3D animation tools.
  • Experience with character rigging and skinning workflows.
  • Understanding of Unity’s Animator and animation pipeline.
  • Ability to collaborate across departments (art, design, code).

Nice To Have

  • Experience animating stylized or semi-realistic characters, props or vehicles.
  • Familiarity with multiplayer or co-op gameplay animation requirements.
  • Experience with facial animation or lip sync.

What We Offer?

  • A creative, international, and collaborative remote team.
  • Flexible working hours and fully remote work.
  • Join as a core team member and earn a share of the game’s revenue, your contribution directly shapes your reward.
  • Access to free masterclasses and mentoring sessions from industry veterans, helping the whole team grow together.
