Project Ava is a new indie IP published by 11bit studios, co-developed between Chibig (creators of Deiland and Summer in Mara) and Inverge (creators of Effie). We’re looking for a Technical Animator to join our small team and bring to life the characters that inhabit our worlds. We are considering on-site working options as well as full-time remote candidates.

What our Technical Animators do

• Work with the team leads to establish the animation aesthetic for the game.
• Create rigs for characters, creatures and props.
• Invent, build and implement ingame animations of compelling characters and creatures that are incredibly satisfying to play and exciting to watch.
• Work with the player controller, animation blend trees and node-based animation editors to achieve the perfect balance between animation fidelity and gameplay responsiveness.
• Help to implement, maintain, and debug animation systems and iteratively improve animation pipelines and tools.
• Work with producers to maintain good documentation and achievable milestones.
• Play the game regularly and continually identify opportunities to improve animation quality.

Who we are looking for

• Solid gameplay animation and implementation skills.
• Solid rigging and skinning skills.
• Practical knowledge and experience using animation packages (Blender) and core UE4 animation features.
• A self-motivated and organized individual who works well when left on his/her own.
• Experience with prototype/quick iteration environments.
• Ability to work well through iterations and incoming feedback.
• Passionate about playing and making video games.
