About the job

We're looking for a technically skilled and motivated Animator that lives and breathes games. You will be an essential part of a very small and passionate team.

About the game

The title you will be working on is a cooperative top-down action game with a dark fantasy setting.

You are humble, genuine and someone who puts the team above yourself.

You act responsibly under freedom and ask for help instead of hiding behind an ego. 

You are ready to be a fundamental part of a new studio.

You like to be deeply involved in the game you are making.

Responsibilities

You as an Animator will have, but are not limited to, the following responsibilities:

• Animating gameplay elements (Character move sets, Combat, AI etc.).
• Full animation pipeline, including rigging.

• You are fluent in animation blueprints and animation montages.
• You have proven experience with rigging.
• You are fluent in Swedish and English.
