Overview

Arc Forge is developing a 4-player coop PVE FPS horror/action game for PC in Unreal Engine 5.6 in the likes of Left 4 Dead and Vermintide series set in Canada.

Role Description

• Contract position for an animator
• Will be required to make first-person and third-person (full body) perspective animations for playable characters, as well as full body animations for the monsters. Must be comfortable with a different rig for both setups and adjusting or creating animations that work with the perspective they are in.
• Strong emphasis on tactical, realistic, grounded first-person animations with a strong sense of how these animations communicate information to the player. Required areas will be firearms, melee weapons, and general player interactions.

Qualifications

• Must have a portfolio that showcases animation work in game development. Please ensure this is included in your response. Candidates with FP animations will be prioritized.
• Experience with rigging would be beneficial, given how tightly coupled these requirements will be to the rig for the model. If not, must be able to provide a breakdown of what rig setup they will need for the animation work.
• Work or knowledge in relevant genres (FPS, horror, action, multiplayer) is highly valued.
• Must be able to parse game design requirements into the requisite animations.
• Strong communication skills with an eye on iteration and exploration.
• Knowledge of Unreal Engine is beneficial, but not required.
• Experience in industry standard software.
