We are an indie studio developing Meme Wars, an innovative mobile 3D PvP arena fighter game that brings popular memes to life in a competitive arena. Players collect and battle with a diverse roster of meme-inspired characters, each with unique abilities and attacks. The game blends humor, strategy, and fast-paced action.

About the Game:

• Genre: 
  • 3D arena fighter with omni-directional movement (inspired by Smash Legends, Brawl Stars, Injustice, and Mortal Kombat)
• Modes:
  • Ranked Multiplayer with ELO
  • Offline Training Mode (bots with difficulty tiers)
• Combat Systems:
  • Status effects (e.g. Blood Loss, Stun, Poison)
  • Special & Super Attacks
  • Responsive movement, attack, block, dodge
• Progression:
  • Character leveling via currency
  • Gacha-style character unlocks
• Arenas:
  • Meme-inspired battle zones like chaotic streets of Ohio or peaceful Capybara lakes

What We Offer

• Remote Work & Time Freedom: We are a distributed team all working remotely and at different time zones to allow peak productivity.
• Limited Bureaucracy: No daily standup and constant checkups, we only require one meeting per week.
• Creative Freedom: Build something culturally unique and genuinely fun. The next big fighting game.
• Strong Team Culture: Work with experienced senior devs who also value collaboration and humor.

Position Overview

As a Technical Artist, you’ll work closely with animators, game-play engineers, and designers to implement and polish complex animation systems. This role bridges art and code, focusing on animation setup, optimization, rigging, and integration into Unity.

Core Responsibilities

• Set up, debug, and maintain Unity Animator controllers.
• Work with Mecanim to build advanced animation systems (state machines, blend trees, transitions).
• Implement multi-layered animation logic to handle movement, combat, and secondary actions.
• Integrate Inverse Kinematics (IK) to improve animation realism and responsiveness.
• Collaborate in Agile workflows and iterate based on team feedback.
• Ensure animations run smoothly and efficiently across mobile platforms.

Required Skills

• Unity Animation Systems: Proficiency in Unity Animator and Mecanim systems.
• State Machines & Blend Trees: Capable of managing complex, layered character animation logic.
• Inverse Kinematics (IK): Practical experience implementing IK systems for bipedal and quadriped characters.
• Multi-layered Animation Handling: Blending locomotion, combat, and secondary animations.
• Agile Development: Comfortable working in iterative sprints using Scrum or Kanban.
• Animation Principles: Deep understanding of timing, weight, spacing, and exaggeration for impactful animations.
• C# Familiarity: Able to read/understand runtime animation control and integrate logic.
• Optimization: Able to fine-tune animation setups for mobile performance.

Optional Skills (Not all required, but at least a few preferred)

• 3D Tool Experience: Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, or ZBrush.
• Git Workflow: Version control and asset handling in collaborative environments.
• 3D Modeling: Creating and importing optimized models for Unity.
• Shader Animation: Knowledge of animating via shaders for VFX or motion effects.
• VFX Integration: Particle systems, animated shaders, or environmental visual enhancements
• Procedural Animation: Familiarity with procedural workflows or animation packages.
• Basic Photon Quantum Knowledge: Understanding how animation sync works in deterministic multiplayer is a plus.
