3D Animator

Sassy Chap Games is looking to hire quite an animator/rigger with a kick-ass attitude! Is this you? Read on!

What’s the deal with Sassy Chap Games? You don’t even have a website!

It’s true, we haven’t gotten that done just yet, but we have put 4 years of blood, sweat, and pixels into this intensely narrative-driven game so far, and we finally got the funding that we need to take this bad boy all the way to launch!

But as for us founders, we are three industry veteran voice actors who have used our wisdom to surround ourselves with the best indie devs around! Perhaps you know who we are from your favorite games?

(Pictured: voice actors and ne’er-do-wells Robbie Daymond, Max Mittelman, and Ray Chase)

Cool, can you tell me about the game?

Unfortunately not on this job posting, but we’d be happy to share more once you sign an NDA! What we can say here is that it’s a very funny, mischievous, but also quite moving narrative-driven game. We have our systems built in Unity using the Ink language to help our writers parse out our branching paths.

Sounds vague to me! What skills are you looking for?

We need someone who is:

• able to skin and rig lower poly, stylised human playable character meshes with multiple outfits
• knowledge of character modeling (to work with and advise 3D modeler)
• movement and interaction animations (walk, sit, open door, pick up item, etc)
• basic body emote animations (clapping, laughing, crying)
• working with Unity - working in Maya, 3ds Max and/or Blender

Availability-wise - we are offering a part-time position over the next 6 months to work with our 3d modeler on creating a liveable space that our player character can walk around in, and interact with all the objects available.

We are offering $40 an hour, remote from anywhere in the world.

This position is open to anyone who thinks they might fit the bill, regardless of industry experience, age, neurodivergence, gender, race, etc!

We want to hear from everybody - so please reach out to us via email with your resume, availability, and favorite object that’s on your desk right now!
