Technical Animator job - Clevrer

Job description
Technical Animator

Company Overview:

We live in an exciting new time. All the tools to create are at our fingertips and more accessible than ever. We no longer need S-class production studios to create stunning work with our passion. The big-name studios increasingly create games that exploit the player base (and the devs/artists!) and water down mechanics.

Clevrer is an ambitious and innovative game development company working on an exciting PvP Arena project the likes of which will throw a wrench in competitive gaming. We are merging the best elements of our favorite MMORPG mechanics with a more accessible Arena fighter.

The Project:

This will be an up to one year project to create an MVP arena game for funding rounds. The project is narrowly focused on creating two complete playable character types in one environment in a 1v1 battle. Think of it as Elden Ring meets WoW Arena...

Development needs:

• Rig two characters
• Responsible for animation design and implementation
• Physics and cloth animation
• Optimization
  
  

Available Position:

Technical Animator

Requirements:

• Experience in Unreal Engine 5.
• Strong passion for gaming, PvP, and the fantasy/sci-fi genres.
• Strong understanding of animation principles
• Experience in designing and implementing animations
• Ability to work collaboratively and effectively communicate with cross-functional teams.
• Creative problem-solving skills and a proactive attitude toward challenges.
• Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to meet project deadlines.

Nice to have:

• Experience in designing "spell cast" animations specifically in Arena or other PvP genres.
• Knowledge of scripting languages such as Blueprint or C++ in Unreal Engine 5.
• VFX experience

After this project is complete:

If you choose to stay with the team, we will be adding:

• An elo system.
• A lobby system.
• Socialization features (lobby and game chat).
• Three additional character types.
• A character creation system.
• 15 additional classes (talent specializations).
• Additional arenas.
• Expanding team sizes to include 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 combat.
• Creation of a system of in-game rewards that can be used to level up your gear.
• Creation of a system to purchase cosmetic items for your characters.
• Eventually leading up to the creation of battlegrounds with 10v10/25v25 and if it takes off, even a massive army vs army with as many as 200+ player involvement.
• And much more…

Note:

While this is a volunteer-based project, we are working with a 30-year AAA Vet to structure this startup and have interested investors. We will also be submitting for crowdfunding. If we work hard and produce a quality product, this will become a long-term position.
