AxionStudioz is Looking for a 2D Character Rigger / Animator
About the Project
STREETZ is an original side-scrolling beat-'em-up brawler currently in development, blending street-art culture, a found-family narrative, and a corporate conspiracy antagonist. The game features a fully realized cast of six playable characters, five enemy tiers (including female variants), and five named bosses, all illustrated in a distinct pixel-art style with a signature chromatic-aberration glitch outline. Story, world structure, and art direction are fully locked, with a dedicated production roadmap already in place.
The Role
We're seeking a 2D Rigger / Character Animator to bring our existing character artwork to life in Unity. This role involves:
• Preparing finished character sprites for animation (splitting into parts, setting up clean layer structures)
• Rigging characters using Unity's 2D Animation package (or an equivalent workflow such as Spine, if preferred)
• Producing core animation cycles — run, idle, jump, attack, and hit-reaction — for our playable cast and enemy roster
No original character design or illustration work is required. All character art is complete; this role is focused specifically on rigging and motion.
What We're Offering
• Full credit as Animator/Rigger across all game materials and release credits
• A genuine portfolio piece — real, shipped work on a mobile title releasing on the Google Play Store
• Open discussion of a revenue-share arrangement should the project generate income post-launch
About the Team
AxionStudioz is a small, independent development team currently comprised of a creative director, writer, story/music producer, and consultant, with development supported by Unity and Claude Code. This is a flexible, passion-driven project — there are no fixed hours or rigid deadlines, and collaborators work at a pace that suits them.
