Hi all! I’m Jack, a solo dev at Hexbit Studios. I’m looking for a pixel art animator for Dungeography, a dungeon crawler for PC and Steam Deck.

The game: you play a Triple Triad style card duel against the Keeper. Every card placed becomes a room, and the finished board becomes the dungeon you then fight through in real time.

The work: characters for zone 1, a 32 px grid, top-down three-quarter view.

  • The hero: idle, walk, sword swing, bomb throw, hit, death
  • 3 to 4 enemies: walk and attack
  • 1 to 2 bosses with signature attacks

I handle the environments, props, UI and effects. Characters are where I need help.

Terms: paid, part-time and remote. $25 to $40 an hour or the per-frame equivalent, quoted per batch. You get credit in the game and on the store page, and more work in later zones if it’s a good fit.

Process: a portfolio call, then a small paid test, then an offer. The test includes the layered Aseprite files and a time-lapse of your process, because the game ships with hand-made art only.

Or email jack@hexbitstudios.com with your portfolio (animated characters up front), your rate and your availability. I reply to everyone.

Hello Jack. Your Dungeography project sounds exciting. I understand you're looking for a skilled pixel animator who can bring characters, enemies, and bosses to life with smooth, consistent animations while maintaining the 32px top-down perspective. Are you currently prioritizing the hero animations or enemy designs? Also, do you have a preferred animation style or frame count for each action?
