About Us
We’re Metis Creative, the independent studio behind Historica Arcanum and the upcoming Astra Arcanum. Our focus is building rich, story-driven experiences across both tabletop and digital games. Right now, we’re looking for a Senior 3D Animator to help bring our worlds — and the characters that inhabit them — to life.
What You’ll Do
Take the lead on the animation pipeline for characters, creatures, and cinematic sequences. Produce expressive, polished animations that give our stylized characters personality and weight. Work closely with designers, writers, and artists to create combat, cutscenes, and gameplay sequences that fit our dark, atmospheric settings. Contribute to setting and maintaining animation quality standards across the studio. Collaborate with tech artists and programmers to ensure seamless integration into the Unity pipeline.
What We’re Looking For
3+ years of hands-on experience in 3D animation for games (PC & console experience preferred). Comfortable working in English at an intermediate level or higher (we’re an international team). Solid expertise in Maya, Blender, or similar 3D animation software. Strong fundamentals in body mechanics, acting, timing, and weight. Experience with rigging and solving pipeline issues. Familiarity with Unity’s animation systems. A strong portfolio that shows both realistic and stylized animation work.
Bonus Points For
Experience with VFX, procedural animation, or physics-based systems. Previous work on tactical RPGs, survival horror, or dark fantasy projects.
Why Join Metis Creative?
Join a growing indie studio with ambitious projects across multiple formats. Collaborate with a close, international team of writers, artists, and developers. Contribute directly to the development of our original rogue-like tactical RPG. Competitive pay and flexible work arrangements (hybrid or remote).
