I’m building Gatherlight, a cozy voxel game about healing an island of environmental trauma while crafting a beautiful life there.  I need an animator who can bring a cast of animals and spooky creatures to life. Hoping for charming, efficient, and reliable animations that feel warm and organic, cozy, alive, and grounded.

What I’m looking for:

• Ability to take voxel models (created in Blockbench) and rig/animate them for Unity.
• Simple, charming animation style — think Minecraft creatures, but with a bit more personality and polish.
• Comfortable creating loops (idle, walk/run, eat/graze, sleep) as well as simple one-offs (jump, react to player, etc.).
• Export-ready for Unity’s Animator system.
• Strong communication and collaborative approach.

What I’ll provide:

• All models in Blockbench format with textures.
• Creative direction, style references, and animation lists.
• Modest up-front payment, plus a clear revenue share plan to double your pay if the game sells some.

Some more about the game is available here: PlayGatherlight.com

Everyone is encouraged to apply, including women, queer, and BIPOC folks.
