We are looking for a remote animator for our mobile game design team. This is a paid position in a professional and established work environment. Our design team has produced animations for some of the world's leading brands for over a decade. We are looking for an expert in Spine animation software. This position will begin with a few hours per week, but the right candidate will move to full time very quickly if not immediately. We need you available and online in our team backend between 9AM and 4PM EST (US) timezone. The position requires strong experience in mobile game art such as animation and typical 2d art workflow as you will be working with an design and development team coordinators with each project. Strong experience in Spine is mandatory, so speed and familiarity with the software is essential. This is a faced paced environment. The right candidate will be comfortable in this environment. The right candidate will have the potential to remain with us as a career, as many already have. Ideally we are looking for an animator who is comfortable creating animations for humanoid, non-humanoid, and VFX style animations. Our animations needs will vary from project to project on a daily basis. Our design team will prepare static assets and animation requests, and they will be handed to you for fast turnaround animations. Generally you will be working on several different projects concurrently, so being able to shift at a moment's notice from one project to another is essential. This is a high volume, fast paced position. Being able to envision the animation we are producing for a game is also essential. While our design team will provide you with a basic understanding of the animation such as "enemyHitFire: played when the enemy combatant is hit with a fire effect ranged spell", we expect the animator to be able to envision what they also can add to the animation to bring it to life. Creativity and added touches are a strong motivation factor for hire. Finally, because we often find ourselves creating full mini-games from concept sketches and discussions, we are in constant contact with the artist to explain the project when it begins and perform revision work. You must be able to understand English and communicate quickly without difficulty. Below are some of the things we will be wondering about (NOTE, we have training available for some areas such as 2D animation prep): 1.) How comfortable are you with Spine? 2.) How familiar are you with Photoshop techniques and environment? Can you adjust sprite delivery quickly to fit animation needs? 3.) Are you comfortable and experienced with game art, sprite sheets, and overall production flow? 4.) Are you imaginative or prefer working with very strict references and detailed animation descriptions? 5.) Can you animate without the use of IK and Mesh in your animations? If you are interested in the position, please email "careers" at "grimpanda.com" with your hourly salary requirements, portfolio links or examples of work, and best method of chat (Skype etc). Candidates who meet our requirements will be contacted via chat (text only, no worries about Covid hair!) to further discuss the position. These positions will be filled very quickly! Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!

We are looking for a remote artist for our mobile game design team. This is a paid position in a professional and established work environment. Our design team has produced art for some of the world's leading brands for over a decade. Art styles range from concept/painted styles to 'pop' vector. This position will start with a few hours per week, but the proper candidate should be ready to move to full time if they are meeting requirements. We need you available and online in our team backend between 9AM and 4PM EST (US) timezone. The position requires strong experience in mobile game art such as animation and typical 2d art workflow as you will be working with animation and development team coordinators with each project. Strong experience in Photoshop CC+ is mandatory, so speed and familiarity with the software is essential. This is a faced paced environment. The right candidate will be comfortable in this environment. The right candidate will have the potential to remain with us as a career, as many already have. Ideally we are looking for an artist who can switch between vector and realistic art styles, but a strong candidate in only one area will be considered. Experience in 3D applications and rendering workflow a plus! Sometimes we may need to render pre-created 3D models into 2D sprites for animating in software. We are looking for an artist who is passionate about creating art and have their own ideas in parallel to the direction our staff will provide. For example, if we show you a mockup of a project, we would like your mind to instantly jump to ideas that you would like to see in that environment, and be a part of the creative process alongside us. We do not want someone who will only follow a sprite list, and contribute nothing else. We are looking for a creative team member. The correct candidate must be able to produce very high quality art for our clients, and quickly. The work you will be involved with are very fast turnaround mini-games, meaning from concept sketches to finished product is usually performed in only a few days. That means we need rapid designs that are approved quickly, and iterative updates while the development team begin to include them in the project. While the games are small, the work is very fast paced, but our online team environments make communication and sharing very easy. Finally, because we often find ourselves creating full mini-games from concept sketches and discussions, we are in constant contact with the artist to explain the project when it begins and perform revision work. You must be able to understand English and communicate quickly without difficulty. Below are some of the things we will be wondering about (NOTE, we have training available for some areas such as 2D animation prep): 1.) How comfortable are you with understanding 2D animation? (Prepping game sprites to be animated, piece exports etc.) 2.) How familiar are you with Photoshop techniques and environment? 3.) Are you comfortable and experienced with game art, sprite sheets, and overall production flow? 4.) Are you imaginative or do you only work off of sprite lists? (For example: We need a little house and yard drawn. Do you suggest/add a little tree with a rope and tire swing? Or we get exactly what we ask for on the list, no less/no more? 5.) How comfortable are you with both vector and realistic, traditional style art? (both is a bonus, but not required! We will consider an expert in either!) If you are interested in the position, please email "careers" at "grimpanda.com" with your hourly salary requirements, portfolio links or examples of work, and best method of chat (Skype etc). Candidates who meet our requirements will be contacted via chat (text only, no worries about Covid hair!) to further discuss the position. These positions will be filled very quickly!

having a problem with the collisionbox for the moving platform it moves but does not change the size to be the size of the image, its the size of the area then the platform has to move through(left to right) here is the image with the hitbox bounds on now here is the code don't know why its not doing what it should do /*---------------- floating Plataform ----------------- */ game.movingPlatforms = me.Entity.extend({ init: function(x, y, settings) { // define this here instead of tiled settings.image = "platform_2"; //values from tiled on the size of the area to move within var area_width = settings.width; var area_height = settings.height;; //sprite area settings.width = settings.framewidth = 64; settings.height = settings.frameheight = 32; this._super(me.Entity, 'init', [x, y , settings]); this.body.collisionType = me.collision.types.WORLD_SHAPE; this.body.setCollisionMask(me.collision.types.WORLD_SHAPE | me.collision.types.PLAYER_OBJECT); // set start/end position based on the initial area size initial_start_pos_x = this.pos.x; this.startX = initial_start_pos_x; this.endX = this.startX + area_width - settings.framewidth;; this.pos.x = this.startX + area_width; // manually update the entity bounds as we manually change the position this.updateBounds(); // to remember which side we were walking this.walkLeft = false; this.alwaysUpdate = true; // velocity this.body.setVelocity(2, 5); }, update : function (dt) { this.body.gravity = 0; if (this.walkLeft && this.pos.x <= this.startX) { this.walkLeft = false; } else if (!this.walkLeft && this.pos.x >= this.endX) { this.walkLeft = true; } // make it walk //this.renderable.flipX(this.walkLeft); this.body.vel.x += (this.walkLeft) ? -this.body.accel.x * me.timer.tick : this.body.accel.x * me.timer.tick; // update the body movement this.body.update(dt); // handle collisions against other shapes me.collision.check(this); // return true if we moved or if the renderable was updated return (this._super(me.Entity, 'update', [dt]) || this.body.vel.x !== 0 || this.body.vel.y !== 0); } }); have not a clue as to why the collision box is not the right size

The project I am working in is a multiplayer node.js game using socket.io to communicate where the renderer will be node.js. In order to correctly import my dependencies to the browser i am using browserify. I am trying to use the Entity-Component architecture to design my game and in doin g so wanted to have a "render component" on each game object. The problem is that I cannot use PIXI code on the server side of node.js This is something what i wanted my architecture to look like. A GameObject with multiple components (ex: PhysicsComponent, RenderComponent) in order to follow the Entity-Component architecture and design this game well. In my eyes the code should be able to run on the server and the client so that way the server can be authoritative in the state of the game. The problem is that PIXI code cannot be run on the server side of node.js because a window object is not defined. So here is the question : How am I intended to write gameObject rendering Code using Pixi.js? Is it supposed to be purely client side, and if so how am I supposed to handle GameObject specific rendering and such? I have been searching for several days and can find no answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am designing a game and I am currently thinking of how to convey emotions, meaning, goals, intent and purpose. I find text to be the easy and lazy choice when it comes to make the user understand something. Is it possible to tell a compelling story, convey the emotions of the protagonist as well as of the other NPCs without the use of any in-game text? If so, what are some good examples and some bad ones in your opinion?

Hello! On free time, I'm trying to make a Soccer (Football) game with RTS mechanics. The idea came through while I was playing Clash Royale, and I love some RTS elements like top-down / isometric view and watch the character IA change the environment interacting with each other. The project is shared here: https://github.com/alessandronunes/soccerpunch/ I know I have to adjust the velocities and make better IA, but I'm a little stuck here, so I would like to listen to some opinion: what would you do to make of this a (good) game? Thank you!

Hello! In my job i am programming database tools, but i never had s.th. to do with game development. I know about some basic game concepts like Game-Loops with global variables, but never had asked myself how-to realize the graphics in a 2D-Game with some small game physic features. So i made a small game concept (see attachment). 1) I want to have a beer throughing person, that throughs a beer with speed dependend on how long a button was clicked. 2) When the button is released the arm of the person moves and throughs the beer to the right side. 3.) During the beer flies, the camera follows the beer (see Scrolling are in the game concept). 4.) In the last step, the beer falls down to a trampoline, and kips directly into the mouth of a beer drinker on the right side if the speed was correct So my first question is about how to realize the graphics: 1.) How should i realize the character and background graphics? 2.) I want that the beer runs out of the glas during it kips in the last area. Is there a special trick to make such water-like animation? 3.) Should i use different layers for the characters? I hope i can get some hints from experienced developers and sorry for my newbee questions. With best regards, Bjoern
