Job Description

Free Range Games grows games the old fashioned way: we donโ€™t put our team in cages, we work distributedly, and we donโ€™t use toxic work/life trade-offs. Some of our crafters have worked together from PS1 to PS5 and will tell you about carving games one triangle at a time from punch cards.

We are some of the folk behind Spider-man, Tony Hawk, Lord of the Rings, Twitch Sings, Oddworld, Callisto Protocol, Shrek Super Slam, and dozens of mobile and web games. We believe every member of the team has a voice in what the game should be.

We prioritize community, family, and love-of-gaming over process, crunching, and TPS reports. And maybe thatโ€™s what you want too.

Free Range Games is looking for an engineer that has implemented the core mechanics of a goodย 3d action, fighting, or action sports title. Our unannounced title is based on deep, skill-based controls and next-gen animation - extreme action combined with combat. This is the forte of our studio, but this is a huge title, and we need someone who can own vital hero mechanics.

Responsibilities:

  • Bring together physics, animation, controls and camera into one elegant system.
  • Craft that system into gameplay gold.
  • Delegate features and feature breadth to other gameplay coders.
  • Work with animators to create buttery locomotion with anim blends and tertiary motion.
  • Work with design on variations to the core based on equipment and environments.
  • Work with character and animation tech to create animation logic.

Qualifications:

  • Comp Sci or Math degree.
  • 10+ years with a C variant.
  • Vector Math and Linear Algebra as first language.
  • Understand rigid body physics, constraints, joints.
  • Created animation logic and familiar with model animation tech.
  • Shipped console games as a primary gameplay coder on a game with melee combat.
