Makea Games is looking to appoint an animator intern to level up their skills while working with us. You will be considered an integral part of our team and receive daily mentoring and guidance related to all areas of your work.

As a 3D animator intern, you’ll be working closely with the art and code teams at Makea Games to provide realistic humanoid character animations for our characters. The focus will be in short and emotional animations – you will not be doing work related to mocap. If selected during the application process, you will be given an animation test where we want to see your own personal style. Our character rigs are on Unreal Engine 5 and on the Epic Skeleton. The internship will be fixed-period, lasting 5 months. The internship is paid. We aim to get you started during November.

We’re a game studio that works in a curious yet collaborative way – by creating tools to create games, then giving those tools to the players as well. Each of our title is a showcase of what you can do with the tools as well as being a fun game.

Our first title – Supermoves – is an exciting action sports videogame inspired by games like “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater”, “Mirror’s Edge” & “Fall Guys”. It is a massively multiplayer parkour world where players face each other in competition and pull off outrageous parkour supermoves. Players can make their own levels and challenges together in the powerful Makea Editor that allows anyone to make anything with just their controllers!

Makea Games gives you the tools to make games. Just bring your imagination.
