Game Developer – Remote

This role is for a UK-based Unity developer to deliver a mobile application for iOS and Android featuring a 2D animated character and seamless AI integration. The project centers on building a user-friendly app that incorporates pre-rigged Spine 2D animations, a simple and intuitive interface, and a chat system powered by an external AI API. The developer will be responsible for integrating provided character artwork and animations, constructing mobile-optimized UI screens (including home, settings, and a small shop), and implementing audio input/output functionality. Additional responsibilities include managing local app state (such as XP, energy, and purchased items), integrating rewarded ads and in-app subscriptions, and ensuring robust connectivity with a backend chat endpoint via REST API. The initial build is focused and does not require mini-games, but there is potential for ongoing monthly work to add features and improvements. All necessary assets and UI mockups will be supplied, and the ideal candidate will be able to deliver a polished, maintainable app and provide post-launch support.

• Integrate Spine 2D character rigs and animations into Unity for mobile platforms
• Develop and implement mobile-friendly UI screens (home, settings, shop) based on provided mockups

• Connect the app to an external AI-powered chat endpoint via REST API
