Recently the City 17: Episode 1 team has been in search of an animator for our mod.
City 17: Episode 1 has now been in development for nearly 2 years and is reaching its release. As the mod has developed over the years, we've found ourselves needing more custom character and weapon animations to replace Half-Life 2's stock animations. As the mod is in the final stretch of development, we've decided to recruit an animator to start replacing those animations with higher quality ones.
Animators out there will find themselves joining a hard working team that is committed to releasing a quality project. Currently we use SVN to store all the mod files and a wiki to store important information about the mod for users to access easily. Benefits of joining our team include moral and loving support from your fellow team mates. There are also opportunities to continue working with Gear Development on future projects.
Below are a few screenshots of levels from the mod. Any media shown below is subject to change before release.
