I’m building a cross-platform game—mobile, PC, and console—where every character’s power comes from what’s on their head. Beanies shoot frost, fedoras bend shadows, headbands unleash sonic waves; I already have a long catalogue of hat types and abilities sketched out. What I need now is a playable prototype that shows off the core loop: pick a hat, jump into a vibrant cartoon-style arena, and trade blows using each hat’s unique move set. That means tight, responsive fighting mechanics, exaggerated VFX, and arenas that feel alive yet run smoothly on all three target platforms. I’m looking for collaborators who can: • Script real-time combat logic in a way that keeps animations, hit-boxes, and cooldowns perfectly in sync. • Model, rig, and animate whimsical characters and hats so their powers read instantly on screen. • Build colorful, optimized arenas with plenty of verticality and interactive set pieces. Acceptance criteria for the first milestone: 1. One arena, two fully functional hat classes, and local 1-v-1 play. 2. Cartoon-quality shaders and VFX that make each power pop. 3. Stable builds exported for mobile (Android or iOS), PC, and one console dev kit of your choice. If your skill set covers scripting, art, or level design—and you love the idea of magic head-gear battles—let’s create something unforgettable.

I'm excited to help bring your game Headwear Mayhem to life! As a seasoned video editor and motion graphics artist with experience in 3D animation and design, I can assist you in creating engaging visuals and animations for your game. My strengths include 2D animation, 3D animation, and 3D design, which I believe are highly relevant to this project. While my primary expertise lies in video editing, my experience working with motion graphics has given me a solid understanding of visual effects and character animation. To approach the first milestone, I would suggest breaking down the tasks into smaller components, focusing on creating high-quality assets for the two hat classes, arena, and animations. We can work together to script real-time combat logic and build colorful arenas that meet your requirements. If you're interested in discussing this project further, feel free to accept my bid or message me through Freelancer's chat feature. I'm looking forward to collaborating with you!

Hi, I can deliver a vibrant and engaging prototype that captures the essence of your game concept. With extensive experience in real-time combat mechanics and cross-platform development, I will ensure that the animations, hit boxes, and cooldowns are perfectly synced for a seamless gameplay experience.

I will also focus on creating eye-catching VFX and cartoon-quality shaders that make each hat’s unique abilities stand out. To kick off, I’d love to confirm your preferred console for development and any specific art styles you have in mind for the characters and arenas.
