I’m looking for a developer who can bring a single, highly detailed and expressive animation to life for a desktop application. You may use Python with Pygame or C/C++ (SDL, SFML, or similar) as long as the result runs smoothly on a standard desktop setup. Scope of this first engagement • Produce one polished animation loop or short sequence that mirrors the energy and nuance shown in my reference video. • Deliver a small demo window that plays the sequence at 60 fps. • Provide clean, well-commented source code and any sprite or frame assets so I can extend or swap elements later. Key points • Target platform: desktop application (Windows, macOS, or Linux—your choice, just note it). • Visual style: highly detailed and expressive; think nuanced motion, subtle timing, and appealing shading. • Keep the project lean—focus on quality within a single sequence rather than multiple scenes. Once I’m happy with this proof-of-concept, I plan to commission further animations in a follow-up project.
