Unreal Generalist - PT Freelance - Worldwide

BACKGROUND

We’re currently developing a game that has already completed several key elements: character models, animations, UI design and implementation, environmental design, and basic effects for abilities. These elements are solid, but they still need some refinement and polish to truly stand out.

TYPE OF GAME

A narrative-driven, single-player third-person RPG with a feel similar to Souls-like games.

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for an experienced Unreal Engine game developer/programmer to overhaul and polish existing systems for a vertical slice/demo. The ideal candidate will have the ability to lead and implement creative ideas to elevate the game, taking ownership of features and systems to enhance the overall experience.

WHAT WE NEED:

• System Refinement: Many of our current systems need polishing to feel more fluid and cohesive.
• Execution Improvements: Some features are either underdeveloped or poorly executed, and we need someone who can identify these issues and fix them.
• Feature Innovation: We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just follow directions, but takes charge and introduces fresh ideas to make the game better.

MUST HAVES:

• Extensive knowledge of Unreal Engine and the ability to implement a variety of systems within the engine.
• A creative eye with a strong sense of game design and development.
• Experience in implementing and improving systems for gameplay.
• Strong problem-solving skills to identify weak areas and create effective solutions.
• AI programming experience to enhance gameplay systems.
• Creative expertise to push the boundaries of the game’s design and features.

NICE TO HAVES:

• 3D modeling experience.
• Animation experience.
• UI/UX design experience.
• Environmental modeling skills.
• Familiarity with Blender.

WHERE WE’RE AT

At this stage of development, we're gearing up to start pitching our game to publisherswithin the next few months. Our goal is to secure funding to continue development, and we're looking for dedicated teammates who share our passion for creating story-driven video games. We're committed to fostering a positive work environment and pushing the boundaries of what current video games can achieve.
