[LFW UNPAID] Raffaele Bratta - Senior game programmer

Community Got Skills? Looking for Talent? Looking For Work?
1

My name is Raffaele Bratta and I’m the game engine lead programmer at the Vae Victis studio.
This proprietary engine will be used for the upcoming game “Racecraft” and for the future company projects.
I have over 9 years of experience as a programmer, especially in the 3D graphics and VR fields, and I have spent 8 of them developing video games.

As a personal growth, I want to improve my skills learning how to develop games using the Unreal Engine.
To achieve this goal, I don’t just want to follow (boring) tutorials, but I want to develop a simple (read it again: simple) indie game.
For this reason, I’m looking for a small team (e.g. made up of a game designer, a programmer and a 3D artist) to join or to create from scratch.

Since developing this video game will be an off-the-job hobby, I cannot assure a continuous and constant commitment (and I don’t even require it from the other team members).
In a standard week, I can estimate between 6 and 10 hours I’ll be able to dedicate to this project.

Hi Raffaele Bratta/@TaaTT4,

[FONT=Arial Black]RaceCraft looks really impressive. I’ve always wanted to develop a game or two in the Racing genre, because I love them in the Arcades. But at home, I find myself gravitating towards FPS & RPG games…which has influenced my game dev over the years.

Have you work with any Procedural Generation with UE4? If so, what type? I’m also a huge fan of Procedural Generation. I’ve been developing solo, so I rely on it. I’ve been working with UE4 for ~2 years developing modular In-game Construction Apps to include some Proc Generation:

Perhaps what you’re looking for in regards to simple is not a game at all. I’m developing MonstaMASH, A Monster Creation App. MonstaMASH use some semi-proc generation methods to harness UnrealEngine’s Power to create Content. Once the basic editing features are in place, it would be reasonable to add rudimentary AI and Projectile Weapon Mechanics for 1 or 2 demo Game Modes like Mazes n’ Monsters & Labryinth Escape.
