I’m the project lead for WANTED, the Wild West Battle Royale game where you hunt the Wanted player until there’s only one left standing at high noon.
About the Project
I saved for a couple of years to self fund the production of a game prototype to bring to Kickstarter. We are now five months into development and things are going great. We have created weapons, characters, clothing, and a simple backend setup with uworks to connect 100 players to a dedicated server in Google cloud.
We have a team of 20 people in art, coding, and marketing from the US and EU. I believe very strongly that the features Wanted will bring to the BR genre will set us apart so I’m spending all of the money I make from my day job as an IT Project Manager on Wanted. With as many people on the team as we have, my resources are limited until we launch a Kickstarter or get funding from some other source. I still run everything as organized as possible which is very important for a remote team.
We have a weekly team meeting at 5PM UTC / 1PM EST.
We use HacknPlan for task management.
My primary goal with Wanted is to assemble a team of skilled and reliable people that work well together to launch Wanted and future projects.
About the Job
Experience with C++ with Unreal Engine is required.
I’m looking for someone to join the programming team to assist with the following:
- Help determine which Backend Service is best for Wanted. (GameSpark, PlayFab, etc.)
- Persistent player cosmetic inventory in customization menu
- Steam economy integration with player cosmetic inventory
- Discord integration
- Autoscaling
- Matchmaking
- Proximity voice chat (Vivox, plugins, etc.)
