Project Title:
Natural Balance: Chronicles

Description:
The principle work for this remote role will be to lead in the development of “front-end” systems for an indie isometric ActionRPG project. Types of tasks will include, but are not limited to, coding new abilities, adding enemies with different attacks, integrating maps into the persistent multiplayer map, expanding user-facing systems, working with the user interface, etc. Therefore a broad understanding of the Unreal Engine is needed.

Being a personally funded project, I have a stable, but fixed budget for this long-term position. In terms of work hours per month, it will depend on “Indie friendly” hourly rates. At present I cannot cover rates at $40+ USD per hour. Optimally this position would like to target approximately 60 - 80 work hours per month. However, I will consider fewer hours for the right candidate who is considering this position as a “side project”. Work times are flexible to support your needs, only having specific times to check in with project management as necessary.

Our current milestone is to implement the remaining core systems in order to make a polished demo that can be used to seek funding to take the project to the next level.

Bonus points if you work in Chile.

Talent Required:
An ideal candidate would be a professional, team player who has a passion for the isometric ARPG genre (e.g. the Diablo series), a genuine interest to grow this Indie project, and is reliable with an eye for detail.

SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS

  • Unreal Engine - 5 or more years of development, covering all non-art areas.
    • e.g. Gameplay, AI, Multiplayer, Animation, UI (CommonUI), Navigation, etc.
  • Works independently - You are reliable, needing little supervision / oversight, yet has no problem speaking up when there are problems or questions.
  • High attention to detail - Writes clean code / BPs; checks own work for issues.
  • Team experience - Previously worked for an established studio or business, preferably having shipped at least one title.
