Hello,
We are looking for a general developer for our VR game Plastic Battlegrounds which is a physics based sandbox battle simulator where you can make your imaginary childhood army men battles come to life by spawning toy soldiers, tanks, helicopters all of which are physically interactable by the player as they are either human sized or playing as a toy soldier yourself. As a toy soldier you can slide down zip lines, climb strings, pilot vehicles, use a variety of weapons like the M16, bazooka, M60, and tools like a grappling gun.
The majority of the MVP is done including a physics based player, helicopter, a variety of soldiers, but we need more content and UI elements before completing it for early access for the Meta Quest store.
