Hello,
We’re looking for a skilled UE 4.27 developer help us build AI for wheeled vehicles (e.g., Humvees, Jeeps) that can navigate complex, obstacle-filled environments in our VR sandbox toy soldier battle simulator “Plastic Battlegrounds”.
These vehicles need to be able to:
- Drive on unusual terrain (tight areas, ramps, dynamic obstacles)
- Turn around or reverse if stuck in a corner or dead-end
- Follow paths or pursue enemies with minimal issues. Soldier NPC’s, helicopters, tanks already exist in the game which the vehicle will need to be able to move toward or engage with. There are objectives that the vehicle will need to be able to reliably move to.
- Stretch goal: uses a turret-mounted weapon like a machine gun that can engage targets
Project Details:
- Project is built in UE 4.27, and is almost entirely Blueprint-based
- VR sandbox combat simulator with player-controlled and AI-controlled plastic soldiers and vehicles
- Needs to work well in chaotic sandbox environments where objects may be moved, destroyed, or spawned dynamically
- Should be optimized enough to operate in large numbers as this is a sandbox game where players can spawn however many they want alongside many other units
Check out Plastic Battlegrounds here:
Requirements/Needs:
- Experience working with wheeled vehicle movement AI in UE4
- Handling vehicle behavior that can operate in tight or unusual spaces
- Able to work in Blueprints (little to no C++)
- VR is optional for doing this contract but if you have VR you can play the game
If you’ve worked on vehicle AI, navigation logic, or turret behavior and enjoy making AI feel smart in unpredictable environments, let’s talk.
Please email simulatedmindsinc@gmail.com with examples of your work and why you think you be able to make the vehicle AI needed. Put “AI Wheeled Vehicle” in the subject so we know which role you are interested in. Thanks and looking forward to chatting with you.
