Description:
Independent fantasy sandbox / survival / action RPG project in Unreal Engine.
A multiplayer survival/action RPG template and licensed fantasy asset packs are already in place. Looking for an experienced Unreal developer to help customize the project into a polished playable prototype.
This is not a from-scratch build. The priority is to work within the existing framework, adapt content, clean up stock/template elements, and preserve useful systems such as multiplayer, inventory/equipment, item interaction, building/placement, and save/persistence.
The project is currently in prototype / pre-production. Additional details can be shared with shortlisted candidates.
First milestone is focused on:
- reviewing the current template and identifying the fastest clean path forward
- integrating and adapting licensed fantasy characters, items, and environment content
- replacing or refitting stock/template content so the game begins to feel like its own project
- preserving and adapting useful existing systems such as multiplayer, inventory/equipment, item interaction, building/placement, and save/persistence
- disabling, simplifying, or cleaning up systems/content not needed for the first playable milestone
- delivering a strong, maintainable playable prototype foundation
Team Structure:
Independent project owner / creator
Creative direction, design direction, worldbuilding, lore, quest writing, asset acquisition, and production oversight.

Expected work:
