[CONTRACT] Unreal Developer for Fantasy Sandbox / Survival Action RPG

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.

Previous Work:
Independent project currently in prototype / pre-production phase.

  • experience with save / persistence systems

Expected work:

  • review the current template/project structure
  • identify what should be kept, simplified, removed, or customized
  • integrate and adapt licensed fantasy assets
  • help move the project away from stock-template feel and toward a custom fantasy game
  • deliver milestone-based progress on a clean playable prototype
