Looking for Unreal Gameplay Programmer – Technical Co-Founder for Narrative Prototype

Hi everyone,

I’m a non-technical founder working on a narrative-driven detective game prototype.

It’s a story-focused crime game about building a career under pressure, and how the small decisions you make every day quietly shape your identity.

I’m handling:

  • game design

  • narrative

  • core systems

  • product direction

I’m looking for a strong Unreal gameplay programmer to join as a technical co-founder to build a focused vertical slice:

Prototype scope:

  • 1 complete case (20–30 minutes)

  • third-person investigation

  • interrogation system

  • partner AI

  • a signature moral decision UI

This is a sweat-equity prototype (3–6 months unpaid) aimed at pitching publishers after the vertical slice.

If you’re interested in:

  • Unreal gameplay systems

  • narrative-heavy games

  • co-founding an ambitious but focused project

Feel free to reply here or DM me.

Thanks!
