[Unity][Remote][Hobby/Unpaid] Looking for - Gameplay Programmer job

Background

After the alpha release of Encyclopedia Explosica, as work piles up, a passionate gameplay developer is needed to help achieve the project's full vision to fruition. The project is moving down the planned features list and towards a full v.1 release.

Explosica is a multiplayer educational project that takes a ‘game-first’ approach. It's a full-fledged 3D action multiplayer game - enticing the user to choose it when aiming to relax, but uses educational techniques in its core gameplay loop - having the players use, practice, and gain knowledge during their playtime, without overwhelming them.

The current iteration takes place in a medieval naval combat scenario. The goal is to move further in both educational techniques, combat applications, world expansion, and not limit itself to the current setting alone.

The Role

The game is a one-man dev effort, and as tasks mount up, it's becoming a burden best shared. As a Gameplay Programmer for an indie project, the work will span all aspects of Unity development, from writing gameplay logic to creating editor tools. There'll be design work, adding new systems to the game, and charting the future of the project.

Please have:

It's an unpaid position, so requirements are lax, but nonetheless - exist.

• You know Unity well and have worked with it for a while
• Good C# Knowledge
• Experience working with multiplayer game systems, especially client / server scenarios (ideally Mirror or a similar equivalent)
• Modest Physics and Math foundation
• Understand git
• Strong communication skills

It will be very impressive if you've done any of the following:

• Have already shipped / released projects
• Have experience with optimization of 3D projects
• Have made Unity assets in the past
• Have worked with the EGS SDK

Reimbursement?

At the moment, the project is trying to gain traction and build itself up. Should a publisher and/or funding be secured, payment is definitely on the table. For the time being however, that is not possible.

Explosica is a passion project slowly growing in community and scale. Want to make a difference? Want to be able to put a released project to your name? Want to let me get 8 hours of sleep again? Get in touch, and let's make something great happen.
