Vacancy: UE5 Developer

Work Location: Remote Employee Qualifications: Middle Employment Type: Part-time

Employer: COD GAME

IMPORTANT: Unpaid Platform: PC Project Genre: Stealth / Puzzle Horror

Project Description: We are an indie team developing an atmospheric first-person horror game set in an abandoned puppet theater. The gameplay combines exploration, stealth, environmental interaction, and puzzles.

The project is currently moving into the prototyping stage. Core game systems and project documentation are being formed, and a phased prototyping plan has been prepared. Concurrently, work is underway on the visual direction, characters, and environment.

Vacancy Description: We are looking for an Unreal Engine Developer who can join the creation of the gameplay prototype and work independently with game systems.

The immediate task is to implement the first gameplay prototype: basic enemy behavior, AI and player detection, reaction to events, pursuit, and attack. Following this, other systems will be gradually implemented.

Responsibilities:

• Implement game mechanics and systems;
• Work with AI and enemy behavior;
• Implement player interactions with objects and enemies;
• Analyze design requirements and translate them into technical implementation;
• Discuss debatable and technically costly solutions with the game designer, proposing more suitable implementation options;
• Participate in prototyping, testing, and subsequent iterations of systems;

What is important to us:

• Proficient in Unreal Engine;
• Blueprints and/or C++;
• Understanding of game mechanics and systems implementation principles;
• Experience with AI in Unreal Engine is desirable;
• Ability to independently understand a task and ask specific questions if requirements are insufficient;
• Ability to assess the technical feasibility of mechanics and propose alternatives if the initial solution is too costly or complex;
• Willingness to work in a team and collaborate with game design, 3D, animation, and other departments;
• Any completed prototype, game, game jam, or other example of your own work will be a big plus.
