Hello! Dyscordion Entertainment is looking for a Unity Programmer to join our small team of developers working on Second Star - a first person adventure game set in a sci-fi universe 200 years in the future! This is a profit-share position and a great opportunity for a programmer who would like to gain experience on a large indie video game with a worldwide release.
We're a pretty fun, laid back but hardworking bunch that has been developing Second Star since March of 2019. We are a team of 12 made up of artists, writers, a sound designer, a composer, and one programmer. We are looking to add another programmer to the team to help us build our new UI.
Second Star is a sci-fi space adventure game with RPG elements. You play a scientist who is leading the search for a missing ship and her crew. We have a free demo out on Steam that you can try out and we are currently deep in development. The game is highly story-driven with a lot of cinematic moments. We often call it a crossover of Firewatch and Mass Effect.
Our team is very organized with no egos or personal drama. We welcome folks from all walks of life and we're fiercely passionate about the game we're building! We are looking for primarily a UI programmer but if that's just one of your many skills feel free to apply anyway!
The Role
- Attend weekly meetings with the team and take part in design sessions to understand specifications of features to be implemented
- Implement game functionality. We use Unity 2021 and Adventure Creator as our main framework.
- Implementing a UI from a set of designs from our artists
- Comfortable working with both internal and 3rd party assets
- Identifying and fixing bugs and performance issues
- Building game executables and patches
Requirements
- Previous experience on a Unity game - a portfolio or website with previous work is a big plus
- Unity UI building skills a must! We have a very pretty but rather complex UI that needs to be built to integrate with our gameplay systems.
- Excellent communication skills - we are a chatty but focused bunch and have a lot of passion for this game.
- Great attention to detail
- Ability to work the equivalent of 2 days a week on the game. Discord and a microphone is a must. Being a nice person is also a must.
Nice to Have
- Experience shipping a game (any platform)
- Console development experience
- Cute pictures of a pet (kidding but we do have a pets channel we love to post on)
