I'm in the process of working on funding for a new studio. I'm more than happy to discuss the studio's goals and standards with you if you'd like that before signing on. Having a proof-of-concept for the first project will make the grant/seeding process much easier. I'm looking for a developer to work on this POC with me. That developer will also become the first employee of the studio. We can discuss salary expectations before you agree to help but be aware that until the POC is done and the project/studio gets funded, there isn't any money.
For the sake of the project, this developer will need to be comfortable with (or very ready to quickly learn):
1. Unreal 3D development (1st and 3rd person, and also top-down 3rd person)
2. Multiplayer backend concepts (P2P and server setup)
3. NPC AI (even in multiplayer mode, there will be NPCs that act on their own)
I'm handling design and balance, and I plan on working with Unreal assets from the asset store for the sake of the POC. Once funded, I intend on either hiring a 3D artist, or commissioning what I'm looking for from there. Please note, I'm not looking for that just yet.
If you're interested in this kind of development, message me on Discord. Having a portfolio, or an example of your capabilities in the above aspects is very helpful. Thank you very much!
