Gameplay Designer

Giant Sparrow is seeking a Gameplay Programmer to collaborate with designers, transforming prototypes into robust gameplay experiences. The role involves creating gameplay that evokes a sense of life, focusing on intimate and strange moments. The programmer will work on both rapid prototyping and polished systems, enjoying the flexibility of building things fast and building them right. Responsibilities include collaborating on prototypes, refactoring them into flexible systems, and building player movement, camera, and physics-based gameplay.

<div class="page-body"> <h1>Gameplay Programmer</h1> We're looking for a programmer who can collaborate with designers to transform clunky-but-interesting prototypes into robust and delightful gameplay experiences. Our <a href="http://giantsparrow.com/games/heron/">new game</a> is about a field biologist interacting with urban wildlife and has gameplay that focuses on evoking a sense of life. We're trying to create moments that feel squishy, intimate, and strange. Like <a href="https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/leech-slithers-over-a-human-hand-and-falls-off-stock-video-footage/1181133052">a worm crawling on a hand</a> or this <a href="https://youtu.be/nYT5096Fbkc">reference video</a> but with more of a Jim Henson vibe. Making gameplay that feels alive takes a lot of exploration so you'll need to be comfortable working on a mix of throwaway prototypes and tightly polished systems. In other words, sometimes you'll need to build things fast and sometimes you'll need to build them "right." Hopefully you can enjoy working in both styles.  <div class="job-requirements"> What you'll do here <ul> <li>Collaborate with our Gameplay Designer to build and refine gameplay prototypes</li> <li>Refactor one-off prototypes into flexible systems we can use throughout the game</li> <li>Build player movement and camera systems</li> <li>Build physics-based gameplay</li> </ul> Must haves <ul> <li>4+ years of experience as a professional game developer</li> <li>Strong technical background in C++</li> <li>Comfortable with vector math and basic physics</li> </ul> Nice to haves <ul> <li>Experience with Unreal</li> <li>An interest in science and biology</li> <li>An interest in procedural animation</li> <li>An interest in AI behavior and flocking systems</li> </ul> </div> This role could be fully remote or you can join us in Los Angeles if you'd like. If you think you'd be a good fit, please <a href="https://forms.gle/YsFXMucmCFbumJDz6">contact us</a>. <img src="caterpillar.jpg" style="width:500px;height:326px;text-align:left;"> </div>
