We are seeking a Creature (and Gameplay) Programmer to bring our creatures to life in a game centered around a field biologist interacting with diverse creatures. Responsibilities include leveraging animation, physics, AI, and gameplay programming to create unsettlingly realistic creatures. You will analyze animal movement and behavior, create robust systems responsive to player input (e.g., poking a creature), explore Unreal's procedural VFX systems (Niagara and Chaos), collaborate with designers on gameplay prototypes, and work with artists and animators on creature development and polishing. The ideal candidate possesses a strong background in C++, vector math, and basic physics, with experience in Unreal Engine being a plus. This role offers a blend of technical challenges and creative opportunities, allowing you to contribute significantly to the game's unique aesthetic and gameplay.
