We’re looking for a Game Systems Engineer for a short-term contract ($35/hr, 8-12 hrs/week, 4 months) to help us expand a 2D pixel-art cozy slice-of-life game with a queer story called Old and Gray.

 

Responsibilities

  • Work with the Studio Coordinator and design team to ensure they have the tools to integrate their work into Unity
  • Create systems for managing music (FMOD), and art content (Aesprite+Unity animations)
  • Create state management for managing animation transitions, object state, narrative state, and mechanics state
  • Refine camera management and scene transitions
  • Ensure game mechanics created by our Game Designer integrate with other systems
  • Manage the cloud build system (Unity Build Automation) and periodically create builds for the team

Much of this work involves improving on existing systems and tools created during our initial implementation of the game.

 

Skills Desired

  • Experience programming 2D games in Unity
  • Experience designing object-oriented systems for handling state management
  • Experience with or interest in learning FMOD and Aesprite integrations
  • Experience working with team members across different crafts like art, music, narrative, and game design
