Crossing Worlds Entertainment is looking to hire a Unreal Gameplay Programmer to work on their project “StoneSoldiers”.

We are an independent studio of graduates and students looking to carve our own path into the video game industry through our debut title, a turn-based strategy game where players will build armies of warriors, mages, and magical constructs to face against an opponent in objective-based battle scenarios. This game focuses on strategy from the outset, starting at the army that a player builds before the battle and the tactics they implement on the battlefield.

We are looking for an Unreal Gameplay Programmer to take our project past its initial prototype to the next phase of development. You will be responsible for adding and expanding mechanics to the project, including implementing character abilities, game rules, combat interactions, UI functionality, and moment-to-moment gameplay systems.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Implement gameplay features defined in the Game Design Document (GDD) and expand the Tech Design Document (TDD)
• Collaborate with Designers to prototype and iterate on mechanics
• Maintain clean, scalable, and well-documented code architecture
• Connect game systems to UI elements, animations, and assets
• Optimize systems for performance and maintainability
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical documentation
