We’re Higgs Studio, an indie studio building a dark, story-driven adventure horror puzzle game. Think haunting atmosphere, rich environmental storytelling, and mechanics that reward curiosity.
We’re looking for an experienced, talented and proactive Game Developer to help bring our vision to life. You'll work closely with our design / art team and award winning writer to develop core systems, puzzles, and gameplay features that shape how players experience the world.
🔧 What You’ll Be Doing
- Implementing gameplay features in Unreal
- Building puzzle logic, trigger systems, and interactions
- Collaborating with artists and designers to integrate assets and scenes
- Optimising performance across PC platforms
- Iterating on team / player feedback and helping shape the feel of the game
💡 You Might Be a Fit If You:
- Have 4+ years experience working with Unreal
- Have shipped (or built) at least one game or substantial prototype
- Enjoy working in small, creative teams
- Love storytelling through mechanics and lighting
- Are comfortable working independently and communicating in a remote environment
💬 How We Work
We keep things lean and async, but some structure helps.
You’ll need to:
- Join 3 team calls per week at a set time (Mon/Wed/Fri - 3/4pm BST)
- Communicate regularly via our Telegram group chat
- Be proactive with updates and feedback
We don’t micromanage, we just care about momentum and clear comms.
