Job Description

Overview

PERKS is hiring a Unity Developer/Designer or small Unity team for a short-term contract to build out a single level of a VR game as part of a "metaverse" campaign for our in-person event.

Concept/Game type:

We are hoping for a twist on a classic zombie shooter, but are open to a more constrained shooting gallery with a twist, if that's more realistic.

Timing/Scope:

4-5 weeks for an MVP, but we have an additional month for polishing up a final version with all the bells and whistles attached.

Platform:

We're open to discuss potential platforms, but are leaning away from WebVR and more towards a Quest 2 sandbox with 4 headsets onsite.

Must-haves:

-the first level of a VR game

-a mix of objects/assets acquired through the unity Asset store and custom/edited objects

Nice-to-haves:

-visually-impressive VR moments or animations, to be discussed based on gameplay

We are early on in the process but need to move QUICKLY. All ideas are on the table for discussion, but we must work together to select the best ones that fit the timing and budget ASAP.

If this project is successful, we intend to increase the budget and add additional timing to build out a second level later in the year.

Skills for Success

• Strong background in Unity Development and crafting games from scratch
• Strong background in 3D animation and design with object/character modeling
• A proven track record for taking projects from conception through execution
• Self-organization skills and proactive time management, with a strong work ethic
• A good sense of humor :)
