Game Developer

About the Role

A developer is required to design and build a 3D multiplayer horror game titled The Horror War, with both web and app functionality. The game will feature a dark-themed environment with customizable player characters, 5-slot inventory, a flashlight mechanic, and real-time voice chat. Three distinct AI-controlled monsters will be central to the gameplay, each with unique appearances and attack behaviors: one resembling an F16 that fires missiles with a red pre-attack indicator, a fast-moving monster resembling Flash that delivers melee punches, and a fire-wielding wizard casting ranged attacks. Players should have visible health bars and unique usernames. A functional main menu, server hosting for multiplayer sessions, and accurate damage mechanics (missile: 50 HP, punch: 3 HP, fire: 5 HP) must be implemented. This role offers flexibility for developers to propose solutions for integrating multiplayer and real-time communication features, with a targeted delivery in 2026.

• Ability to implement voice chat functionality and real-time multiplayer server hosting
• Knowledge of inventory systems, character customization, and UI elements such as health bars and main menus

• Ability to create a dark, immersive game environment with optimized performance
• Must be able to deliver a completed project by 2026
