I am working on an FPS Multiplayer game and would like my game to have real-world map/s. So far I already purchased an MFPS asset for Unity combined with Anti-Cheat Toolkit 2023, as well as a TerraWorld asset for the automatic generation of real-world maps.
Additional plugins for MFPS asset will be purchased as well...
When combined, these assets and plugins should already make up for 80% to 90% of what I would like the final product to look like.
You will be working on this project from scratch.
I will need you to put all these assets and plugins together, and add some additional in-game functionality, and design custom soldier uniforms that players will be able to choose from. Needless to say, I want to work with someone who has already worked on projects similar to this one. That being said, I do understand that not everyone is an expert at everything, so I would be open to splitting this work between game developer and game designer/artist.
I am not strict about delivery time, but I would like to have this project completed within a month or two. I am guessing that due to asset and plugin utilization, this should not be a problem. I would also potentially like to split the project into phases Show more details...

SENIOR WORLD BUILDER
Who We Are...
We are a team of diverse game makers driven by a passion for our art and inspired by a culture of inclusivity to build games that will thrill players everywhere. We are dedicated to crafting highly engaging entertainment with a commitment to putting fans first.
31st Union is the newest studio in the Take-Two Interactive family, founded in 2019 in the San Francisco Bay Area, and later expanding to include a studio in Valencia, Spain. We are well into our first effort of building a multiplayer / multiplatform AAA action game and we are looking for a Senior World Builder to help us accomplish that goal.
Who You Are:
You're an experienced World Builder with 2-3 shipped titles under your belt. You're comfortable building map content off an established template, but you're also willing to push boundaries and explore. You have experience with both natural and curated environments as well as the areas where those two intersect. You are somewhat a hybrid between traditional level design and traditional environment art. Our ideal candidate has proven experience building world spaces across all phases of development and is excited to come in and help close out our first title as we get closer to launch and beyond.
Required Experience:
• Experience with Maya or 3D modeling equivalent
• General understanding of game design, current design paradigms, and fundamentals of gameplay
• Understanding of how to balance design, art, and narrative to create epic and eye-catching spaces
• Understanding of how to tailor architectural concepts to game design needs
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• Excellent problem solving skills
• Ability to self-direct and autonomously deliver on goals
• Ability to iterate & collaborate under deadlines & production constraints
• Ability to shift focus from a large macro POV down to player scale details
• Comfort working with natural spaces: terrain, foliage, rocks, etc.
Bonus Experience:
• Experience with UE5 and/or World Partition
• Strong passion for online multiplayer action games; previous experience working in multi-player, open-world, 3rd person, and/or shooters
• A passion for diversity & representation in games & game development
• Background in art / architecture / CS / etc. a plus
• Having owned both the level design and environment on a section of a released game
Responsibilities:
• Daily hands-on engine work to bring ideas to life.
• Design, pitch, & hone world spaces levels from inception to completion to post-launch. Examine desired player experience goals and introduce designs that help support and enhance that experience.
• Be an equal voice within the design team for making both large- and small-scale decisions throughout the project.
• Collaborate deeply with other disciplines. This role will touch on everything from animation to UI to environment art to sound, as well as work closely with core engineering teams.
• Own map ideas from inception to completion. This includes pitching ideas in their infancy to fine-tuning post-launch. We emphasize a culture of trust, and with that trust comes both responsibility & accountability.
• Understand how world design fits into the overall creation direction of the game, both on a macro and micro level.
• Help establish guidelines and metrics that will inform art
The pay range for this position in California at the start of employment is expected to be between $90,000 and $135,000 per Year. However, base pay offered is based on market location, and may vary further depending on individualized factors for job candidates, such as job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and other objective business considerations. Subject to those same considerations, the total compensation package for this position may also include other elements, including a bonus and/or equity awards, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment. If hired, employee will be in an 'at-will position' and the company reserves the right to modify base salary (as well as any other discretionary payment or compensation or benefit program) at any time, including for reasons related to individual performance, company or individual department/team performance, and market factors.
