Game Developer

About the Role: Game Developer at Twine

This remote Game Developer role at Twine involves spearheading the development of a technical prototype for an innovative motion-controlled adventure game designed for iOS and Android platforms. The core focus will be on implementing robust camera-based body-motion tracking, ensuring highly responsive avatar control, and establishing a modular game architecture that can be easily expanded in the future. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering a fully functional motion tracking system, complete with effective calibration, stable performance, and intuitive motion input mechanisms. This prototype must be readily deployable via TestFlight for iOS or APK/Test distribution for Android, and critically, it should be engineered for extended, stable operation. This project is perfectly suited for a developer with substantial experience in Unity and AR technologies, eager to contribute to a groundbreaking gaming experience.

Key Deliverables

• Develop a Unity 6 (LTS) prototype that supports advanced body tracking using AR Foundation, integrating with ARKit (iOS) or ARCore (Android). MediaPipe Pose may be utilized for Android implementations.
• Implement efficient calibration systems and design a modular architecture to facilitate straightforward future feature expansion and scalability.
• Ensure responsive and stable avatar control, directly driven by real-time body motion input for an immersive user experience.
• Provide comprehensive documentation, including detailed source code, clear build instructions, a thorough performance report, and an exhaustive testing checklist.
• Optimize the prototype for continuous, stable operation over prolonged periods, strictly adhering to specified performance and user experience requirements.
• Prepare the developed prototype for seamless future enhancements and the integration of additional game features.

Required Experience & Skills

• Proven track record in developing mobile games or interactive prototypes within the Unity engine, with a strong preference for Unity 6 LTS experience.
• Extensive knowledge of AR Foundation, ARKit, ARCore, and/or MediaPipe Pose, specifically for implementing effective body tracking solutions.
• Demonstrated capability in designing modular and scalable game architectures that support long-term development.
• Hands-on experience with camera-based motion tracking and the development of reliable calibration systems.
• Proficiency in C# programming language and adherence to Unity development best practices.
• Ability to produce clear and comprehensive documentation, accurate build instructions, and detailed performance reports.
• Familiarity with iOS TestFlight and Android APK/Test distribution processes.
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Capacity to work autonomously, manage project timelines effectively, and deliver high-quality results within established deadlines.
