Info:
Radiogenic Games is a small team of three (design, art, story) following our dream of making compelling and unique video games that you can’t put down.
We are currently looking for a programmer with experience implementing gameplay driven systems within Unity, primarily to do with enemy AI, combat, and puzzles.
All prospective members must be familiar with GitHub and how to make a WebGL build. Experience with UI is a bonus.
As long as you are sticking to the tasks you were assigned and getting them done each week you don't have to worry about working a specific set amount of time. Just be available to respond to anyone's questions or feedback about your work or to provide your own feedback to others. And of course don't miss the weekly meetings.

Who We Are:
We are a team from different backgrounds and education who are passionate about games. We are hard working, committed, and driven to make the best games.
Please be aware it is still a startup and I have little money, even for myself, so payment is deferred for now. But, the plan is to get the game crowdfunded once we establish a loyal fan base and solid demo.
