Creating and/or polishing gamemodes - working with coders to improve gameplay experience by creating a more accessible game. Coding in 2D art such as sprites, animated textures, and particles to improve player guidance to motivate them to complete gamemode objectives and use teamwork. Work with senior programmers to create new, original gamemodes such as Relic Hunt, Capture The Wench, and more!
Implementing hint/tutorial systems - Accessibility is king in our next updates as we expect thousands of players to play our game around its time of release, so we want to implement hint system overlays, tutorials messages, etc. Making the game user friendly by implementing an attention grabbing hint system to provide new players with the right information at the right time to help them make the right decisions in game.
Visual Experience - Creating a balance of HUD elements and ingame sprites to help create a helpful and organized visual experience for the player.
Ultimately, you would be able to do work that excites you! Work that looks great in your portfolio and in the game!
