Hi everybody,
We are currently working on a project on the Unreal Engine 4, and we are looking for level designers to join our project! The project goes by the prototype name of: The Hollow.
Project Title:
Working Title: Hollow
[!]PRIORITY. LEVEL DESIGNERS
Description:
A highly anticipated Greenlit multiplayer horror/survival game in development which has been progressing well and is set to be released on Steam, because of this, we require more team members to keep up with our work-flow. This is an official release, so you will be required to sign an NDA, should you be accepted.
There are four game-modes in total. In the base game-mode, up to four players enter a location and are immediately separated from their friends by the threat that lurks, players must attempt to collect artefacts and deliver them to a special part of the map. As more artefacts have been dropped off, the threat becomes even more dangerous along the way. Once all of these artefacts have been delivered, the players can then attempt their escape.
More details about the game will be provided to our short-list of applicants.
Includes:
- Tense atmosphere.
- Unique non-combative multi-player/singleplayer
- First person view.
- Intended for Oculus Rift support.
- Fantastic soundtrack.
- Multiple gamemodes.
