Hello programmers!

We are team Silent Horizons. At the moment we are a few months into development for our title, “Stray”, and we are searching for additional programmers to help assist us. The game we are constructing is an ambitious one- outside of creating an amazing experience for players we also hope to give anyone working on this project an amazing and impressive credit to show to any future employer.

Our list of requirements
- C#
- Unity Experience
- Capable of assuming multiple programming roles such as UI, leveling systems, interactions, etc.
- Responsive with the team and capable of dedicating time to the project
- Moderate to good English skills

So, lets clarify some things. Do you meet all of these requirements? If not, we still may have a place for you on the team. We are fishing around for people to help us set up our webpage and we do have smaller programming tasks we can assign if you want to be involved but aren’t up to our requirements on the high end. If English isn’t your first language but you can understand this post, congratulations! You’re most likely completely fine to work with us. We have a VERY culturally diverse team, with members spread across four continents so you certainly wouldn’t be the first non-native English speaker to join our crew.

This is a completely revenue share project for the time being and likely until release nobody will receive a cent. We have a kickstarter planned and are in talks to receive grants. Any money we take from this will likely be pushed into development costs. I understand the negative stigma usually associated with revenue share, so let me address it here and now. This game is NOT a small undertaking. It’s not a glorified flash game. It probably won’t even look much like any typical indie title.

We have extremely skilled art designers, musicians, sound techs, and level designers all joined under a wonderful game that we will stop at nothing to see made. So what do you get out of this? A percentage of sales on release, your name credited, and if you’re a hard/skilled worker, a high recommendation from us should you ever need it in future applications.

-About the game-
“Stray” is a wide open sandbox game stressing on non linear progress and crafting. The setting is low fantasy, akin to medieval Europe. Magic does not exist in the game, though Alchemy loosely follows some minor magical tropes.

You play a soldier assigned to hunt down your former commanding officer, Laine, who deserted after the end of a war. She was an important figure in the protagonist’s life and his internal anguish over the order and distaste for the cruel class system set up by the hierarchy’s in the land is explored. In tracking her, mysteries begin to rise. It’s up to the player to unravel the mysteries and find Laine.

We look forward to hearing from you.
- Team Silent Horizons
