Summary: Seeking a Software Designer to build an iOS Match 3 game prototype, including gameplay and a level design module. Highlights: 1. Build a unique iOS Match 3 puzzle game prototype 2. Design and implement gameplay mechanics and level creation tools 3. Strong potential for subsequent full game development contract We are looking for a Software Designer to build a prototype iOS game. The game is unique, but draws heavily on established Match 3 style puzzle games. You will build the gameplay module for iOS: • Deployment of game pieces • Interaction based on the rules of the game • Removal of colored game pieces, and the replacement of subsequent pieces falling into place • Special game pieces (creation and activation) • Basic UI • Level completion or expiration (number of moves) You will also build a level design module that allows levels to be created on a Mac, and then exports the level data into the iOS prototype. Details: • We prefer to use Unity, but we are open to other options if they produce the results we need. • This build will have basic physics and animation, but the full game with animated characters and more elaborate visuals will be built after this prototype contract is completed. • Strong potential for a subsequent contract for the full game, based on the final deliverable of the prototype. Please share previous examples of work. Video links are easiest to review, but download links to your apps are welcome as well. This is a remote job. You do not need to be in our area, but you need to be able to work in the US and be a US citizen.
