Unreal Engine Developer – Multiplayer Physics Constraint Mechanic with Steam Integration
Duration: Short-Term (with potential for extension)
Start Date: ASAP
📝 Project Overview:
We're looking for an experienced Unreal Engine developer (UE5.5) to help implement a prototype gameplay mechanic for a two-player online co-op experience. This is a mechanics-focused task that involves physics constraints, multiplayer replication, and Steam integration.
🎯 Core Requirements:
-
Create a physics-based constraint (e.g., chain/handcuff) between two third-person characters.
-
Characters should be constrained wrist-to-wrist using UE's physics system.
-
Players should have shared movement limits and be able to pull or affect each other’s movement via input and momentum.
-
Implement a visible chain or cable mesh (optional but preferred).
-
Ensure Steam multiplayer compatibility using the Advanced Sessions plugin.
-
Use UE’s interact system (e.g., “Press E to Interact”) for simple environmental triggers.
-
Minimal environment blockout for testing the mechanic.
🧠 Ideal Candidate Should Have:
-
Strong experience with Unreal Engine 5+ and Blueprints (C++ is a plus).
-
Solid understanding of multiplayer replication and networking in Unreal.
-
Experience with physics constraints and skeletal mesh interactions.
-
Familiarity with Steam multiplayer setup and the Advanced Sessions plugin.
-
Ability to quickly prototype and troubleshoot issues in a collaborative environment.
🧪 Scope & Deliverable:
This is a template-only project focused on the multiplayer mechanic. We are not building a full game—just a working, testable version of the core system.
🚀 To Apply:
Please include:
-
Links to relevant UE projects (especially multiplayer or physics-heavy ones)
-
A brief note on your experience with Steam multiplayer and physics constraints
-
Your hourly or project rate
