This role is for a skilled game developer to bring a unique turn-based strategy game to life, inspired by classics like Risk and Settlers of Catan but set in a richly detailed sci-fi universe. The project centers on building a playable MVP that supports up to 10 players in online multiplayer, featuring territory and resource management, army combat, and planet development. A standout requirement is a robust Game Master/Admin mode, enabling real-time control over armies, regions, and NPC factions. The ideal candidate will work independently to translate an existing game concept and rule system into a modular, scalable Unity application, laying the groundwork for future feature expansion. Clear, proactive communication and the ability to manage the development process autonomously are essential, as the client has limited availability.
