Lead programmer

Z-light Studios

Location: Australia · Remote

Posted on December 19, 2025


[25% royalty + minor pay fortnightly]

This is a passion project first and foremost and therefore this role is best suited to an experienced programmer in Godot who also has a passion for arena fps such as unreal tournament and quake 3 arena.

You will know how to replicate for multiplayer, to use steam API for multiplayer and be able to create a dedicated server function.

The gameplay systems within the game project include more than just your typical quake arena or unreal tournament systems. This project is expansive and open minded and driven by pure fun and tactical play, as would be expected.

This is a revival of an old project and therefore there is a prototype that was built from ue5 available. This prototype is a great starting benchmark and I would like all of its mobility functions etc replicated and put in to Godot!

If this project sounds fun to you and you're happy with say $150aud a fortnight (for now) plus a 25% royalty, get in touch with me!

Also, I want to within a few months look at doing a Kickstarter for this project to help us all get paid. How nice would that be!

Peace out! ✌️
