Job Summary
Hello Playcanvas community! =]
AD Interactive is in search of a developer to assist with creating an application that will ultimately be displayed on any number of touch enabled walls measuring up to 200 inches. It is part of a larger system of similar Playcanvas applications that record certain telemetries back to a server for user reporting later.
What is it?
This particular application is a word game of sorts. It is strictly a 2D application. The user will be asked to move UI elements in relation to each other based on preposition based instruction. (e.g. āPut the spoon in the mug.ā) Everything on the screen is explicitly sized in ārealā inch dimensions.
Because it is a word game, a significant number of audio cues will need to be played from the speaker for clear instruction.
As the application is interacted with, certain metrics will need to be sent to a parent application that ultimately handles sending them to a server application for future reporting.
How far along is the project currently?
This application is currently just past the ideation stage and is thoroughly in planning and prototyping.
The API to communicate with the parent application is functional, and the backend API is already assembled, so no development in those areas is expected of the applicant. Helper functions for sizing things in ārealā dimensions based on the display and user information have already been created.
A Playcanvas project has been created with a few basic functional tests, for this particular application.
Once selected, we will guide the applicant through onboarding and a provide a detailed overview of the planned application flow and functionality.
What does AD Interactive need?
We are specifically looking for development of the applicationās functionality.
Asset generation will be handled through purchased assets or hired artists. Your role is strictly playcanvas development.
What is the target development time?
Ideally, we would like to complete functional development of this application in 4-6 weeks.
How much will this pay?
Pay is negotiable and subject to the applicantās experience and portfolio. Generally, the contract payment will be consistent with a game development salary.
Is there anything I should keep in mind?
- Developing for this project is definitely going to feel weird. All elements will need to be a specific physical size and be placed accordingly in ārealā space.
- Applicants should have a strong understanding of JS and the Playcanvas engine.
- Applicants in the Americas and Europe are preferred due to timezone alignment, with the Americas being strongly preferred.
How do I apply?
Please either send me a PM, here on the forum, or email me directly at:
Be sure to send some examples of your work and a bit about yourself as a developer. Have you worked with a team before? What sorts of feedback or direction do you prefer when working on a project?
When will an applicant be chosen?
Ideally, we will be reviewing applications and proceeding with a good fit in a week or two. If this message is still up, then we are still actively seeking applicants.
