Serious Games seeks a fulltime programmer to the video games Global Conflicts: Middle East. Your main tasks will be to implement code for tactical character control, strategic AI & GUI with technical lead. The game is developed in Unity so we will not make an engine.
The computer game must both work on the commercial entertainment market and tap into the current educational systems’ growing interest in learning games that go beyond current edutainment titles.
The computer game takes the Israel-Palestine conflicts as its starting points with students having the chance of playing both sides. Student/player operates on two levels – a strategic and personal. The strategic level focuses on the more general elements of the conflicts: Politics, diplomacy, economy, military and infrastructure. On the personal level the student moves around and solves different tasks like getting through a control post, becoming member of an extremist group, track-down lost brother, getting humanitarian aid, get back confiscated property – very concrete tasks and events that are designed in close collaboration with content experts.
