WEFORGE STUDIO - WHO ARE WE?

Weforge is an independent game studio based in Sydney, Australia. The studio was founded to support our debut title, Macabre. We recently were awarded Screen Australias Games: Expansion Pack grant, which will enable us to get our first map and creature to market.

ABOUT THE GAME

Macabre is a multiplayer sci-fi horror game developed in Unreal Engine 5 for PC with VR support that will bring the immersive and terrifying experience of high-end single-player horror games to a multiplayer audience.

Guided by Banjo, an eccentric recluse with a troubled past, you'll form part of a small team tasked with discovering the source of peculiar anomalies at an abandoned eco-retreat.

You'll need to keep your wits about you, for cunning creatures are lurking from beyond this world, watching your every move. As you progress, you'll gain access to new equipment, upgrades, and skill sets, proving imperative to navigating and unlocking new areas.

As you search through the procedurally generated maps, it quickly becomes apparent that far greater forces are at play.

THE ROLE

We're looking for someone to help create a cinematic trailer for Macabre in Unreal Engine 5. This will be a 90seconds story-driven piece with voice acting that showcases our exciting yet terrifying gameplay. You'll be working closely with our creative director (who is also a commercial film director) to create high-quality cinematics from detailed storyboards. This trailer will be our key marketing piece and will be promoted heavily leading up to the release of Macabre.

• Deep understanding of the cinematic workflow in Unreal Engine 5
• Ability to take direction and interpret script and storyboards into high-quality cinematic sequences
• Understanding of cinematic lighting, lensing and camera moves.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills (English).

- Remote working, team collaboration skills - Agile workflows.

• Ability to manage technical aspects of the task.
• Advise and liaise technical aspects of the project to the team.
• Great organisational and time management skills.

BONUS SKILLS

We have a programmer, animator and 3D artist who can assist with the more complicated aspects of the trailer, but ideally you'll have some general skills (or willingness to learn) in the following areas:

• Creating bespoke animations and rigs
• Understanding of particles and VFX in UE5
• Experience with Blueprints in UE5
• General 3D works including set dressing
• Utilisation/cleanup of mocap and Lida capture on Meta Humans for movement and facial expressions

REMUNERATION

We'll need to brief you on the trailer and define the scope before locking in an overall budget. This will be a short-term contract to start with, but we are flexible with hours and remote work possible.
