Dream Harvest, a Brighton (UK) based Indie Studio, is looking for a Lead Gameplay Programmer to join our small, but growing, close-knit team.
You’ll initially be working on several prototypes and a larger demo of our core combat gameplay in collaboration with our CTO, Lead Designer, Technical Designer and Art Director.
You will be the first member of a growing gameplay programming team and will have a unique opportunity to have a hand in building the engineering team while also being very much hands-on with the coding rather than focusing on management.
This is a full-time salaried position that is either remote or hybrid (our office is in Brighton, UK).
At Dream Harvest, we're building thought-provoking narrative experiences wrapped in deep strategic gameplay. We aim to redefine genre norms by pushing mechanics in new directions and offering our players new experiences that get them thinking in new ways. We are a multiplatform studio developing premium games across PC, Consoles and Mobile.
Dream Harvest comprises a highly experienced team, with half being Creative Assembly senior alumni, having worked across the Total War Franchise, from early games up to the latest Total War: Warhammer 3.
Other team members have worked on projects and games such as Riots' Arcane animation series, The Witcher 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Broken Sword 5, Fable 2 & 3, among many others and have worked at companies & studios like Ubisoft, Fortiche, Disney, SIDE and OMUK.
Our first title, NeuroNet: Mendax Proxy, tells the story of a city-management AI discovering its humanity in a world losing theirs to technology.
Our next title, currently in pre-production, is a turn-based tactical RPG set within a grimdark Victorian London and combines elements of Xcom, Monster Hunter, Bloodborne and This War Of Mine.
Dream Harvest is built on the foundation of creative collaboration, where every team member’s voice can be heard in the pursuit of building amazing games.
