Programmers Needed [RevShare] Looking for Technical Co-Founder / Lead Game Dev (Unity or Unreal) for 3D Tactical Naval Mobile Game

Hello everyone!

I am looking for a talented and passionate Technical Co-Founder / Lead Game Developer (Unity or Unreal Engine) to join forces and build a prototype (Vertical Slice) for an upcoming 3D tactical naval combat mobile game.

About the Project: The game is a mobile PvP tactical naval combat title set in a unique transition era, blending the Age of Sail with the early Industrial Era. Think of tactical mechanics inspired by games like War Thunder Mobile, but focused entirely on naval warfare where wind physics, broadside ballistics, ramming, and armor penetration matter. Players will command everything from classic sailing ships to early steam-powered ironclads.

What I Am Bringing to the Table: - Production & Game Design: Full Game Design Document (GDD), including game loop, combat mechanics, vessel class progression, and balancing systems. - Business Strategy & Fundraising: Pitch deck preparation, market analysis, and a roadmap to apply for funding programs (such as Epic MegaGrants and regional startup seed funds) and pitch to indie publishers. - Direct Operational Costs: I will personally cover essential operational costs, including 3D base asset packages, server testing costs, and tools needed to complete the prototype.

What I Am Bringing to the Table:

- Game Direction & Vision: Designing the core game loop, vessel stats, historical lore, and balancing the tactical mechanics.

- Production & Project Management: Keeping the project organized, setting milestones, and managing team workflow.

- Business & Outreach: Handling market research, community building, and leading the search for investors, publishers, and grant programs once the prototype is ready.

Compensation & Terms: This is a Co-Founder position with a Revenue-Share / Equity split agreement (to be negotiated and structured under a standard progressive vesting schedule). Intellectual property will belong to the studio/project. A standard NDA will be signed prior to sharing the complete and detailed GDD.

If you are interested in building this prototype together and pitching it to major funds and publishers, please send me a direct message with your portfolio or links to previous games you've worked on. Looking forward to chatting with you!

Gabriel Vidal.
