Internship Game Programming (UE 5)

About Greifenmaer

We are Greifenmaer – a young indie games studio from Baden-Württemberg, developing a high-quality real-time tactics game called ‘Veil of Ashes’.

In Veil of Ashes you fight with diverse units from three unique factions against other players or AI-bots for the control of strategic points on atmospheric maps.

A battalion editor, where you can assemble your own armies, allows you to try out different play-styles on the battlefield.

To support the development of Veil of Ashes, we are looking for assistance in programming in Unreal Engine 5.
