Founded in 2002 in Lima, Peru. Today it is considered one of the leading independent studios in Latin America. Bamtang Games is a game development studio specializing in action games for licensed IPs.

They are the developers behind games for some of the most famous A-list movies, TV shows and internet IP’s. Bamtang develops 2D and 3D games for all platforms, including web, mobile, PC and consoles.

Staff of over 50 artists, programmers, producers, designers, and sound engineers make everything in-house.

Responsibilities as Senior Technical Artist:

• Unreal Engine 4 – Scripting and Blueprinting: Unreal Engine provides a visual scripting system called Blueprints, which allows designers and programmers to create gameplay logic without writing code.  Tech Artist, I work with designers to help them achieve their vision by creating custom Blueprint nodes.
  
  
• Tools Development: Building robust and efficient tools is crucial for a smooth game development pipeline. You would develop editor extensions, automation scripts, and other tools to streamline content creation processes, level design, debugging, and testing.
  
  

• Shader Development: Responsible for developing and maintaining shaders, which are programs that define how light interacts with materials and surfaces in a virtual environment. This involves writing shader code, optimizing performance, and ensuring the desired visual effects are achieved.

• Lighting Design: Work closely with the art and design teams to create compelling and visually appealing lighting setups. This includes defining the placement, intensity, color, and other properties of light sources within a scene to enhance the mood, atmosphere, and overall aesthetics.

• Collaboration and Communication: Game development is a team effort, and effective communication and collaboration are essential. You would work closely with other programmers, artists, designers, and producers to understand requirements, provide technical solutions, and integrate various game components.

• Performance Optimization: Unreal Engine provides a range of profiling and optimization tools, and it’s the programmer’s responsibility to identify and address performance bottlenecks. This includes optimizing code, reducing memory usage, improving rendering performance, and ensuring smooth frame rates.

• Unreal Engine Updates and Best Practices: As an Unreal Engine specialist, I stay up to date with the latest features, updates, and best practices within Unreal Engine’s animation system. Research and experiment with new techniques and tools to improve animation quality and efficiency.
