UDU is an innovative tech and gaming startup, on a mission to help kids be more physically active and have more fun. We dream of a future where gaming moves off the couch and into the world, where mobile games keep kids active and engaged - outdoors. That’s why we’ve developed the world's first motion controller for mobile gaming - a console-platform for real-world adventures.
UDU was founded by two entrepreneurs who met while working as designers at LEGO, and who share a passion for creating quality play for kids. Today the UDU team consists of more than nine talented people with experience in software, gaming, graphic, product, marketing and business development. Together we’re making a new, healthier, more exciting mobile gaming experience for kids.
In 2021, UDU is expanding. We’ve received the funding we need to begin prepping our console for mass production, building the console’s interactive games, and preparing for a huge crowdfunding product launch next year. As the product grows, so do we.
The UDU Console is changing the way we game, combining elements of physical and digital play to create brand-new, immersive experiences.
The Console uses cutting edge technology to create unique and captivating digital interactions with your physical surroundings:
Machine learning algorithms track and recognize movements, gestures, and touches,
Advanced haptics provide life-like vibration feedback, using custom-designed audio files to imitate physical touch,
LED and visual displays create color, light, and graphic feedback, and
Deep click squeeze and trigger buttons control the Console and in-app gameplay.
By pairing a console with a mobile phone, UDU is reinventing the way we play, see and feel games. Not to mention where we play them!
UDU is now looking for a skilled Unity Game Development Intern to join the UDU team!
In this position, you’ll be a part of the development team creating the first mobile gaming experience for the UDU Console. The first game in development for the UDU console is an open-world, role-playing adventure game where players explore the real world in geolocation-based gameplay. They will explore, cultivate, and defend a rich fantasy world all around them, using the UDU Console to interact with creatures, objects, and monsters along the way. You’ll be working with cutting edge technology bringing these experiences to life.
The game is developed for iOS and Android devices using the Unity game engine. It communicates with the UDU Console via BluetoothLE connection, and a backend via Unity’s web requests framework.
As a part of the development team, you will be asked to:
Develop game features in Unity and C#
Test functionality in Unity and on iOS and Android devices
Work with BLE protocols to communicate between the app and console
Communicate with a backend using Unity’s web request framework
