About our project

The GDXR Ultimate VR Template is an excellent starting point for VR developers using Unreal Engine 5.1+. This template caters to both experienced game developers and beginners who are new to blueprints. We are continuously working on expanding this template to make it even more resourceful.

However, our current template lacks a grounded visual style, which is an essential element for any game. We are looking to unify our UI design to a more minimalist style which can be customised/modified to work with most if not all project types.

We believe that the addition of custom art will enhance the user experience, particularly the existing UI interactions.

Therefore, we are looking for someone with experience in UI/UX design for games who can help us achieve our goal of making the GDXR Ultimate VR Template the most comprehensive and effective resource for VR developers using Unreal Engine 5.1+. Your contributions will play a vital role in enhancing the overall user experience and making our template more accessible to developers.
