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 audio, which is an essential element for any game. We believe that the addition of a wide range of sound effects would enhance the user experience, particularly the UI interactions, player footsteps, weapons, vehicles, and other aspects of the game.

Therefore, we are looking for a skilled sound effects creator who can join our team and 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.
