This is what you like to do
Design maritime scenarios that real ship captains and crews train on around the world. VSTEP makes NAUTIS Home, a maritime simulator people run on their own PC, with built-in ships, environments, and scenarios. You'll have the freedom to design entertaining and skill-building scenarios from variations of existing ones to brand-new concepts you propose yourself.
Your daily activities will include:
Analyze existing vessels, environments and scenarios
Read the user forum or talk to clients to learn what the users want and need
Design scenario concepts and turn them into challenging, entertaining scenarios
Build your scenarios using our NAUTIS tools (scenario editor and logic editor)
Make scenarios ready for release (add metadata, briefing, images, and so on)
Use our version control system (Git)
Edit XML or other structured files
Share feedback with developers about the software and bugs
