Proving Grounds Community Edition
Contributors Wanted

Join the build, not just the hype.

PGCE needs builders: UE5 programmers, systems people, mappers, UI and frontend help, technical artists, and later on serious playtesters who understand what made AAPG worth preserving.

PGCE support class concept art
Current best entry points UE5 integration, gameplay systems, static site expansion, contributor docs and production pipeline cleanup.

UE5 Developers

C++, Blueprints, gameplay framework, networking, dedicated server setup and backend integration.

Map Builders

Greybox flow, layout discipline, readability, tactical pacing and later environment polish.

Web and Backend

Laravel endpoints, site pages, profiles, clans, moderation tools, API tooling and deployment hygiene.

Art and UI

Weapons, character polish, menu presentation, HUD clarity and visual identity that fits the tone.

Good first contribution targets

  • Wire UE5 login against the live JWT backend
  • Implement dedicated server register and heartbeat calls
  • Expand this website with deeper project pages and updates
  • Refine docs in `docs/api/` and the UE5/backend integration notes

Contribution standards

  • Keep files readable and version-control friendly
  • Document architecture before it turns tribal
  • Prefer working, testable vertical slices over vague mock progress
  • Use the shared repo assets and docs so the project stays coherent
