Need programmer and gfx artist to a new development team

[AlexanderV]

Hi everyone.

 

I`m new here, let me introduce myself.

My name is Alexander, 27 y.o. from Moscow, Russia. Im an independent game developer.

I`ll be honest, I`m newbie in this business, so don`t make yourself fallen in illusion I`m pro.

 

Since 2011 I worked for a couple of game studios as a screenwriter (storylines and stuff), community manager (social, also partnerships) and game designer. In 2014 I started to make my own development team, step by step preparing our first game, prototyping and stuff. At the moment my first team work on our first game, which I plan to be released in a couple of month (early Autumn). Team is fully completed - programmers, gfx artists, composer - feels good.

 

What I want:

At the moment I want to make a new one. The second development team I would like to have I want to be fully completed and independent from my first team.

Product, I aim to at the moment, the same the first team has - HTML5 web games, adapted for PC and mobile platforms, small- and mid-sized.

 

Who I need:

• Programmer;

In sense of framework, games are developed within Cocos2D or Phaser, no exceptions.

I would like to meet programmer, ideally, who knows already one of these frameworks, has got experience. Same time I feel OK with programmers that didn`t work with them but are able to. Also warm welcome to the experienced persons within Game Maker Studio.

What about native language? Well, I didn`t really work with programmers who have that knowledges, but I`ll be glad to try that out.

 

• GFX Artist

Currently I do not really need 3D artist. Our games are 2D. If you can do some modeling, 3D gfxs and stuff - that`s cool but not really requirement.

GFX style. I would like to see an artist that can draw in different styles. The reason is simple - I don`t want to look for a new artist every time game requires something different from what artist can do. I perfectly understand that some stylistics turns out better, some worse.

For example, at the moment we work with this type of style: Ship the Sheep

Pixel art is going well but I don`t think we will use it. Probably, something closer to "The Minions" style.

 

Animation.

Animation is very important part in our games. For me its better if gfx artist and animator - same member. There is nothing really difficult but, for example, you should be able to make coin turn 360 degrees.

 

What about composers, sound designers?

I do not really need them because I already have several people around that want to work with me. Of course, if you really want to develop games and my message sounds really interesting for you, you can contact me.

Just for note, I prefer to work with composers who are able to make soundtracks and sound design (SFXs). Sometimes people come to me and say "I`m a composer but do not do sound design, so only soundtracks (music)". It`s cool, I`m glad for these guys but it`s just uncomfortable for me to have 10 people working on a small HTML5 game, please take this moment right way. Also, I prefer you to be able to work with different types of sound and music, because most of times I will just say "I need at this moment player feel something techical, something about robots but not really robots, it should be more like printer, you know what I mean?". Sometimes game must have some dance music, tech or something like this, sometimes its about orchestra, and sometimes its just birds singing around - I respect if you are able to do whatever it needs.

 

Business intentions.

Well, yes, to be honest I`m looking for some serious way but it doesnt mean large 3D-spaced games like Rockstar Games make. It is not neccesary. Saying serious intentions I mean I would like to deliver really interesting product in the market and, yes, I would like to make money with it to make game development be a joy and job and the same time. We are working on it.

 

How will I get paid?

At the moment I`m at very early stage of, let`s say, business growth. So at the moment I would like to work with people by sharing revenue. For example, there are 5 members in my first team, and each one has 20% from revenue.

At the moment I would like to work this way.
