Hey there! First things first - we are #hiring , so if you for one or another reason are looking for a new job, you may want to take a look at this post 👇 Red Rover Interactive has a mission: to transform multiplayer gaming by unlocking the full potential of social interactions. In other words - engage the players by allowing **them** to create the narrative and social drama. That's what #projectcoltrane is all about: players wake up aboard a massive train roaming a post-apocalyptic earth - if they want to survive, they are forced to make alliances and sometimes betray them in a race to breach the engine. We are also set out to do things a bit differently: we want a product that is fun for the players, and as such we are committed to involve them every step of the way. Our first employees started only 9 months ago, and after only 5 months we already had our first external playtest with actual players from the target groups we are aiming to for. Now, we have something that is fun. Yes, it is still a prototype, but soon it will be so much more! By the end of 2023, we invited a bunch of the biggest streamers in the survival space to play our game in our first ever Conductor Games. The result was an incredibly fun experience for both devs and players, and a lot of useful feedback! In fact, it went so well that we have decided to do it again, with everyone in the community (see video below). As of now, we have an early prototype that is streamable and competitive and can be played for hours on end. We do need more people going into production though, and not just anyone: we need people who aren't afraid to be bold and who can come up with innovative solutions, and we need people who are ready to jump on the MVP wagon and who are tired of long and slow development cycles. For now, we need an #animator to own our animation pipeline - someone hands on, creative, and technical - and we need a Combat #designer to create engaging moment-to-moment gameplay. If that sounds like you, you can send me a DM or you can apply through our website. If you know someone or think you may have someone in your network that matches the profile, we would definitely appreciate the likes, tags, and re-posts. Soon, we expect to have many more open positions, so follow our LinkedIn page (or my profile) to get the updates! #conductorgames #eshow #esports #survival #battleroyale #projectcoltrane

👋 For anyone who was recently laid off or looking to get into the gaming industry: How about instead of working for a massive corporation that sees you just as a number and risk more layoffs, you take a chance and do something different ❓ I get that not everyone can afford to take this risk, but I believe we are in such a pivotal moment in the #gamesindustry where indie game studios have access to more tools, resources and opportunities than ever before. I am looking to partner with others who are interested in taking a chance and joining HALbot Studios. My goal is to create high-quality, innovative games that prioritize storytelling, immersion, and unique gameplay mechanics. I love story-based, single player games that suck you in to an immersive world. Genres I would love to explore are horror and science fiction, but I love a good real-world story as well. If you are someone who is passionate about video games and wants to take a chance with me, I'm looking for: 🖥Lead Programmer - Primarily for Unreal Engine, but I am open to exploring other engines. I mainly need someone who is a good problem solver and can think outside of the box to create unique and interesting gameplay mechanics and share ideas for what they would like to create. 🕺Lead Animator - that can work with Unreal and create animations for both first person and characters. Story telling is very important to me and animating characters to look and feel realistic is vital to creating an immersive experience. ⭐Marketing Specialist - Someone who is outgoing and passionate about helping us form a marketing strategy to connect and find our audience. Someone that loves gaming and understands what gamers are looking for. What can I offer ❓ I will be honest. I can't offer you any money right now. I wish I could, but I am barely surviving as is. This is where the risk comes in. I believe that we can create a business plan that can lead to us earning a sustainable living in the near future. I have one main project that I am currently working on that is aiming for release in the next 6 months. If you come on board now, I can offer a revenue share if you help me finish this project. On top of this, I can offer ownership in a new studio that is starting from the ground up. I believe there is massive potential for us to build a studio and release fun and unique games with great success. If you're interested, please reach out to me here or on Discord @ hal451

Looking for an experienced 🤖 Game Designer? 🤖 Yoshua Woo is currently looking for his next employer! (You'll find his portfolio and resume linked in the comments⬇) A quick tl;dr: about Yoshua ✍⬇ While only being with us for 1 year, Yoshua took responsibility from day 1. He is the kind of guy where you know everything he says can be relied upon and is based on learning, testing, and data. I wholeheartedly believe that Yoshua can improve every project out there with his expertise, by looking at and improving the game to achieve a more engaging and polished experience. Responsibilities: 💠Ownership & Creative Direction in every game design aspect of our 6-person team. 💠Developed & iterated game design features and the overall UX based on testing results 💠Conceptualized & verified important core gameplay and aligned the whole team on a common goal/UX/prototype result. 💠Focus on 3Cs and systems Professional Experience: 👾 1,5 years But do not be fooled - he punches way above his weight (XP) mentioned. But do not only ask me, because I'm biased (GoGo Yoshua!), ask the following persons from 3rd parties who worked with him at some point: - Guido Schmidt (Associated Executive Producer at Remedy Entertainment Plc and Author of Game Design: Impossible. Over the last months Guido mentored Yoshua) - Ralf C. Adam (games industry veteran & Producer at TigerTeam Productions) 💡 He really is one of the friendliest people I know and an invaluable asset to any team. Oh, did I mention he can code and has a tech background? 🔃 Please consider engaging with this post to give it the best chance to meet more people and opportunities. -- 📣 As announced in our studio closure post this is the second part (of 6) where I introduce you to our team. 💼 Everyone is looking for a new job and it would be awesome if you could engage with this post, to support us. We're thankful for every opportunity 🧬 Next up: Game Programmer, Daniel Beer -- #games #gamesindustry #lookingforjob #gamedev #remotejobs #gamesdevelopment #gamedesign #technicalgamedesign #indiegame #indiedev #videogames #gamesystems #3Cs

Hey, all. As you may have noticed, I am now #opentowork again as my contract at Digital Insight Games (DIG) has ended. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity that I had to work, especially as someone who was struggling to find work during the months following college. Its really difficult out there, especially for college grads. However, I am no longer that; several people I've talked to pointed out that I am a game developer now. No matter how you slice it, I now have professional experience making games, and nothing can change that. To me, that's a massive step up, and for the moment, its enough. I want to thank my boss Jay Lee and the rest of the DIG crew for having me on board. I learned a lot during my time at DIG, and I'm so, so thankful I had the opportunity to work there with all of you. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys put out going forward. Of course, all this means I'm back on the market, so I'll reiterate here; I am looking for work in pretty much anything tech related. My primary skillset is a Gameplay Programmer, with Unreal Engine - both with Blueprints and C++ - being what I am most proficient in. Any help finding these is appreciated, especially within the Austin area where I am currently located. I won't be looking that heavily for the next week, as I'm going to be taking some time for myself to regroup and plan my next moves. Either way, I'll see you guys around. #gameplayprogrammer #gamesindustry #techindustry #unreal
