(Temporary Logo) Brief description: We are a small, start-up indie studio located in Michigan (USA) seeking a programmer familiar with C#/XNA that is interested in a royalty-based position that will lead to a salaried position on the team after the game is released. This position will require the applicant to work closely with the Project Manager and other Programmers to ensure that scheduled milestones are met. Genre: 2d anime styled, platformer action-based RPG Target aim: Commercial Compensation: Percentage of post-release royalties. Specifics will be discussed with applicants. Technology: Target: PC/Xbox Live Marketplace Engine: Torque X 2D Talent needed: C# Programmers that can program for one or more of the following: UI Player/NPC Skills General Gameplay Duties -Communicate requirements to meet milestone deadlines with Project Manager and Artist -Write the core game logic (Movement, Menu Systems, Combat, etc) -Write well documented notes in code and communicate it's functionality and use to the Project Manager -Place and script interactive elements into levels using the Game/Level Design Document as a blueprint -Script player and creature AI and skills -Insert middleware into game engine source code to supplement lacking technology (such as asset encryption) -Help design and meet required milestones and deadlines Requirements -Strong knowledge of object oriented programming -Ability to read, edit, and recompile engine source code -Exceptional problem solving skills to meet design and market expectations -10 hours a week minimum available to dedicate to project -Self motivation and interest in working with many areas of game development -Strong verbal and written communication skills -Excellent organizational skills -Ability to sign a NDA (have scanner or fax) -Passion to work within a small indie game development group dedicated to producing quality RPGs -Capable of remaining focused and motivated during long-term projects -Fluent English -Capacity to purchase Torque X 2D license (Garage Games) Team structure: 1 Game Designer 4 Artists 1 Programmer Website: www.soulsaga.net Contacts: jobs {at} soulsaga {.} net (Please do not send attachments over 10MB) Previous Work by Team: This is our studio's flagship project. Additional Info: How long will the project last? We've set a hopeful 10 month release schedule. How many programmers are on the team? 1 currently. We are planning on splitting the programming load into sub-sections such as: gameplay, UI, and skills (gameplay may be broken down further). If an applicant is able to take on more than one of these roles at a time and still meet the project deadline, then that is always a plus. How many artists are on the team? There is a composer, character artist, animator, environmental artist, and special effects artist. Roles such as GUI, icons, and other assets are also covered by these artists. Sounds like a big project! Why should I dedicate the time to it? This is the most important question, and one we can answer in confidence. As you can see from our art and presentation, we are a group focused on high production quality gaming. If you know games and marketing, you're aware this style and quality can basically sell itself among anime fans (and there are a lot of us). We're also not looking for anything too fancy with the code, and the game design is flexible. If you're a talented programmer and looking for a great opportunity to get your first commercial game under your belt, or want to be part of something that will expand into a more regular position with almost guaranteed ROI, then this is the rare opportunity for you. Most importantly: we are not a "It'll be done when it's done" hobby project. This is a project that is being funded out of pocket by an individual who is set on turning this company into a career for many people. Our ultimate goal, besides making fun and immersive games, is to find talented, like-minded individuals and allow them to grow with our company. Screenshots
