Wanted: Video game programmers (UI and VFX) familiar with Unity

DoctorFedora — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 19:21:01 -0800

Any programmers out there familiar with Unity interested in working on a 2½D (2D gameplay, 3D graphics — think Street Fighter IV) fighting game being made by an independent publisher? Gameplay is already fairly well into development, but the creators are looking to add another programmer or two who are familiar with Unity to work mainly on UI implementation (menus, player records, netplay, etc.) and in-game visual effects. Both are contractor-into-full-time positions. Please send a cover letter to jobs@sirlingames.com along with résumé, portfolio, etc.

High-quality animated gif of Wario Ware spaghetti lifting from face needed

There was a GameCube game called WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames that had a minigame in it called "Noodle-Rama". In it, you twirled a fork so that hot spaghetti could be lifted off of the face of an anthropomorphic plate, which then breathed a sigh of relief. I need a high-quality animated gif of the spaghetti being lifted from the face. I've found videos of the minigame, but they're all smudgy. Ideally, this gif would come from some primary source, like screenshots from an emulator or video output from a GameCube? I want it to be sharp and virtually lossless.
