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.

Publicist for interstellar summit & video game jam

Mike Mongo — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:45:08 -0800

This is a contract position to publicize Starship Congress, "the first-ever interstellar space science summit for interstellar space science organizations and advocates", in Dallas, TX, this August. Another publicity aspect is "INTERSTELLAR", a game jam centered around the OUYA game system and Unity3D game engine. Are you a publicist about science-fiction and/or video gaming? That's key here. Do you have a developed media list? Also key. Starship Congress is founded by space science non-profit Icarus Interstellar. Featured guests include TED Fellow Dr Rachel Armstrong, NASA scientist Dr Harold "Sonny" White, gravity-assist pioneer Dr Michael Minovitch, and pretty much every interstellar space organization on the planet. The Icarus Interstellar sub-division FarMaker is producing "INTERSTELLAR" featuring Keynote speaker, science-fiction/video game art maestro Stephan Martiniere. Starship Congress is a technical summit. There are representatives from all STEAM (science technology engineering art mathematics) disciplines. Position lasts through August. Paid. Opportunity for further work.

Looking for a promotional writer for a game

Make Way for Ducklings! — Thu, 02 May 2013 14:55:04 -0800

We have a website for our game. The problem is all the words are made up gibberish. If you could take that and replace it with actual words, so that people read the words and say "hey, this CYOA/Diablo game sounds stupendous and I will buy it right now," that would be ideal.

Looking to interview avid FPS players for academic research

a sourceless light — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:06:37 -0800

Hi, I'm a UC Berkeley student researching FPS games for an undergraduate anthropology thesis. I'm looking for avid players and modders of FPS games from Doom (1993) onward. I'm interested in a wide range of games on PC and console, up to and including current-generation games such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2. My project is quite broad at this point, so I'm open to all kinds of experiences and perspectives. I'm especially interested in modding communities, the history of Valve, and in-depth discussion of current-generation online gaming--but I'm interested in everything and I'd be glad to hear from you. I can conduct an email interview, or I can travel to meet you in the Bay Area. You can contact me by MeFi Mail or call me if you'd like to meet in person. I would love the opportunity to talk to you.
