BREADWINNER – JOBS/GIGS/OPPORTUNITIES/DEADLINES
Hey all! We’re looking for a freelance remote prop concept/ 3D model artist to help us out on Dawn of the Monsters at 13AM Games! Buildings, city assets, vegetation, machinery and vehicles and military equipment, maybe even mecha/near futuristic visual inspirations from comic book/Mike Mignola (Hellboy) style and anime/manga are assets we’re looking for–all simplified and low poly models. Contact Takashi: Twitter or Email!
I am looking for people that have experience actually building games that want to make a difference. We have something small out right now but I want to create an actual game we continue to get actual market feedback. We’re looking for someone proficient in game development, python, java, front end and back end uI UX development. I do not have any prior work but this is something meaningful to me that I really think we can make work. – Colby Sharma
My current job has essentially fired me, so I'm looking for work now more than ever.
Game producer. Designer. Writer. Anything game related, just let me know. If I can freelance about 50-150 USD, I'll be good. DMs are open, friends 👏 https://t.co/uPDEUt9bfL
