[CLOSED] [5x $2k/month] Need Builders and Programmers for a new game

[Sharksie]

Hi, RedManta LLC is looking for 5 talented developers to help develop an original game. We’re looking for 3 builders and 2 programmers.

The Game
The game is a large-scale pirate game. Players will be able to spawn ships, upgrade their ships, and perform missions. We’ll get more specific with you when you’re hired.

The Jobs
These are the positions we’re looking to fill.

• Builder: Terrain - You will focus on building the world. You will work almost exclusively with smooth terrain.
• Builder: Items and Ships - You will focus on building items and ships. Items should either be meshes or CSG, and ships should be made of parts.
• Builder: Buildings and ships - You will focus on building ships and buildings. They should be primarily made of parts.
• Programmer: General stuff - You will program stuff. We already have a framework set up so most of your tasks will be implementing features and content.
• Programmer: General stuff - Same as above.

The Work Style
You will be expected to put in at least 20 hours a week. We’re open to giving raises to over-performing workers. We will give the team several delivery targets every week and you will be expected to meet them. You will also be expected to keep the details of the game private until release.

The Pay
We pay $2,000 USD per month for each job - 1k on the 15th and 1k at the end of the month. Either through paypal or directly to your bank account, whichever you prefer.

RedManta LLC
You probably haven’t heard of RedManta. That’s because we just rebranded! We used to be called Abstract Shark Games, the studio that brought you Robloxian Highschool, Knife Capsules, and Store Wars. The studio is owned by @Sharksie and @AbstractAlex. As a member of RedManta you will have access to our content network, personal expertise, guidance, and funding.

The Legal Stuff
You must be 13 or older, and if you are accepted, you must supply us with either a W9 (americans) or W8-BEN (non-americans) form. This is the same form you send to roblox to devex.

The Contact Info
If you’re interested, DM either me or Alex on the devforums, or contact us on discord if you already have us. Include previous examples of your work, please. We’re looking to fill these positions ASAP so reply as soon as you can.

Edit: More info: We want to release in 3 months, you will continue to have jobs after release, and we want to make the final decisions by Sunday Feb 11.

Whoah, good luck to anyone applying sounds like a pretty interesting experience.

[TheEldritchDreamer]

Hi! I’m very interested in this.
Could we DM on Discord?

What is the building style? And also, making ships out of parts would take 10x what it should in comparison with mesh builds, so why restrict to parts? If it’s optimization, then you can convert to parts or whatnot, and ships made of parts would use unions anyway, so that lacks optimization too. So like, what gives?

[tyridge77]

If they’re asking for part ships it’s likely because they’re wanting the ships to be destructible in a fashion similar to galleons. Same thing we’re doing for our pirate MMO. You can’t really fracture a mesh. Well you can, but it doesn’t look as good as dynamic fracturing.

I believe part based builds are more friendly for mobile devices than mesh heavy builds, too.

[nurgenius]

Oh yeah! Completely forgot about that. If I were to do it though, I would make different stages of the ships, from being in good shape to completely destroyed, and when it gets damage parts fly out and the ship model changes to more destroyed. That’s just my idea though. Anyways, good luck with the applicants sharksie!

[xChaoticKing (KingMike)]

I am definitely interested.

[HoudiniDev]

Definitely interested and willing to get involved, I’d like to mainly do buildings/items, additionally, I’ve got a passion for the interior of buildings (also the design of the building’s exterior) which would be quite beneficial.

20 hours a week is fine with me.

I’ve got good experience with Blender meshing & working in ROBLOX Studio. Some recent work below:

EDIT:
I’ve got involved with a seperate project, thanks for this nice opportunity though.

[Dev_Ryan]

If you need someone to help with smooth terrain I could help. I work with smooth terrain in all my projects, mainly because it just looks nicer than anything I could make with parts lol.

[Demjot]

I want.

[Sharksie]

Glad we’re getting so many applications! Added some extra info at the bottom of the post.

[Arch_Mage]

Can recommend working for these guys! Very professional and committed to the work they do.

[Jolly_Bones]

Arr, I be a pirate so I might apply matey.

[xChaoticKing (KingMike)]

I can support this answer. Definitely love the work style.

[Sharksie]

Thanks to everyone who applied! We’ve already contacted everyone who has been selected. We appreciate your interest, and we’ll be posting more job opportunities in the months to come.
