Periodic Games is a relatively new game development studio founded by LowPolys. The current team has known each other for over 3 years now, and our team is not just colleagues, but friends as well. We all have experience working on a front page game that was featured on the Rthro page, as well as chosen for the LiveOps program. For this job, you will be applying to the Lithium Labs group which hosts this project.
@LowPolys - Head developer / Bit of everything
@EternalFurious - Builder
@Alorist - Scripter
General information
The team is working on a large project that will include a very large, smooth terrain based map. Both myself and EternalFurious are capable of making terrain, however we are busy with other responsibilities, and we want to continue work at a productive pace.
We need someone who has experience creating large scale terrain, to create a map approximately 12,000 x 12,000 studs. You will not be responsible for building any structures, or added vegetation. Only the terrain. We do not mind if you use heightmaps, how the terrain gets done is not an issue. However, we expect that you will spend time making sure all parts of the map look and feel immersive to a player, which heightmaps alone are not able to do. Manual editing and fixing of terrain is a requirement. We also require that you show us daily progress, or work in a team create game.
The game is set in and around the Northern part of the Caucasus, familiarity with the geography of the region or willingness to learn is a big plus. Geography will include mountain ranges, rivers, and forest, it is a very diverse area.
Timeframe
We want to have half the terrain done before the end of August so that we can beging incorporating our assets onto it. This is a pretty strict deadline, so please don’t apply if you have other responsibilities that will get in the way of finishing this job.
Payment
Our budget is between 20,000 and 30,000, paid via group funds. We may also be interested in a long term relationship, in which you would receive a percentage of the games revenue. These figures are negotiable.
You must be at least 13 years old to apply for this job, along with have at minimum 1 year of applicable development experience. You can contact us via Twitter DMs, Discord (LowPolys#0927), or here on the DevForum. Please send your portfolio along with any other information you would like to share, such as why you’d be a good fit for this position.
I hope to see you on the team soon!
