About Us
I’m bigcrazycarboy, the CEO of DevGem. We are a ROBLOX game studio creating immersive, engaging games that push the platform forward and promote fun, exciting experiences that compare to those found outside of the platform. We’ve reached the front page numerous times with our retro games, but some of our most recent titles include Midnight Racing: Tokyo, and Project Trackday.
About The Job
The game is called Town Life 4. We released Town Life 1, 2, and 3 as retro titles - and Town Life 3 reached the front page in 2013. I’m looking for a highly skilled and experienced programmer to lead and develop the project with me. There are other scripters at DevGem but they are not planned to be working on this project.
Fun fact: we got retweeted by Roblox after we released our first teaser:
Requirements:
- Highly fluent in Roblox Lua, read it like a book
- Good communication skills
- Outstanding Problem-Solving skills
- Understand multiplayer networking & Filtering Enabled and how it works in Roblox
- Have a deep understanding of the Roblox engine
- Design sustainable, low-maintenance code that can be reused in future projects
- Have time to be online and check in often with the rest of the team
- Have a passion for what you’re working on and truly enjoy your time working on it
- Be ready to listen to community feedback and act as a role model to the community
- Be willing to hold on for the long haul because you’ll likely be our first choice to work on future projects after Town Life 4
- Be ready for that cash to flow
Not required, but preferred:
- American / North American timezone
- Experience creating games outside of Roblox
- Experience working with lower-level languages such as C++, Java, C#
- At least 17 years of age
- Having an account that has been on Roblox since the early 2010’s or before
- Know how to properly monetize games (incentivize spending but not money-grab)
- Assets from previous projects to help aid development of DevGem projects
- Previous experience building full-fledged games
- Understand how exploits work and how to avoid them
- Understand how to make an exploit & use that knowledge to protect against them (no I don’t mean copying obfuscated code you got online into synapse I’m talking about real C++ applications)
We believe this game will be in extremely high demand because it taps into the Roblox market perfectly, and builds on a tried and true franchise of games that have proven to be successful over the years. In fact, the official ROBLOX twitter retweeted our original announcement of the game. It will also be presented to a group that has two successful games and almost 100,000 members - growing rapidly. That’s pretty hard to beat if you ask me - this is a real opportunity for someone who is ready to take on Goliath.
Payment
We have decided to pay % profit to whoever the chosen applicant is. The amount of that % is negotiable and will be talked about privately upon contacting me. DevGem does take a small % for hosting the game on the group, and other members of the group will take their own % cuts.
