Job open, still reviewing portfolios.
Intro
Hey! I’m DV (aka DVwastaken), I run a game studio that primarily works with large brands and entertainment companies (clients have included Marvel, Fox, Dreamworks, T-Mobile, Nokia, Paramount, Nestle, Intel, NBC, Starbound, etc. too many to list.) Projects have ranged from mobile apps and VR to Steam, PlayStation and IoT. Everything we do is funded by the client.
I’ve always loved Roblox because of my son and oddly enough I play it way more than he does so around 3-4 years ago my studio began working with Roblox and over the past 2+ years we started creating Roblox games for brands (we did the official Dr. Seuss game and recently one for Pocketwatch) with many more branded Roblox games to come. I’m also a YouTuber making daily YT vids and a Roblox video star (main channel is approaching 200K subs, other new channel is just at 25K.) I’m also Discord partnered with 50K members and am a Core Games Affiliate. Not including links since this is a credibility section not a self-promo one but feel free to check my Roblox profile for verification.
Since I manage a game studio during the day with multiple projects going at once (some Roblox, some not Roblox) and making videos at night I rarely get a chance to roll up my sleeves to make my own games. The project I am hiring for is a personal project that I am making for my YT fans since they absolutely love hide N seek and scary games. I’m the sole developer on it, I’m not bringing my studio into this since this is a side project of mine for the fun.
State of the Game
The hide n seek game itself is fully playable as a core Hide N Seek game including the ability to equip skins, rank up, spectate, etc., however, I am still adding a storyline and features to it to really boost the scare factor. The game is at a stage that a map is really needed. I already have an artist working on character models for the seekers which are unlocked as you rank up. UI, audio and music are also covered. Just need an amazing builder to round this off for our first map. If all goes well I’ll be returning for more maps.
Timeline
Looking to complete the game within the next 60 days. Next 30 days to reach alpha testing, and beta launch by late May/early June. For the map, we’re aiming for completion within 30 days, though additional tweaks and polish can be made during alpha testing.
About The Job
I’m looking for an experienced builder who can create an amazing, original map for my horror hide n seek game. I’ll be looking for previous building experience and examples of style. Looking for a darker feel to the game that will creep players out while playing. I’m open to giving creative freedom OR being very specific depending on the builder’s work preference. The ideal builder will not be stretched on timeline due to too many other project commitments or busy with school schedules. The ability to chat on Discord is also a requirement since that is the platform I use for development communication.
Level scope we’re beginning with a haunted house, will require interior and exterior builds. Exterior does not need to be large, small fenced/blocked area. Interior will require some level of furnishing with many places to hide.
Payment
I prefer to pay $USD via PayPal as a fixed project with additional assets beyond agreed scope being $USD per asset or an additional sum that we can agree on. Alternatively, I can provide Roblox Gift Cards. I prefer not to use group funds. Please provide a range of rates
How to Apply
Please include a link to your example work so I can check it out. You can contact me via DM or @ me on Twitter @darkviper. If we proceed I can get you added on Discord. I’ll be reviewing portfolios over the next week and will update status at the top if I’ve found a builder.
Thanks for reading!
