Hello.
I am looking to hire a coder for a game I currently have in development. The project is currently being worked on my myself and another acquaintance of mine, both of which are doing art. We are looking for a coder to help us, essentially for free for about a month to help us have something to present to Kickstarter and a few press related things. If we are successfully funded from Kickstarter then you will be paid from your work from that point onward at a price we can agree on, I will have a contract made up after we come to a deal.
That all said, here are the general coding requirements I'm looking to achieve.
•Day/Night Cycle
•Scheduled events based on time
•Weather
•At least 8 layers
•Auto-Saving mechanics
•Complex Dialogue Trees
•Options for Linux and Mac support
•Controller support
The game will be a side-scrolling, decision making game. There will be no combat mechanics and will be mostly about exploring, finding things and talking to people. There are at least 9 main endings that change based on the decisions you make in the game. Currently I have about 30 NPCs planned, only about 4 or 5 have design work done and I'm estimating about 70-90 NPCs by the time were done. A lot of the events have yet to be planned so this is still really early work, but the sooner I get a coder in the works the better. At the latest I expect to be done and releasing this project in 8 months or less from now.
If you are intrested feel free to express so below, or contact me a zagrom(at)pixelbitunited.com
On a related note I will be putting some budget aside for outsourcing audio as well, I have already contacted someone about this who I would be interested in doing the work. If it turns out I'll need a second person to help speed up that work then I will put another ad out about it.
