I'm looking for highly talented, creative and experienced people to form a lean development team.
Previously I co-founded
Bossa Studios who are best known for
Surgeon Simulator. We sold the company to a big media conglomerate (Shine Group) a couple of years ago and I have since left to start a new studio with a view to doing the same again.
Initially I'm looking for coders, artists (2D or 3D), designers, musicians, sound artists, writers. I'd like to get the team together and discuss all our ideas/concepts for new games before we choose what direction to go in; this is to be a team collaboration right from the start, so the genre and platform is yet to be decided.
Programmers I'm looking for coders who have shipped at least 1 game before, have a flare for game design, and knows how to make a game feel slick and well polished.
Unity seems like the sensible choice nowadays but I'm flexible if your expertise lies in other languages.
Artists Seeking experienced artists who have a diverse range of skills; can do UI, characters, scenery, effects, etc. I'd like to see a portfolio that includes previous games you've worked on and contains more than just illustrations and concept art.
CompensationThe company doesn't have financing at this stage so it would initially be a profit share.
The plan is to build a prototype within a couple of months and use that to crowd fund the project and/or bring a publisher/investor on-board. I have experience in these areas.
I'm based in London
, it would be best if we were all in the same city, but I'm used to working with remote teams so it's not essential.
Please send me a message if this sounds appealing to you, don't forget to include links to portfolios, CVs, etc.
Cheers, Ric
