Hello fellow game devs!
We are a small team of 7 currently in the pre-production phase of making a 2.5D Metroidvania. We will be offering a rev share model for this project and will be providing contracts to applicants who join the team. This is a passion project for those aspiring to make something they can be proud of and in time release on platforms like Steam.
The project: A 2.5D Metroidvania fantasy world inspired by Japanese mythology. The player takes on the role of a Ronin as they battle their way to redemption. Project Ronin is being made in Unreal Engine.
5-6 open positions are available where we would ideally (not mandatory) like applicants to be based in the UK.
Below are the open positions we are looking for:
Lead 3D Modeller – Will be the lead modeller on all character models throughout the entire project. It would be great to help with other assets such as items/weapons, but the core focus would be on the characters.
3D Modeller (environmental artist) – This person will be solely in charge for developing the environmental assets for the world we are building. It would be great to help with other assets such as items/weapons, but the core focus would be on the environment.
Level Designer – The sole level designer on the project who would have a knowledge of Metroidvania games and how the design process for such games works.
Animator/Rigger – Being realistic I know that usually these two roles are split and rare to find someone doing both to a good level. If a candidate who can do both, it would be great but if not we’re happy to split the roles.
Animator – Will be the lead and sole animator for the entire project.
Rigger – Will be the lead and sole rigger for the entire project.
Game Designer x2 – As the creative lead and narrative designer on the project I will be working closely with two game designer (one will be Lead GD). If you have a passion for game design and have worked on some projects (game jams, released titles or some form of notable experience) I would like to hear from you. Ideally the main GD will be based in the UK for time zone purposes.
Released games are not required but experience to a capable level in these fields is. It is also not a requirement to have developed or worked on a Metroidvania but would be a nice bonus to have.
Please do reach out if you are interested or have any questions. I would be more than happy to set up a call to run through anything and get to know a little about you. Experience for these roles is important but equally passion and a willingness to learn take priority.
As long as you have that passion for game development and gaming as a whole then we would like to hear from you.
Team Crossroads.
