Hi orthogonaltohumanity,
I'm Kevin, the Lead Developer at K-tech Studios, and I came across your post. Your background in mathematics and 11-12 years of programming experience, especially with complex simulations and languages like Python and Rust, is exactly what we are looking for.
We are currently building the core team for two exciting projects that require advanced backend systems:
⚽ Project Focus: Pitch Masters (PM) - AI Football Game
Our main project is Pitch Masters, an AI-powered football simulation game. We need sophisticated algorithms for:
- Complex AI Behavior: Implementing realistic player decision-making, team tactics, and emergent game dynamics.
- Physics/Simulation: Creating highly accurate and performant ball and player physics, far beyond simple rigid body motion.
- Game Economy/Player Progression: Designing and simulating the long-term economy and progression systems (you mentioned econophysics—this could be highly relevant!).
💡 The Role: Backend Systems Developer
Given your skill set, you would be instrumental in architecting and implementing these core, non-visual simulation systems. Your comfort with Fortran, Python, and Rust suggests you can tackle any performance-critical aspect of the backend.
We fully understand and respect that you prefer to focus on the backend and complex systems—that is precisely the expertise we need!
🤝 Collaboration Structure
As we are building K-tech Studios through collaborative effort, this is an initial revenue-share/royalty position. You would be a core team member who receives a percentage share of the revenue generated by the game upon its release. We are committed to transitioning to upfront payments as the studio grows and secures external funding.
I would love to share a detailed design document for Pitch Masters and discuss how your simulation experience can drive the game's core engine.
If this opportunity interests you and the revenue-share model aligns with your current goals, please reply here or contact me directly at k.tech.studio.email@gmail.com so we can share the full details.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Kevin.
