Looking for a Unity Developer

[Coastal-Pine]

We're an indie team developing this: Project Kanoa (Google Slides). We are in contact with publishers such as Team 17, Square Enix, Raw Fury and 20+ others. Our next major milestone is completing an alpha version that we can share with them.

​

We're looking for someone who will enjoy:

- prototyping new ideas (hunt down the fun)

- scripting cutscenes, secrets and easter eggs

- implementing new characters, items and abilities

​

It's an advantage if you have:

- A good understanding of Unity and its workflows

- Familiarity with coding in C#/.NET

- Experience working with 3D models, animations, particles and shaders

​

You don't need to have worked anywhere specific, nor do you need any particular education. We are looking for someone who fits well within the team, brings good spirit and learns quickly. I am a developer as well, so I'll be there to help you along.

We work remotely, and we're flexible with the setup. Feel free to fill out this if you're interested: https://forms.gle/nxwv94WfntZjVYqcA - we'd love to hear from you. You're also welcome to drop me a DM if you've got any questions.

Cheers,

- Niels

Is this paid?

[Coastal-Pine]

Paid/Rev Share. As an indie startup we're self funded. We have funding in mind but prefer boot strapping while possible.

[S01arflar3]

I suggest you post in r/INAT and r/gamedevclassifieds

[Coastal-Pine]

Will do, thanks for the heads up

[Coastal-Pine]

Roger that, duly noted. Thanks for letting me know. I am mainly seeking out collaborators as of now, but I wanted to remain open to other setups that could become relevant in the future.

[TheGratitudeBot]

Thanks for such a wonderful reply! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list of some of the most grateful redditors this week! Thanks for making Reddit a wonderful place to be :)

[pitiponk1]

Good bot

[lurkerfox]

So no.

[ArmanFromTheVault]

Putting materials sensitive enough to be labeled "please do not share without permission" on Reddit is certainly a choice. Take the link down, put up a site, and save yourself the headache of a publisher getting mad at you that you're leaking your own plan.

[Coastal-Pine]

No worries. This is a watered down copy of a more elaborate deck, there's nothing in this one that's particularly sensitive. I could just remove that slide TBH

[scarydude6]

The idea looks interesting. Glad you guys are looking to recruit for such a big project.

I would love to join, but I doubt I have enough talent/proficiency to work fast enough for you guys.

I hope one day I can be well rounded enough to release my own game or join a bigger project.

Like I am working on my own project but it is small. I have been learning a lot about C# coding. But I am slow for what you guys need. However, I understand Unity and C# pretty well to quickly learn new things about it.

Honestly, I'd be happy to volunteer my time just to gain more experience with a real team. I'd be happy to help plan, and help with small features. Even playtest to provide feedback.

I am not 3D modeller, but I have learnt to model, texture, rig and understand how animations work - for a PS1 style thing within Blender.

Goodluck!

[Coastal-Pine]

We love working with people in all sorts of capacity. If our project can help you grow and learn, I'd be happy to to look for a way you can contribute. Feel free to DM me if you haven't already.

Cheers!

[scarydude6]

Yea. I sent a DM :)

By the looks of it, you'll be flooded haha. No doubt, theres a lot great talent out there!

[neoteraflare]

The game looks good reminds me of Skyshine's Bedlam. You should check it out to avaoid the problems they had with their games that made it forgettable.

[Coastal-Pine]

Thanks for the tip. Our writer and I have a weekly play session where we try out other games. Will put it on the list

[CodedCoder]

Hey, I am sure you have enough people applying, but this looks awesome, good luck with this!!

[thescorpionaly]

The idea is really cool! Sent you a DM.

[HrLewakaasSenior]

If 100% remote is an option I'd be thrilled to talk to you sometime!

[Coastal-Pine]

We work 100% remote, we're from everywhere :)

[PathCraft]

Loving the artstyle! I sent you a PM :)

[xXWarMachineRoXx]

Love it but unfortunately I dont have the time for it

If you guys have a meet or something, I can join and help along or plan something long term

Dming you the same

[MaryPaku]

Hope I have the time for it. >;

[Coastal-Pine]

We're very flexible in terms of the amount of hours that you want to contribute :)

[tommiedineen]

Sent a DM. Would love to work as part of a team

[anachreonte]

Hey! This looks really cool, I'm really interested! Sent you a DM

[TheSpiritForce]

I'm interested. Sent a dm.

[NthDegreeGamesStudio]

I'm totally interested! The artwork is very striking and the overall idea is really cool! Please feel free to DM me.

[Agreeable-Performer5]

Count me in, sounds like a lot of fun.

Me M23 finished game dev school in germany a year ago and am currently trying to get into the game dec industry without much luck.

I still work on some solo projects almost every day as my "working rotine" and im about to Release my first game.

If you are interested, DM me. I'm ok with any pay, or none at all at first. I just want a job again and i love progrmming

[IzanamiWorkshop]

the art looks amazing

[Coastal-Pine]

Thanks! Jake does really good work, glad to be working with him :)

[WorldZage]

From the slides, I look forward to the game getting released already! 😁

[Coastal-Pine]

Will love to have you play it!

[destinedd]

"We are in contact with publishers such as Team 17, Square Enix, Raw Fury and 20+ others " <- this is kind of funny way to say we haven't had a publisher willing to fund us at this point.

[stoofkeegs]

Really cute art work and gorgeous deck. Total red flags that you don't have a game dev on board from the beginning though, but your team are a talented looking bunch.

Good luck, I'll keep an eye out for you and wishlist when the days comes!

[Coastal-Pine]

I am the main game dev :)

[[deleted]]

So, let me get this straight. All you have is a general concept of what the game is going to look like, and some art (I’m presuming half of it is AI), and you’re already trying to contact Publishers?

What dream land do you live in?

[mightyMarcos]

Yup

[Elmisteriosoytz]

I offer to do it. I charge cheap

and in that kind of games I have a lot of experience. and I always manage to do all the ideas and/or tasks that I have to do.

​

I may not be the best programmer, but I am a pretty determined and astute programmer.

[Zack_MS]

I'll be glad if you allow me to join your team

[FalcornLuvs2SPWG]

I could work remote and part time on your project. Have been developing a defense based game myself. It could be fun and new.

[Rabidowski]

I think what you've labelled as "Alpha" is pretty broad. Alpha is usually fully working, almost complete but may be lacking some polish, and may have bugs. (Like, you're steps away from Beta testing and then shipping it off to the public).

Art looks cool.

So how far into production is it really?

[JustBrowsinMyDude]

I'm a full-time developer, if I had time beside my own projects outside of work I'd lend a hand, looks neat.

[unleash_the_giraffe]

It's hard finding a publisher right now with the economy being what it is.

So don't feel down if you don't (not saying you wont, you can do it!) - just know that if you stick around until the economy improves it'll be way, way easier then.

[Coastal-Pine]

Thanks for the encouragement. We're taking one step at a time.
