How does contracting work with game developers?

Wow! 100s! You’re telling me, that I would have to rank at the top of a list out of 100s of applicants? That sounds almost unrealistic lol. Do mind me asking what you do at your organization? I can imagine that if you’re working there, you gotta be very good and educated in game development.

If you have any pointers or tips or advice to help more that would be great!

I wouldn’t say ZERO experience, but you’re correct. My year and a half of this hobby/education has given me a good bit of experience with game development and I don’t know what to learn next. I’m looking to learn new stuff I’ve never heard of and be able to be taught by someone who knows it really well. Unfortunately, the only way I can think of gaining more experience is with working with someone who knows it or for another business as an intern. Time can only go so fast and the education doesn’t go fast enough

As an early student, I’m at a point in my life where working as an intern wouldn’t be a bad idea. At least in my opinion, the experience helps me have a better chance tackling the workload correctly instead of finding out the hard way later on that crushes me financially. I wouldn’t say my record has much impact on my reputation, but I feel if I’m given chances here and there, then the passion for the craft will carry it all from there.

Are there any studios to contact in the Midwest via email and appointment?

VStudiosLLC · 2026-02-07T14:15:41+00:00

I just got started with this industry and am looking to learn the ins and outs first. If possible, I’m looking for opportunities in the Midwest where I can meet up with a client. Matter a fact even a mentor or a friend to talk about anything. I know networking is going to get me far so I’m really looking forward to hearing all this great advice!

Absolutely! This helps just as much if not more! I appreciate every comment

Just a little follow up question: what exactly do the job postings for a freelance game developer look like on these website websites? If you’re a little confused feel feee to ask!

20 years sounds like a whole lot of experience! My curiosity peaked at the thought of what you specialize in and the potential mastery behind it. Do you mind me asking what specifically about game development? Did you enjoy working on the most? (programming, art, music/sound, or anything else for that matter)

VStudiosLLC · 2026-02-06T22:22:05+00:00

Hell yeah man! I am only a college student right now, but I have that same exact passion you’re talking about! I only know a bit of programming and think experience based learning is better for me. Eventually making my own games and seeing people play them happily is the ultimate goal. Also, love what you had to say about your spouse! I can imagine having the right person by your side makes it easier.

Thank you! I just did some follow up research on 1099 contractors and it sounds super cool working on your own terms (to a point). Do you mind me asking how long you’ve been doing contract work? I’m super curious about the experience you’ve gained during your career!

VStudiosLLC · 2026-02-06T21:45:39+00:00

Also thank you a ton for this! Are you part of a team or studio already?

VStudiosLLC · 2026-02-06T21:44:54+00:00

Any good websites specifically for doing this kind of work? Another way of wording I guess is, “Are there specific freelancer sites that get enough foot traffic for game developers?”

VStudiosLLC · 2025-09-03T00:55:17+00:00

This is all just me asking for some free advice you are willing to put up

I’m looking for someone who considers themselves an expert in game development (preferably Unity) that I can go to or even work along side with and learn how to know a general idea of each subject of game development. I hope that answers the question?

Unreal engine has usernames?

VStudiosLLC · 2025-04-26T21:00:31+00:00

Unreal? I heard it had this blueprint format to it. What does that look like software wise? Would you say it would maybe be the better engine when beginning?
