“Circuits and Shields is the modern gamer’s MOBA. It is a new take in a world of MOBA clones and generic gameplay, taking the knowledge gained from over a decade of MOBA design and improving it in every aspect. Circuits takes familiar concepts like items or stats and both simplifies and deepens them, making it a great fit for both new players and MOBA veterans alike. Players choose from a colorful cast of champions, each with their own unique play style, and battle it out in a variety of unique arenas where no game is like the last.”
Circuits is currently looking to fill a few vacant positions on our roster. We’ve been making some solid progress the last few months, but have some gaps that need to be filled to keep us moving.
- Community Manager – I’m looking for something with Marketing and community experience to do a better job than I am at regularly tweeting/building an audience. Posting on the right forums, tweeting the right things, contacting the right people, etc.
- Game Designer – We’re currently in the process of finalizing a lot of our game mechanics, such as how items and perks work. I’m looking for someone who not only plays a wide range of games, but understands why games make the decisions they do. Most of the job here is just me bouncing ideas off you on Skype and you providing feedback. While most of our champions skills are currently done for now, this position could also lead into champion design, so high MOBA experience is a plus.
- UI Designer – I’m looking for a second set of eyes as we finalize a lot of our in-game UI, namely items and skill trees. We’re at a wall here currently on how we want to put the finishing touches on, so I’m looking for someone who can come in and bring a fresh design and ideas to our existing UI.
These are paying positions, albeit low ones (UI is higher pay). However, deadlines are very loose. You pretty much just need to be on Skype every now and then, respond to feedback, etc. I’d expect no more than 10 hours a week in the case of community/game designer, while UI will just be a 1 or 2 time contract.
