To introduce myself:
My name is Andre and I’m a game developer and programmer with about 16 years of experience and a bunch of shipped titles, mostly AAA, 2 of those in Unreal Engine. I’m a generalist, having worked in gameplay, AI, tools, UI and networking. I currently work in the industry as a Principal/Lead level engineer.
Why am I posting here:
I’d like to join a team (or start a new one) to work on an interesting single-player game. I’ve started a bunch of personal projects in the past but never got very far with any of them, mainly due of my own limitations when it comes to producing art and content. So I’m using this forum to see if there are others who would be interested in joining forces and creating a game together.
What I’m looking for:
I would like to work on a game that I’d like to play myself. I like immersive games - RPGs like Gothic and Risen, Immersive Sims like Thief, System Shock or Prey and even Puzzle games like The Room series or Quern.
I can handle all the technical parts of the project myself. In fact, if you want to make a project inspired by any of the above, chances are I already have some tech laying around from my past experiments. I have enough experience in the industry to direct an engineering team if the project calls for one but also plenty of individual contributor time to deal with any implementation details myself if necessary.
I would like to creatively collaborate on a project like this with others who can pull their own weight.
What I’m not looking for:
- To be a code monkey on your own project. I already do that in my day job. If you want to hire me, I do short- and long-term contracts, ask for my CV/LinkedIn profile and we can discuss my rate.
- A “game designer” with an idea. I’m looking for someone who has the skills necessary to finish the job.
- An asset flip. I can buy assets from the Marketplace myself - I would prefer a team with some artistic power of its own.
- Anything to do with mobile
- Online game projects
Interested in working together?
