Killing, My Friend
http://killingmyfriendgame.com
Killing, My Friend is a first person co-op arcade shooter with the over-the-top movie realism and stunts of classic action movies. The game pits four action movie stars against hordes of extras, lieutenants, henchmen, and arch-nemesis. Each map is made up of cliché movie gunfight settings where players team up and battle it out alongside other players online or locally. With an emphasis on style, the players attempt to complete a variety of gameplay objectives and survive to the end. At the same time they compete with their fellow action movie stars to get kills while performing stunts to quickly build their Fame and unlock new powers.
Killing, My Friend flew through Steam Greenlight and was greenlit in just 11 days. We are currently working towards our first alpha tests to be ready for a Q4 Steam Early Access release. Check out our gameplay trailer from last year(it’s changed a lot since then!) for an idea of what the game is about:
Hard-Boiled Software LLC
We are a new independent game developer from the minds that brought you Action Half-Life and Double Action: Boogaloo. The team at Hard-Boiled Software have experience shipping and maintaining popular mods and building communities. We have a great mixture of industry vets with AAA titles under their belt, mod scene pioneers and new talent.
Compensation
We are currently looking for additional team members who are willing to work for compensation as residuals based on a percentage of what the game makes post launch. Residuals would be paid for a set amount of time. Think of it as a high intensity, schedule driven mod team with compensation at the end. Sign up as an independent contractor with a clear definition of your compensation and sign our NDA. Be a proactive and responsive communicator. Be professional and willing to take direction from the designers and leads.
Recruitment
We’re looking for people with a passion for games. Great communication skills are important and you must have decent grasp of English grammar, and be consistently available through email and Slack chat. The self-motivated and proactive are a priority. Professionalism is key.(Psst, this is where we remind you this isn’t actually a mod. People are counting on you.) And lastly, creativity and the ability to collaborate. Everyone on our team contributes to the design of the game to some extent, and you must be willing to give and take constructive criticism.
