Project Title:

Mint by Nitrode

Description:

Good afternoon,

My name is Matthew - I lead our talent team at Nitrode. We have a paid opportunity available for projects in Unreal and Unity at rates starting at 50 USD/hour with potential to reach over 70 USD/hour with long-term engagements up to several months.

We’re selecting a talented team for this project, and we are using any previous Unreal Engine engine projects available for us to evaluate your current skillset. We are particularly interested in projects with strong graphical and mechanical complexity - and work that was previously created prior to AI. However, if you used AI for previous projects, send us those over as well, as our experts will be allowed to use AI - we will just take that into account.

We are particularly interested in purchasing your old projects that you own as well. If the projects that you send over in their entirety fit our requirements, we will offer both a paid opportunity and purchase the original repository outright. We are looking for projects and experts immediately, and are looking for submissions by this Sunday - the earlier the better.

We will review submissions on a rolling basis and all decisions will be made by Monday morning (PST).

Until we purchase the project from you, all rights will be completely owned by you and we will have no claim over them, but will reach out with a licensing agreement if we are interested, along with an expert work offer.

When submitting your projects, please sign up at our website at http://mint.nitrode.com, and fill out this form with your email, information and there will be several small questions about the Unreal Engine repositories. You can also reach out to us via email with any questions.

This project is secured by the mutual NDA you will fill out via the Mint website, and that your project files will be kept securely - we cannot use your files without confirmation and your compensation.

Please reply to this message with any questions; again, all submissions must be in place before Sunday evening (PST). We look forward to your submission.

You should clear some red flags, as otherwise your posting (first btw.) may appear as a scam:

  1. You dont need to get whole games or source repositories to evaluate skillsets of applicants. You can do that by in-game videos, samples, tasks or otherwise portfolios and traditional hiring procedures.

  2. your company tries to evaluate AI for real game-dev projects according to your own statements and website, e.g.: “To advance game development, we believe AI models firstly need to be judged against robust evaluation frameworks that reflect the actual complexity of the field. Over the coming months, Nitrode will open-source a suite of benchmarks designed to measure where AI models truly stand in game development.”
    “GameEngineBench evaluates whether frontier coding agents can make scoped C++ changes that compile and behave correctly inside real, running Unreal Engine 5 projects.” For this you will need real games and their source code / uncooked project files, but dont hide this fact and come up with a cover-story that you need those to evaluate skillsets to hire people.

  3. Your quick process to only get games/repositories quick (by next sunday) and no traditional application steps indicates that you are not interested in hiring, rather just want to get to the resources fast which you need for your AI model. Also potential “long-term engagements up to several months” is not hiring for a job, rather would be the short timeframe of a freelance project. But you are looking to submit repositories for your cause, not CVs / portfolios of people.

  4. The whole goal of you company is to replace Unreal developers with AI, so why would any Unreal developer be interested in contributing to that?

Hope this helps to clear up some things and improve.

I’m interested in the opportunity.

I have several Unreal Engine projects that I can share for evaluation, including gameplay/combat systems, enemy AI, vehicle systems, UI/UMG, Niagara effects and mobile Unreal projects.

Before I submit the repositories, could you clarify what format you prefer for the initial evaluation? For example, would a packaged build, gameplay video and selected source/project files be sufficient for the first review, with the full repository only being provided if you are interested in purchasing it?

I’d also be interested in learning a little more about the project and what kind of Unreal work the selected developers would be doing.

I’m happy to provide relevant examples of my work and discuss the opportunity.

No company EVER asks for complete projects and source - just selected snippets.

Your website specifically talks about building LLM models with claude and GPT. (Where’s the employment opportunities?)

Your pressure for a fast response is very much a red flag.
