Who are we?
Gyro
Games is a small independent studio having been founded in August looking to
create a Free to Play Game for players to enjoy. This game will be single
player and 2D!
Currently our studio consist of myself (Nick) and a good friend John
(Composer). With our knowledge we want to recreate our team and try tackling
another game. This game will be called Crystal Dungeons and is essentially
similar to Final Fantasy. With a free roam aspect and turn based combat. There
will be items featured, levelling, player stats and much more!
Most Lores/Storyline have been written so mainly the art/programming is what we
need.
In the future projects will include crowd funding, sales and profit. Therefore
joining now means you’ll be helping create your future income so don’t be
afraid to apply now!
What do we need?
For this project (and probably more) we are accepting a sort of internship. If
you are interested in working with us but for only a project or two then please
indicate that in your email, if not I’ll out right ask. Otherwise feel free to
apply to our team and become a part of our Studio Gyro Games!;
Also note I am willing to be a reference for your future work/jobs so if you
only stick around for one project to use me as a reference go for it!
Concept Artist
Currently at Gyro Games we seek one-two concept artist. Your main role
will be to create just the basic concept ideas are characters, terrain, items
and other art elements within the game. You also may be ask from time to time
to aid in the creation of the games art if progress that week is slow etc. If
you’re willing to do concept art AND actually game art then please indicate
that in your application. *Definitely a bonus!* Working in a team environment
is greatly needed as a concept artist and being able to be vocal/creative about ideas.
2D Artists
We
are currently looking for two 2D artist at Gyro Games. In the past we saw the
hard work it is to create game art and for one artist it is A LOT of work. As a
2D artist you will be creating ALL 2D art in collaboration with our second 2D
artist. You may be asked to do some concept art before heading into your task
but we hope this isn’t too much to ask. You must be able to work well in a team
and also independently. Following a timeline and dedicating to your work is
something highly expected of you.
Seniority may be given at a later date to a 2D artist, this will mean not only
you lead the 2D art process of future games but you also receive a higher pay, essentially you become a manager of the art department.
Programmers
Gyro Games currently has no programmers and this creates a GREAT
opportunity to attain some cash later on. With a highly innovated and creative
team we will create a lot of great work in the future which means if you start
working now for free in the future you’re guaranteed a secured future income.
As a programmer you will need to be able to work in a team environment as you
will work closely with more than one programmer, currently there will be two of
you. We prefer a programmer with knowledge in C++ but please state your current
knowledge and we may be able to figure something out. Like the 2D artist there
is the position of Senior Programmer to be promoted too at a later date but
with both of these positions you will not be chosen because you’re the best at
your job, you need to be able to work as a leader and a team player. You will
be expected to be vocal both previous and during your position as Senior
Programmer. The pay as Senior Programmer will also be higher than a regular
programmer as is the pay for Senior 2D Artist in comparison to a regular 2D
artist.
Community Manager
A community manager is definitely a great job. Getting to work with a
gaming studio to just promote their game and create a great community for their
games. This position will be highly valued by myself and you will work very
closely with not only myself but the entire team. You must be a very vocal
person, great with your words and a VERY out there person. This position has no
promotion guarantees but as the name suggest you’re the “Manager” so you will
be at the top of the community branch even if it is only you at the moment. You
will be given the higher pay over any other future Marketers/Community workers.
But like all other jobs listed your pay is only in future projects. This
project is free to play and will most likely not create any profit.
Communications Manager
A Communications Manager will work side by side with myself and the Game Designer. You will be expected to
be a great time management person, a team player and a vocal leader. In this
position you will relay information between our branches, input what we should
be focusing on and overall help with the competition of this project. Along
with this you will be the face of our company, in future deals, publishing’s
etc. you will work with me to secure the best benefits. Like Community Manager
you will be a Manager and when an income is secured you will be paid higher
than any other Communications worker.
World Designers
We are currently looking for one-two World Designers. As a world
designer it will be expected you are highly innovated and creative. Being able
to create some abstract work that is not only fun/awesome but also unique. A
senior position is possible for this job but only in the future once a pay
income is secured. As our world designer you will be working closer with our
concept artist, 2D artist, story-board and Texture artist so it is expected you
are okay with working in a team environment.
Texture Artist
One texture artist is being hired at this time, we understand the great
deal of work you will be putting in but with so many positions we will only
expect you to create texture art and nothing more unless you’re willing to do
more work. You will work with all the art departments closely along with the
story-board to ensure you both have the land/world looking like it is both
written and envisioned. A senior position is possible for this job but like the
rest only once a future income is secured.
Web Designer
While this position is NOT currently being accepted we encourage you to
email me with your application so in the future you may join our team to create
a wonderful site to show off all our hard work and a place to display our
future work! No senior position is available in this job simply because we will
only have one web designer for a long time yet once we can rent a website/domain.
Voice Actors
While voice actors are not desperately needed at this time they are
still nice to have and if you’re interested in voice acting for free at this
time then feel free to join in! You will work closely with the
story-board/other voice actors to create some nice monologue for our game and
in the future income is possible for games.
Music Composer
While this position does already have two composers my philosophy is
that we are always hiring and if you’re interested in joining in on our studio
for free I’ll definitely consider you! Please not that your work will not be
independent even if you are the one who creates a track. In most cases you’ll
work with the other composers to create a better joint piece along with working
with the artist/story-board to create the right atmosphere. A senior position
is available at a later date for this job so work hard and when a future income
is secured you may have that pay raise!
Sound Effects Composers
If you’re not good at creating nice tracks but you think you have SICK
sound effects skill then drop an application email off to my email and we’ll
discuss you joining our team! There are no senior positions for this job but
you will still be treated like a composer. You will work closely with not only
the story-board and artists but also the Music Composers simply because they
may be able to input some different suggestions.
User Interface Artist
Currently only one UI artist is up for position. As the UI artist you will
create the menus, inventory, fight menus etc. Any interface art needed will be
asked of you to complete which means you will work closely with our Programmers
and similarly with the other artists to really make the UI blend in with the
game and make a great gaming experience! There is no Senior position planned as
of now for this job .
Story-Board Writer
As a writer myself I know it’s hard to work on a project you’re unfamiliar
with but please writers don’t be intimidated. I will work hand-in-hand with you
during all projects and we will create some of the best gaming plots ever!
There is potential of a senior position for this job as my role may expand
during the process of this studio getting bigger meaning once I’m too busy to
give instructions everywhere I’ll pass my leadership in writer to my choice of
the best suited writer to be the Senior Story-Board Writer.
Game Designer
As Gyro Games Game Designer you will essentially be like my right-hand
man. We will work together to lead the project successfully to a completion,
essentially you will work mainly with the technical aspect with the programmers
mostly seeing as my knowledge is more so in the arts area. Your position will
essentially be a one and only position unless down the road there is a need for
more people to lead the projects. You must be highly vocal, dependable, time manageable
and used to a leadership position.
Since we have no games in our portfolio
we will not be doing a kick starter for this game simply because how can we
expect people to fund us if we have nothing to show them what we are capable
of? Therefore like stated multiple times this game will not offer any payments.
I can however be a reference for any future jobs/applications post-working with
me. Future projects will eventually lead to a secure income.
A email/skype is required as well as a microphone for this project in
order to communicate.
If you're interested in joining Gyro
Games or doing an intern project email your resume/application to; nicholas_7_05@icloud.com please
include any useful information/past work experience (volunteer, paid etc.) to
increase your chances of acceptance. Upon emailing me you will receive a
description more in depth of the game/storyline. Thanks! Also add me on Skype;
ScaryKillerN for future communication after your application has been emailed.
During the creation of Crystal Dungeons, our game, we will be doing a
collaboration with Devils Inc Studio to complete this game. We hope this will
not only speed the process of completion up but allow us to see how an experience
studio works well together, not only that but we hope this will also allow more
time and work to be able to spend in making the game look and feel nicer!
