Now that we have our engine chosen (Game
Maker) and a lot of the details of the game figured out. Concept art and
writing has already begun and once we achieve a 2D Artist we will begin our
creation of Crystal Dungeons! If you're interested in any of the below
positions email me; (Keep in mind as it is now Crystal Dungeons, depending on
how it sells, may provide profit for your work! If not future projects will
most likely provide you with some royalty.)


Also some of the positions below may
already be practically full BUT feel free to email me regardless. If you
impress me you're in ;D



Concept Artist



(1/2, really need one more!) 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



(0/2, Hiring big time!!!) 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



(2/2, stilling hiring Game Maker Studio
Coders though!) 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 will be using Game Maker as our engine and GML as our coding
language. Please apply and indicate your current coding languages. 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



(1/1, hiring any free marketers) 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



(0/1 kind of not really hiring) 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



(0/2 hiring!!!) 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



(0/1, hiring!!) 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



(1/1, not taking any) 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



(0/0 but willing to take free 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/Sound Effects Composer



(Full, accepting 1 more if
skilled/experience, basically if I like your music) 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!


User Interface Artist


(0/1 full) 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


(Currently full but accpeting 1 more) 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




(Temporarily Full, accepting 1 more) 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.

Willing to join in as a free voice actor. Well I mean, you can later decide if I'm good enough as I'm just starting out with all this.
