Warpigstudios: Looking for Freelance Level Designer

    Warpigstudios is currently looking to build a pool of multi-talented, creative, resourceful, and flexible freelancers to help put together a series of demo levels for our game project [email protected].

    Please do not attach source files. Images will do.

    Thanks, and we look forward to hearing from you,

    Your recruitment post here is very professional and makes it seem like a commercial project, but the website makes it look far more like a non-commercial mod project. Just so people are clear - are these paid positions, or just normal, unpaid mod work?

    Heh, ok, just to be very clear:

    Yes, these would be paid projects. Applicants that are chosen to work on our demo maps will be paid as independent contractors.

    Warpigstudios is a startup company that is building Badge of Blood to eventually be a retail release, distributed via steam using Valve's SteamPowered business model. We'll be using our demo maps to help demonstrate our technologies and gameplay systems for interested investors.

    So I hope that clears everything up.

    If you have any further questions, please feel free to post here, or contact us at [email protected].

    yeah please do tell . do tell indeed. i have been watching badge of blood on and off for quite some time . it would be nice to get a chance to actually work on it . but before i even consider it i would like to know the answer to ferrets question.

    I do understand that we're in a unique position, so it stands to reason that some folks are curious as to what's going on.

    Like most game projects, our initial demo is largely funded by our own time and money, plus volunteer work from our internal team members.

    We're also in a position where we will soon be receiving some financial backing from several external investors. So, of course, the goal is to woo even more investors.

    Obviously, this indicates that if all goes well, this opportunity could escalate from freelance work to a full time job when the time comes for us to hire a fill-time salaried level designer.

    And regardless, it would be something else to add to your resume. So if you're interested, by all means, send us your info. We'd love to hear from you. There are a lot of talented people here, and we think this is a great place to start looking.

    I'm just gonna be lazy and quote NRG:

    I wanna add that you shouldn't state that you will pay people UNTIL you have the financial backing to do so. So yeah people, careful with what you sign..

    Quote from Dark

    From Newbs, and Warpig Studios are not.

    How can i know? There is no info about the people behind it on their website. I only see a nice website and a few concepts arts which means nothing.

    How come they know they would get a license from valve to sell their mod?

    And who wants to pay money for a science fiction mod when there are so many quality free ones are in production for hl2? (dystopia, nuclear dawn, iron grip, neotokyo, empires to name a few) :roll:

    I don't think wanting to make money for doing something means you don't love it. What if they want to start their own fully fledged development company? That's what it sounds like. Does wanting to start a business doing something, not suggest that they might love doing it? Not everybody wants to go out and work in an existing company, making something they don't give a shit about. It's harder these days to break through yourself with a commercial product, but isn't that exactly the sort of thing that Steam hopes to change? Isn't making a mod, as opposed to a stand alone game, the ideal way to make a breakthrough, given the shorter development time and lesser/non-existant startup costs?
