Job Opportunities

The Project:
Starship Corporation started off as a project of passion by just one developer, found a huge following in a successful crowdfunding campaign, has recently been greenlit and is now looking to build up a small team of highly motivated freelancers.

About the Developer:
My career started off with 3D animation for advertising, then moved on to character animation for the game company Jowood (Neighbours from Hell). After that I changed to self-employment and created and sold the Lasertag company LazerCombat.
I had no programming experience prior to starting this project except a little scripting in Adobe Director and Flash, but I quickly learned to use the excellent tool GameMaker for my plans.
The project has grown way beyond my initial expectations, and will be the foundation for many cool projects in the future.

What I can offer:

  • get paid for what you would do for free anyway
  • work independently and from wherever you live
  • be part of an groundbreaking and exciting project and the founding members of a new game company
  • a partnership with mutual respect and the will to always improve communication and workflow to boost each others´ happiness and the quality of the game

Needless to say, I am very passionate about this project and I am not looking for employees, but rather long-term partners who share my enthusiasm to create the outstanding first part in an exciting future game franchise.
