I am currently seeking employment or freelance contracts as a junior or mid-level programmer in any industry. I have been programming games in GML in GameMaker since 2016. My wife and I have an indie game studio, Samobee Games, and have three released titles including: Princess Farmer (published through Whitethorn Games on all platforms), and Elemental Survivors, currently in Early Access on Steam. Work on our games is on indefinite hiatus due to my wife's health, and as such I am seeking work as an individual. My experience also includes writing, both copy and dialogue, and game design, including puzzle levels and general design. I am a creative problem solver, and I thrive on being given an end goal and figuring out the best, most flexible, and cleanest way to produce functional, testable results.

FAQs

Why hire a GameMaker developer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a GameMaker developer, multiple developers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote GameMaker developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire GameMaker developers?

Where do I hire the best remote GameMaker developers?

There are two types of platforms you can hire GameMaker programmers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find GameMaker developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.

If you’re looking to hire the best remote GameMaker developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their GameMaker developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote GameMaker developer candidates.

Some factors to consider when you hire GameMaker developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.

A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.

Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote GameMaker developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
