I am looking for people that have experience actually building games that want to make a difference. We have something small out right now but I want to create an actual game we continue to get actual market feedback. We’re looking for someone proficient in game development, python, java, front end and back end uI UX development. I do not have any prior work but this is something meaningful to me that I really think we can make work. – Colby Sharma

Where’s my French at? Are you a game developer whose game is about to launch and for which you want to do a multilingual release?
Are you now thinking of localizing to increase your market and revenue, now that your game has shipped?
Are you still in development, and feeling stuck because the grant you are applying for requires you to offer a French version?
I’d love to help! Hit me up! — Benoît Esmein

Hi, I’m Marcus Mowat, music producer at Point Nine Records and I’m looking to help fellow gamers/designers out by writing songs and providing audio ingenuity geared specifically for video games.

Ace of Wands is a Toronto based gothic rock band.
We are looking to collaborate on building a first-person adventure-game to present a digital album of music. The complexity and expanse of the setting will be determined by the number of songs on the album, with each song representing a different room/challenge/experience.
This project is being presented to the Canada Council for the Arts for funding up to $100,000.00. We are looking to collaborate with game designers/programmers/artists familiar with supernatural, horror and gothic imagery. We are looking to work with a primarily queer/gender non-conforming/female team.
