NOTE: I am posting this for a friend. As time is of the essence, please
contact him directly. If he doesn't get a response in the next few
days, he may have to turn down the proposal.
** WANTED **
Experienced AMIGA sofware developer(s) to convert a Nintendo system game to the
AMIGA on a contract basis. Satisfactory completion of this game may lead to
contracts for additional games, including coin-operated conversions selected
by you and (perhaps) original AMIGA games. Because the project deadline is
only a few months away, the developer or development team must be able to start
before the end of January.
DETAILS:
Banana Development, Inc., is a Milwaukee-based home-computer games company
specializing in IBM PC and Apple II/IIe/gs conversions of coin-operated
videogames under contract for major software vendors. Banana Development is
well-connected, with contacts at companies such as Konami, Mindscape, EA, and
ATARI Games, Inc. (the coin-operated game company, owned by NAMCO). They have
just received their first AMIGA proposal and, due to a shortage of programmers
and a long learning curve, are looking for an experienced AMIGA programmer or
a team of programmers who can complete this first game by late-April/early-May.
The initial game is an AMIGA version of the Nintendo home game Castlevania,
which should be easy to program on the AMIGA. The game has a horizontally-
scrolling playfield, two-voice music, and players must take turns in the
two-player mode. Banana Development can provide a Nintendo machine with the
game cartridge and the services of an artist, who can travel and work with
you for several weeks.
The salary is between $10,000 and $15,000, depending on experience, as
demonstrated by public-domain and/or commercial AMIGA software. Although most
of the money will, of course, be paid on completion, Banana Development is
pretty flexible about payment schedules. They normally pay a weekly salary
with bonuses at project milestones. If necessary, some advance money can be
arranged.
As stated above, time is short; if no suitable Amigoid comes forward within
the next few days, they will probably turn down the proposal. If their first
AMIGA game is well-received, Banana Development will be willing to take your
conversion requests and shop the titles to their clients. After they establish
a track record of high-quality AMIGA games, they will be branching out into
original AMIGA game designs.
