Internship with educational nonprofit developing game
Innovate Our World, an Ellicott City, Maryland educational nonprofit, is seeking one or more avid, experienced gamers who can help us on the business side to bring our new Moon game from tech demo status to a successful launch on Steam.
The upcoming 8th Continent game will give players a number of entertaining scenarios racing, exploring, and building on the Moon that will help meet IOW’s educational mission. We envision growing the 8th Continent like Kerbal Space Program through early engagement of the user community. Starting as a single player online game (and Oculus friendly), you will have strong input into how the game evolves and grows to meet player demand.
Candidates should have strong gaming experience, comfortable with emerging technologies, demonstrated success with crowdfunding, ability to use Steam and other forums to gain support, and strong social media skills.
Opportunity starts as an volunteer/internship and could evolve into a compensated position for the right person. Can be done on a part-time/remote basis in conjunction with school or work. Contact Ron (ron AT innovateourworld.org) to discuss. The opportunity begins ASAP.
