Left Gaslight Studios / Looking for a Job

by Dave Calabrese · 06/12/2009 (3:58 pm) · 7 comments

Time to finally let the cat out of the bag.

Sometimes, you just gotta move on with your life. Not always an easy decision, but I have been faced with that difficult decision, and chose to move on. I've got a lot still - I've got my pride, I've got many learned lessons, and I've got my knowledge.

And I have chicken. But that's beside the point.

Now here I find myself, no longer with Gaslight, performing the insane 'App-a-Day' project for 30 days. What's next? I've got a number of ideas. I know there is a lot in store for my future. But for now - I'm looking for a job!

So if you have been reading through my blogs, following App-a-Day and have been saying to yourself, "Holy crap, I wish I could hire this guy!" well, now is your chance!!

That's right, act now and you will receive 1 (one) used but very experienced video game designer and developer to call your very own. Dave comes with a wide arrange of features including:

- Producer!
- Designer!
- Director!
- Business Manager!
- 3D Artist!
- 2D Artist!
- Environment Artist!
- TorqueScript Programmer!
- C++ Programmer!
- C# Programmer!
- Objective-C Programmer!
- Worked with the whole line of Torque Engines, Gamebryo and Blade3D!
- Experience developing for Windows, OS X, iPhone / iPod Touch, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 2!
- Has published titles!
- Karate-Chop Action!

That's right - you get all of this - PLUS MORE - for the low low price of either a yearly salary or contractor wages! But THAT'S NOT ALL! Dave is also a well connected developer, knows the ins and outs of the industry, is just insane enough to create 30 iPhone apps in 30 days and... let's face it... he's a jolly good chum.


Seriously though, I am looking for a job. :)
So if you have any openings, or know of anyone who has any openings, I have a wide range of skills and a lot of professional experience (8 years worth), and would love to come work for you. Here's my online portfolio / resume / gameography so you can see for yourself what I'm capable of: www.Forbidden-Zodiac.com

Anyway... thanks for taking the time to read this post. I'm looking forward to any opportunities that it may open up for me!

I definitely can't afford to hire anyone right now but the potential is there and who knows......maybe we could team up and build something amazing ;-)
