A Lady and her Shotgun

Posted on May 4, 2012 by derek

Aside from the comfy sofas and sensible clothing there isn’t much that Eggbox Interactive has in common with John Lewis (rumours that we’re about to branch out into our own Wedding Gift List service are sadly unfounded at this stage), but one thing we do now have in common is being part of a cooperative – the Lady Shotgun team, to be exact.

Lady Shotgun is a team of experienced independent developers, with combined credits including games from many well-known franchises such as Tomb Raider, Singstar, Hitman, Crysis, TimeSplitters, and Amateur Surgeon. As a cooperative, we work together on equal terms and each take a fair share of any profits the team makes. Currently we are in the process of crafting our first game, which will be released for iOS later in the year.

Freelance programmers wanted (iOS/HTML5/PHP/MySQL)!

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Eggbox Interactive

Are you a practitioner of the ancient witchcraft that is programming? Do you summon the powers of dark spirits to make shapes move around a screen and sounds to emanate, as if out of the ether, from your speakers? Do you wear a big cape and ride a broomstick?

If so, we’d suggest probably getting out a bit more. If however, you happen to be a talented and enthusiastic freelance programmer, we’d like to hear from you. Coders of any description are welcome to apply, although we’d be particularly interested to hear from anyone with Objective C, HTML5, PHP or MySQL skills. If you’ve worked on a previously released commercial game or app that will definitely help with your application, although a great demo would do just the same job.

If you think this could be you, and you promise to avoid sending us any newt’s eyes in the post, then please send your CV, work samples, and information on your rates to Eggbox Interactive via our contact page.

Freelance 2D Artist Wanted!

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Eggbox Interactive

Update, January 2012: This position has now been filled, however if you are interested in working with Eggbox Interactive in the future then please feel free to still drop us a line.

It may well have escaped your attention, given that we snuck the news out with absolutely zero fanfare a few weeks ago, but Eggbox Interactive is currently working on an original iOS title. It’s currently in the prototype stages, where the gameplay is being prodded and poked until it’s more exciting than riding a roller coaster that’s on fire. But with significantly less charring.

More will be announced on this game in due course, but for now, to help us with this exciting new project we are looking for a freelance 2D artist who would be able to take on a short-term contract to produce the artwork for it. The ideal candidate would know their way around Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and prior mobile or web development experience would be a plus, but by no means essential.

If you think this could be you, then please drop us a line via our contact page. Please include a link to previous work samples and/or your portfolio, your availability, and a summary of your rates.
