Short-Form Video Editor + AI Narration for a Live Civilization Sim Game (TikTok/Shorts/Reels)

Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I run GODSIM (godsim.tv) — a live browser game where AI civilizations are born, build empires, wage wars, and collapse 24/7 on a shared persistent map. Think "ant farm meets Civilization," running nonstop. Viewers can pay to drop their own nation and watch it survive (or not). The game generates stories by itself — wars between named nations, betrayals, rebellions, empires collapsing in real time. I need someone to turn those stories into addictive short-form videos. What you'll do: Watch the world using the game's built-in tools (an auto-director "watch mode" that follows the action, cinematic replays of big moments, and an event feed that basically writes your script for you — e.g. "Ethath declares war on Zhaven," "Free Velmar rises against Velmar") Screen-record the interesting arcs Write a tight 30–60s narration telling the story (AI voice is fine — ElevenLabs or similar) Edit: hook in the first 2 seconds, kinetic captions, zooms/cuts on the map action, trending audio where it fits Deliver vertical 9:16, ready to post (TikTok/Shorts/Reels) Cadence: Starting at 3–5 videos/week, scaling up if they perform. You're a fit if: You've made gaming/simulation/strategy content that held attention (links required — TikTok, Shorts, or a portfolio reel) You can write a punchy narrative, not just cut clips You know current short-form pacing (hooks, retention edits, caption styles) Bonus: you've grown a gaming account before, or you genuinely like watching Civ/WorldBox/map videos To apply: Send 1–3 links to short-form videos you've edited (gaming preferred), tell me which AI voice tool you'd use, and include the word "EMPIRE" so I know you read this. First task is a paid trial: one video from footage/events I provide. If it's good, ongoing weekly work.
