Having a game idea is the easier part, but being able to turn that idea into a game is the tougher challenge. You have the idea and design for your game ready, as well as your graphics and sounds effects, but the final missing piece of your game is to bring all of these together with coding. Hello, I'm a freelance game programmer with 10+ years of game programming experience, specializing in development of 2D, single-player, web browser games. I can help you build your game, starting from its inception, through the development cycles including an minimum viable product (MVP) or prototype, and finally to deploying a finished, polished product on your website. ** How I can Help You ** That missing piece is my specialty. With your design details and media, I write the code to combine it all into a fully-functioning game. ** Game genres ** I code 2D single-player, HTML5 game genres including, but not limited to: ⭐ Platformers ⭐ Side / Top-down scrollers ⭐ Action / Arcade / Shooters / Adventure / Maze ⭐ Puzzles / Blocks / Music / Educational ⭐ Cards ** Tech stack ** ⭐ Phaser 3 ⭐ Typescript / JavaScript ⭐ Node + npm ⭐ Vite / Webpack ⭐ Adobe Animate / CreateJS ** Other services: ** ⭐ Converting an existing 2D single-player Flash game to HTML5 Canvas, using Adobe Animate ⭐ Native Android app creation supported using Capacitor by Ionic, and Android Studio. ** Also, I should point out services I don't offer: ** * Game design * Graphics / art * Website design / development * Blockchain / Metaverse / NFT / Crypto * Gamification / Apps that are not games ** Why Hire Me? ** For starters, a game programmer/coder can be invaluable to you if: * Coding has always felt like rocket science to you; or * You can code, but don't have the time, due to addressing larger-scale challenges in your business Coders take on the burden of figuring out how your game should work under the hood. So you can focus on the bigger picture – delivering quality, engaging experiences to your players. ** If we were to work together, here's what we'd do: ** With your design details, graphics, and other assets, I work with you to help you build your game. The more details you can provide, the better, but I can help flesh out missing pieces from what elements your game may need, best practices, and the final deployment onto your website. 1. Press the invite button to invite me to your job. 2. We can use Upwork chat or a phone / video call to communicate further what you're looking for to determine if we're a good fit. 3. We'll discuss all the details, including how the game should function, what assets we'd need, and hosting the game on your website. Perhaps you have (or maybe are!) the designer, you have an artist, and you're looking for a programmer. If so, I'd be interested in learning more about the web game you are building. If this sounds good, press the invite button, and let's find out if we're a good fit for working together to help you create your game. See you on the other side. - Cartrell.
