Creative Software / Game Development Jobs In Ba?

[ruudopdenkelder]

Hello people,

My name is Ruud, I am a 29 year old freelance creative software / game developer, so I create interactive media such as games and interactive installations for museums. I am Dutch and currently I live in Amsterdam. I was wondering about the job opportunities Buenos Aires might have for someone with my skill set (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruudopdenkelder). I would be greatly helped with a direction to look or some names of companies I should take a look at.

There are a couple of them in Buenos Aires, mostly for cell phone games or faceboo aplications but i cannot remember the names now. I will ask my brother that surely knows about it.

Hello Ruud and welcome.

I am not expert in your field but here is what I know.

1) There is a small startup called Quarantine Interactive, they are currently crowdfunding their 3D game 'Nosebound'. You can download a demo of the game, at the moment. Since they are crowdfunding, they might be looking for help if you want to be a partner. They are also on Steam.
I can put you in contact with the founder.

2) There is a company called QB9 that develops the serie of videogame featuring Mundo Gaturro (a sort of Garfield character, extremely popular in Argentina), plus many others listed on their website. There are a couple of positions open with them (see the Career section on their website). They are located in Palermo. Unfortunately, I have no direct connection with them as I worked for them through an intermediary.

Thanks Serafina!

I understand that Quarantine Interactive is mostly a visual assets development company and QB9 is not explicitly looking for a software developer as far as I can see, However I will still contact them, you never know.

Any other names? Lamarque, what does your brother say?

Any of you guys have experience writing shaders and Webgl image/color processing functions? I am looking for some assistance in that arena which does overlap with gaming. Although I am working mainly in image processing at the moment. Big technology changes on the horizon for sure.
