This place is actually pretty good. Got a year long salary contract to help with a project for Unity development from this place that turned out really good. Stayed longer than the year I was originally contracted for.

Will definitely be trying this out. Starting a career in game dev has been very tough with no experience

Anyone have other site recommendations? Will pin the best ones asap

Work With Indies also has a Discord. Would you be wiling to put their Discord server link in the description? They have places on the sever to share work for people looking to hire, do community events to help connect people with more in the industry, and some more resources that helps a lot.

It would be cool if on mouseover the listing had a 1-line description of the type/genre of project or studio size.

Thanks for the suggestion! We're going through a redesign right now and will see if we can come up with something.

How hard would it be to find a remote job in game dev? Many countries don't have or have very little amount of game dev companies or indie studios

This mostly depends on the equipment budget and security needs (i.e. can they send you a PC or trust that their info is safe on yours). But international work is also subject to labor laws. Established companies have a harder time hiring across borders. Your best bet would be to connect with other solo devs online and collaborate. Just be wary of scams and establish a comfortable payment pipeline (prove you've done the work and send demo videos but don't send the actual code/assets without receiving payment).

​@@zacharymyers6392 My situation is more unique because I now live in Japan, but I contract with the company I used to work in office before in the U.S. I'm 100% remote, but by becoming an indpendent contractor, I don't get employee benefits, but I have my own schedule and take care of my own taxes, so there's a division between how our taxes work. Contracting with workers overseas is a lot easier than employing them (which is the nightmare we decided to avoid). Plus, it opens me up to other work as well since I'm a sole proprietor. I got lucky since they moved me up from just a WebXR developer to wanting me to help with their VR title (which is finally making it to the official Quest store soon, so excited my work helped with that a bit!) just before I moved and started contract work instead. I'd say for completely remote work, contracting makes things easier for both sides in the long run since it gives you more flexibility while helping your client avoid taxation issues (as long as you make sure it stays a contract relationship and handle your own taxes whatever country you live in). Thing is, I never feel confident about my skills, so I never know what "level" of Unity programmer I am as I've always gotten my work through recommendations and networking, so I'm trying to work on game programming on my own time (even delving a bit into Godot on my free time to broaden my understanding of game programming in general). So, directly "finding a remote job in game dev," feels harder if you have no prior experience with the employer or client before as you've got to convince them why you would be a better choice to hire completely remotely than someone local, otherwise, networking is your next best bet I'd say.

@2:50 I feel like you need to have a real address on your resume cause all of the sites that have you UL and parse your resume looks for and fills on your address .

The gamedev pro bundle has them all. I should probably make a separate page for it so it's more clear. Just realized the discount in it isn't visible until the checkout page either. 🙃

That's really cool! Sadly it seems to be focused mainly on the US only.

Great site, unfortunately they require more than I am able to contribute at this time.

How many of them are just bullshit titles, though.
