What is a freelance video game?

A Freelance Video Game job involves working independently on various aspects of video game development, such as programming, design, art, writing, or testing. Freelancers take on short-term or project-based contracts from game studios, indie developers, or clients in need of specific game-related services. This type of work offers flexibility in choosing projects, setting rates, and working remotely. However, it also requires strong self-discipline, networking skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects at once.

What are the main challenges freelance video game developers face, and how can they overcome them?

Freelance video game developers often encounter challenges such as finding consistent work, managing multiple projects simultaneously, and staying updated with rapidly evolving technologies. To overcome these, building a strong online portfolio and networking within industry communities can help attract clients, while effective time management and clear communication are crucial for meeting project deadlines. Additionally, staying current with new tools and techniques through online courses or industry events can boost your competitiveness. Freelancers may also need to handle their own contracts, invoicing, and client expectations, making organizational skills and professionalism essential for long-term success.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a freelance video game?

To succeed as a Freelance Video Game Developer, you need strong skills in programming, game design, and a solid portfolio demonstrating completed projects. Experience with industry-standard engines like Unity or Unreal Engine, familiarity with source control systems, and relevant certifications can be advantageous. Excellent self-management, communication, and client relationship skills set top freelancers apart. These abilities allow you to efficiently deliver high-quality games, collaborate remotely, and maintain a steady flow of contracts in the competitive gaming industry.

About FTP Agency 

We bring the world's most recognizable brands to life through immersive, mobile experiences that spark real human connection. Whether it's a fashion launch, tech activation, beauty pop-up, or anything in between, we craft memorable, high-impact brand moments. Our work cuts through the noise with creative, strategic activations that leave a lasting impact.

About the Role

We're are building out our Freelancer list with a focus on Producers based in LA, NYC, Miami and Austin. We are looking for detail-obsessed, hustle-friendly Experiential Producers to help plan and execute brand experiences, from pop-ups and campus tours to large-scale street activations. You'll own projects end to end, including: scoping, budgeting, vendor wrangling, timelines, permits, onsite ops, and post-event wrap. The right candidate breathes our values - Transcend, Innovate, Egoless and Present - in everything they do. Experience with mobile activations using vehicles is a plus.

What You'll Do

  • Pre-Production
    • Build production timelines, runs of show, and checklists
    • Source and manage vendors 
    • Build and maintain accurate production budgets
    • Support permitting and compliance
    • Coordinate creative deliverables
  • Client & Internal Coordination 
    • Act as the quarterback across teams and clients - keeping projects, systems and stakeholders aligned and ensuring unparalleled communication and follow-through
    • Partner with design, social/content, and account teams to keep everything on-brand and on-point
  • Onsite Execution
    • Take the lead on event ops, making sure every detail comes together perfectly-curveballs included.
  • Post-Event
    • Collect key event metrics, organize photo and video highlights, and turn insights into recap decks and actionable takeaways for future tours.

How We Work

  • Fast-moving, highly collaborative team that values proactive problem-solving.
  • Clear ownership with support from senior producers and check-in cadences.
  • Safety-first mindset and respect for community/venue rules.

Compensation

  • $60-100/hr
  • $750-1k per day for on-site event management + travel and lodging

Requirements

You Have

  •  2-5 years in experiential/events/production, agency or brand side.
  • Experience owning project coordination from start to finish.
  • Strong organization and follow-through; you live in spreadsheets and checklists.
  • Clear, professional communication with clients and vendors. 
  • Willing to work early mornings, nights, weekends as needed.
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace; familiarity with GSuite/Monday/Hubspot or similar.

Extra Points (Nice to Have)

  • Hands-on experience with mobile/vehicle activations (food trucks, step vans, trailers), including wraps, generator/power, parking plans, and DOT basics.
  • Knowledge of NYC/major-market permitting.
  • Basic Adobe/Canva skills.
  • Experience with generative Al.
  • Experience staffing brand ambassadors and training teams onsite.
  • Comfort with measurement tools (QR flows, foot-traffic counters, surveys).
  • A valid driver's license.

Benefits

  • Competitive Medical, Dental & Vision insurance
  • Paid vacation & sick time
  • 401k matching
  • Professional Development support
  • Work from Home flexibility (up to 75 days per year)
  • Bonus potential in addition to base salary compensation
  • Weekend work stipend
