What does an independent contractor game developer do?

An Independent Contractor Game Developer is a self-employed professional who designs, develops, and programs video games on a contract basis. They typically work with clients or studios on specific projects, handling tasks such as coding, game design, asset integration, and optimization. Unlike full-time employees, they are responsible for managing their own schedules, contracts, and taxes. This role offers flexibility and the opportunity to work on a variety of projects but requires strong self-discipline and business management skills.
