Job Title: [Hiring] Python/JS Developer for a web-based 911 Dispatch Simulator Game

About the Project

I am building a browser-based dispatch simulator and am looking for help to take the project beyond my current skillset. The game is a police/fire/EMS dispatch management simulation where you run a city's emergency services across shifts, handle incoming calls, decide on staffing, and manage a budget and reputation over time.

Key features include:

A live animated map.
A config-driven system for adding new content without touching code.
A growing set of interlocking mechanics.

Responsibilities

I am looking for assistance in the following areas:

Backend (Python/Flask): Developing new gameplay systems, game logic, and extending the config system.
Frontend (JS, HTML/CSS): UI polish, creating new panels/modals, and implementing map interactions (Leaflet).
Game Design & Balance: Tuning the economy/difficulty and shaping new features.
Playtesting: Providing feedback and testing (Nice to have).

Scope

This is an evolving hobby project. I would prefer to structure this as a handful of clearly defined tasks or features rather than an open-ended commitment, at least to start.

Compensation

Budget: I have a small budget available. I will always agree on a rate or flat fee with you before any work begins.
Credit: You will receive full credit in the game.
Future Potential: If this project grows, early contributors will receive first consideration for paid, ongoing work.

Requirements

Please reply to the original post with your portfolio if you are interested.
Note: Your Reddit account must be older than 4 years to be considered.
