Clairvoyant Entertainment, LLC is hiring developers for our upcoming infiniverse (infinite universe) game, Stars. We are looking for a scripter, a builder, and a UI designer. In Stars, players will be able to explore a vast pre-generated, procedurally generated universe, claim and explore planets, build ships, join up with other players, have epic space battles, and much, much more.

THE BUILDER POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED, NO NEW BUILDER APPLICATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Info

Developers will be expected to manage their own time, be comfortable communicating through Discord on a daily basis, be able to communicate their progress in bi-weekly conference calls (Saturdays, every second week), and be comfortable working with other developers in Team Create.

Developers will be required to sign a consultancy agreement clarifying their relationship to Clairvoyant Entertainment, payment, and workload. As such, developers must be at least 18 years of age to apply.

You never say anything about hours in your job description. How many hours are you expecting a scripter to work for $600, and then for their pay to be cut in half once they have reached a certain amount owned?

Not many people are going to be attracted to a job that cuts your pay in half once you reach ten times the original flat payment amount.

Again, the reduction in percentage is negotiable.

#5

Some amazing developers are under 18! Why are you doing this?

People desire a percentage of the game’s profits to have some level of stability once the job is over. Even if you agree to change that amount, it’s still not appealing because that stability is taken away. Furthermore, if you were talking about waiving it, why would you even have that in the contract because everyone that takes the job would want it waived.

#7

It’s mainly for legal reasons.

#8

In that case I will definitely consider waiving the reduction in percentage or at least modifying it to provide more stability to developers. I thought having only a one time decrease would be stable enough. Obviously if I had the budget for it I would ditch the percentage reduction and simply pay the developers more in cash while having a slightly lower, but constant, percentage.

#9

Correct. This is due to the contract that developers will have to sign.

#10

Is there a link to the group?

#11

Yep!

Seeing 600$ dollars in a title followed by UI Designer had me interested, but UI designers are only recieving 100$ + 10%. A bit misleading.

My apologies. That was not the intention.

Is there any position open for a music composer?

Not at the moment. We will more than likely look for a composer/translator/etc as the game nears its final state. For now we are just looking to fill core development positions.

Sounds good! When you need a composer, please feel free to contact me!

yeah they’re front page developers that are under 18, and are super super talented.

After careful consideration, I have decided to waive the reduction in payment percentage to ease concerns about the stability of the payment, and have also raised the scripter’s payment to $850.

The new payment breakdown is as follows:

Scripter || $850 + 35%
Builder || $200 + 15%
UI Designer || $100 + 10%

I hope this will encourage those who had doubts about the payment to apply.

Edit to the edit:
In case some were confused, the scripting workload will be divided between myself and the contracted scripter.

Hey,

I tried to add you on Discord, but it wouldn’t allow me. Is your name on discord still “Rocky28447#7843”?

My discord is Ted#3573
