Hey fellow devs! Ventrix is currently looking for a primary programmer for RoStreams - further detailed information can be found below -
Ventrix is an upcoming game development Studio. We’re currently looking for a primary programmer for a major project of ours, RoStreams.
About The Team: @ofyderpman - Project founder/lead, primary builder. @Bloxtun - Manager
@??? - Programmer
RoStreams Game Link:
IIf you are interested in checking out the game - please private message me on Discord or on the DevForums, I'll gladly open it free of charge if so. It's currently in paid access, as the community begged to make it purchasable.
The entire main map is built and about 35% of it is programmed, the remaining amount of the map is ready to be programmed right away. Stressing someone most definitely isn’t my way to get things done, so instead the expectation is that you are to work at daily so we can stay on track for that. In terms of a deadline, we do aim to release Alpha in early April (2 and a half months from now)
In terms of payment: Programmer is to be paid a total of 300k Robux by the time all the tasks are completed. A portion of the payment (number is to be discussed privately) is paid up front after the programmer is hired and signs the contract. The remaining is paid as the programmer progresses finishing the work provided in the Trello, the remaining amount is to be given once the programmer has completed the game.
In terms of organization, we use Trello to keep everything organized and make sure we’re all on the same page. Previous experience with Trello is appreciated.
In terms of connections with YouTubers - Kreekcraft and GRatedFamilyGaming are fans of the project and is in the development group. He’ll be checking out the game on launch and streaming/making videos about it. (He can be found in the “Influencers” rank in the group.)
RoStreams, a realistic streamers life type of game. When a player joins the game, they are brought into the main map where everything takes place (everything such as: purchasing houses/apartments, upgrading your setup, buying groceries, cars, furniture, etc).
You can contact us here on DevForums or via Twitter or Discord.
This is a really great opportunity, and if you have time I really suggest you take this position.
It has been offered many times and many people who take it quit. If your not up to joining this team then please, do not apply for it. I am not a team member on RoStreams, but I am a retired one who, from experience knows these things. It wastes OfyFTW’s time and he cannot afford to be spending weeks with a programmer who will eventually quit.
I mean, come on. This is 300k robux plus 35% of the game profits. What else could you ask for?
The game has a stable income, good budget, motivated builders and animators, great community, and it’s really fun to work with the creator. For anyone out there who thinks it’s a bad idea and a waste of their time, think of this first.
That’s a good point. But if I may, let me remind you, the current success of this project proves that nonetheless, this game will be a hit.
We’re making 15k - 25k per month at this rate, off paid access alone. That’s only with dropping 500 Robux per weekend on sponsors - plus, the amount of support we have from Developer Relations and minor/major YouTubers and Twitch Streamers… and most importantly, the community behind this game. 35% may seem little right now, but it’ll go far in the long run.
They’ve chosen to resign. One of them couldn’t keep up with the work flow, and the other had to get a IRL job since he couldn’t afford schooling and wouldn’t have enough time to keep up with school + the IRL job + RoStreams development, etc.
Could you provide some sort of frame of reference for the tasks to be completed? A payment figure doesn’t work without a predicted workload to compare it against.
The main aspect of the streaming isn’t though… but a few things are for example.
Apartment claiming/teleporting
House purchasing (somewhat done, need to set it up so that the UI is clickable to purchase houses)
Custom NPC interaction
Car dealership interaction
All UI
Music playing in each store
Weather system
Day/night
Street lights on/off depending on the time of the day
There would be some remaining work in the main map to be completed, then we could begin the streaming aspect programming side. Although, the tasks for the main map aren’t too complicated, fairly moderate work.
We’re aware of that. I completely agree with you, 15k - 25k Robux per month is nothing right now. It’s just a simple example to show the current revenue of the game, prior to even launching Alpha or any stage of the game. Personally, I’d say if you have a game that’s not even in Alpha or even entirely playable, and you’re making 15k - 25k, that’s pretty good.
I think you also need to take into consideration that none of our Influencers have told their fans about the game… nor, is it Featured or anything yet. It’s just a barely playable game.
Please don’t forget to state the person who was previously the build and built most of the buildings and the computers / peripherals the game currently has.
