About The Job
We’re looking for an enthusiastic abilities developer who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty and who is eager to learn and grow their career path on Roblox. This role is perfect for developers with exceptional combat effects talent who love to ask questions and are actively looking to improve their hard coding and interpersonal skills.
The Vesteria codebase is extremely large and often complicated, but as an abilities developer you will be working exclusively within our custom replication player abilities system with support from the rest of the development team. This Junior-level job does not involve being assigned mission-critical tasks, and is more focused on helping you learn and grow. It’ll be a tough job, but you don’t need to worry about many of the stresses that come with managing a game of this scale.
Vesteria’s abilities are ModuleScripts which contain certain fields and methods which allows them to be executed by client and server ability managers. A single ability module contains all of the code clients need to independently render the ability as well what the server needs to verify and process the ability.
Below are two sample ability modules. While these modules may seem very intimidating at first, many of the code patterns you need to implement new abilities have already been made, and it’s mostly about finding the code you need from the most similar ability. The most important thing is being able to create exceptional effects, we’ll help you figure out how to make ability modules out of them.
Key terms:
abilityExecutionData - A table that is passed around various ability methods to track the state and validity of an ability call. This table is first generated on the client, and is then validated by the server before being sent to other clients. For example, an explosive projectile ability that gains radius as it is upgraded would access abilityExecutionData["ability-statistics"].radius to figure out how big the explosion should be for that particular cast and it would access abilityExecutionData["mouse-target-position-respecting-range"] to know where to fire the projectile.
abilityData:execute - The method called by the client to render an ability call and also to iniatilize certain values before sending to the server. execute is called by the casting client before it is sent to the server, and it is called by all other clients after the server validates the call. execute can modify abilityExecutionData before it is sent to the server, and can be called multiple times with begin, change and end states to properly handle complex abilities. The arguments of execute are:
execute(renderCharacterContainer, abilityExecutionData, isAbilitySource, guid)
abilityData:execute_server - The method called by the server to preform certain tasks such as applying status effects. This method is only called when requested by the casting client’s execute method and is not required for a basic ability to function. The arguments of execute-server are:
execute_server(player, abilityExecutionData, isAbilitySource, guid, targetPoint)

We prefer candidates who are not locked into a particular coding paradigm. Lots of Vesteria’s code follows functional coding patterns, and in the past we’ve had problems with developers who were too locked into object-oriented patterns. While this position works more with object-oriented patterns than others, it is important to be able to be flexible and use the best paradigm for the job.
During last summer we unsuccessfully attempted to convert Vesteria to a Rojo project. You can explore this branch of the game on GitHub to get some insight into how the game works. Keep in mind that this branch was not used in the production version of the game. https://github.com/berezaa/vesteria
Payment
Compensation is percent-based using Roblox’s group auto-payouts. As a Junior Developer you will receive 5% of all game revenue for as long as you are on the project. Note that this percent is conditional on your continued involvement. At the time of writing, you can reasonably expect to start immedietly earning at least 
200,000 a month from your percent, and this amount will likely increase if the game’s revenue continues to trend upwards as it has been recently.
There is a 50,000 onboarding bonus awarded after successful introduction onto the project, and additional Robux bonuses offered for exceptional performance. A significant portion of the game’s revenue percent is undistributed and additional percent is available to be earned with a promotion.
