I am searching for builders and programmers to work on a new zombie outbreak game. This game will contain a total of 3 maps on release and a maximum of 100 rounds per game. I am mainly looking for programmers to help animate, create, and design the rounds and zombies. I am capable of creating workable NPCs that spawn and attack other players, but I am not the best at it. From the release of this post, I will be starting from scratch; therefore, I will need builders to start the origin of the 1st and other 2 maps. Yes, this will be developed under Team Create and all workers will be working for free unless we receive revenue from the game itself.
If youâre interested, please reply with a link to your Roblox profile, Account Age, Label (Builder or Programmer), and any other helpful information that may be important to my knowledge.
so basically youâre looking for programmers to program YOUR game
builders to build YOUR game
also they arenât getting paid unless YOU get paid
and youâre doing⌠some basic npc zombies?
in order to make money you need money dude
money to pay people
try again
I think if you want more positive responses to this, you should probably change the wording - not to make it sound better than it is, but to make it clearer to people what you want to achieve with this.
You said in your original post you will give the developers revenue from the game itself - that should probably be the advertised payment option. Advertising it as âfreeâ implies that people arenât getting paid at all.
It would be good if you made your post a bit more structured and clearly defined what each role will be doing - that will make it easier for people to find out if this job is something they might want to do.
I assume you want to make a good game. You might not really be thinking about payment, and thatâs not necessarily a bad thing - if youâre just looking for partners to work with on a cool game, thatâs absolutely fine; however it would be a good idea if you advertised it as such.
Good luck on your game
EDIT: To reply to @rachjumper, thatâs not necessarily true. If you find people with the same ambition as you who want to create something brilliant and are dedicated, you can make money without starting with any.
why do you think anyone would want to work for you if they arent even sure there will be money made
do you plan on doing any work for this project?
if you arenât doing anything for the project, then you probably shouldnât expect any pay, if the game actually makes anything. an idea is worth nothing, until there is actually action on the idea
also saying âcost is freeâ doesnât make much sense
When you ask people to work for free. The only workers you get are people who canât go beyond AlvinBlox tutorials and other youtube scripting and building tutorials.
Does this mean developers will get some percentage.
Or you take everything? If this option - then I donât know how many developers will you get. Making whole game and not getting paid, while you get everything and you do some small things?
Think about it.
I mean programmers do not usually animate. Animator is a seperate position. At least you could offer a percentage or pay in usd. For example Iâm paying my programmer a minimum of ÂŁ600.
The main issue with this is most people use developing on Roblox to make profit/money. Some of my friends live off Roblox profit, most devs need money but this opportunity is great for anyone who wants to do work for no profit or get recognised if the game does well. Good luck anyway!
To further this, being able to pay people isnât just about the fact that theyâre getting paid - it shows them that you know what youâre doing since youâre earning from a previous successful project.
Donât try and make other people make your game if youâve never made one yourself. Learn how to develop from scratch like everyone who is at all successful on this platform, and then you can think about working on games with others.
Few developers have money as their sole motivator, I think you should see this more as a unique opportunity to learn to work in a team and make a zombie game, which if succesful can actually raise you some nice pocket change. The no initial pay on joining seems to me as if there would be little stress and plenty of room to get acquainted with your new work environment.
Sadly Iâll have to turn down this offer though, already working on too many projects at once.
MOST people will not work for free, but developers who need experience // want experience would happily take up something like this, Especially if they are smaller. You should probably have at least 10k for each person, if you have the money to expand up to pay out. I recommend going around f3x groups and talking to some beginners to see what they know and get them on-board as a passion project.
