Hello, I am Jayce. I am a Roblox game designer, builder, programmer, and UI designer of almost 5 years, and I am inviting a skilled developer to join onto my development team. I am looking for a team of people who will work well together and would genuinely enjoy making awesome, innovative games. Here is a little bit about what we would be doing:
The Job
The team, as of now, would be:
@PositionOpenToYou - 3D modeling
@ShrootBuck - Programming, Senior Developer (JOINED SEPT 29)
@ijvyce - Game Design, UI Design, help with Programming and Building
This won’t be your typical development team. I am looking for an open, skilled, professional, but fun 3D modeler that will go over game ideas with me, decide if they like them, then we (me and Shroot) would work on them all together as a team. We will advertise using my money and then split the profit. I would like to make a few things clear:
-
I am quite simply a perfectionist. I will go over tiny game details repeatedly to find just the right thing. This will lead to a long correction process. If you don’t care that much about your game looking smooth and nice and great all over, this is not the team for you.
-
I plan for this team, with some great ideas and awesome skill, to make a lot of money, but if you are the type of person that just wants to get the job done, do the work you need to do and that’s it, this is not the team for you.
-
This is NOT a team where I am “the boss.” We should all be open to speak our minds. If you want to just sit back and take orders, this is not the team for you. You should be willingly collaborative.
Games We’ll Make
Just to give you an idea of the type of stuff we would be doing, I made up a quick game design. This game sounds pretty awesome to me, but keep in mind it’s just a quick concept that I’ve had nagging in the back of my mind for a while and have been tinkering with in studio for a day or two:
The Apocalypse
Roblox has no actually legitimate games that use the classic “Point and Click” adventure format. If you aren’t familiar with this genre, it is a genre in which players use objects from around the map and other resources to progress through a world - not through or brute force, but through looking for clues and using the right items in the right places. It’s very popular outside of Roblox, but never took off inside of Roblox. The Apocalypse would be the typical 3D point and click game. A player would wake up in the middle of an apocalyptic desert (like this)
They slowly would make their way from this into an inhabited but shabby city (like this)
and then finally make their way into a full-on modern sci-fi city. (such as this)
Imagine, players would have many (maybe over a hundred) interactions with different “people”. They would have to solve issues. For example: how to fix a bridge that’s broken to get inside the main city. But, to fix the bridge, they have to get a part from someone else. And how do they get that part? That’s the tricky part. They need to have conversations and find out a way to do so. Hundreds of these little puzzles for players, trying to figure out how to advance all in one awesome, realistic storyline and world. It’s the perfect blend of mystery and role-play, all tied together with an extremely detailed and interesting world that the player is grasping to understand more.
This game would make money through selling “hints”, one hint a minute free or buy more hints to get them faster. There would also be a paid access fee of 35 Robux (remember, this whole thing is still just an idea, things could be changed, there could be other projects we make together and forget about this one)
(NOTE: THE LEVEL OF BUILDING SHOWN IN THE PICTURES IS NOT WHAT I AM ASKING FOR. HOWEVER, I STILL WANT SKILLED DEVLOPMENT)
So yes, we would be making awesome games like that all together as a team. You would have a voice in what the game would look like, and you would have a voice in changes we should make.
Requirements
I am only looking for a certain level of developer. That would be a modeler who can:
- Make complex individual assets in blender.
- Make an awesome aesthetic using blender and Roblox studio.
- Have a good sense of style (this is kind of subjective, but it’s important for everyone on the team to know to judge their own work well. nobody wants ugly assets for their game)
Payment
Ah, yes, payment, the moment you’ve been waiting for.
As I said earlier, you shouldn’t be doing it just to be done with it, and just to get the money from it. This team is to bring together talent and ideas, make something amazing, and then profit together.
That being said, payment will be percentage based. I was thinking something like:
Modeler - 25%
IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEGOTIABLE. Remember, I am also going to be developing a large part of it, and I am only looking for assets, not so much studio building.
And I know you might find this annoying (I know this phrase used to annoy me as a dev), but the work you put in truly does matter in how much money you get out. If we work together well and you are skilled, then money should come in easy for all of our games. If it completely flops, yes I do have a large backup fund.
Conclusion and Contact Info
If you are looking for a fun team of devs to make games with and profit off of, and you are skilled yourself, then this is the right place for you. If you are tired of being hired for jobs you have no interest in, then this is the team for you. If you have the courage to take the risk and say “I want to work on something I enjoy,” then this is the team you should be on. I know this post is a bit unconventional, but the idea at heart is great. Just some developers doing what they love.

Thank you for looking at this ridiculously long post (if you did lol), I’m excited to meet you all.
