WE'RE LOOKING FOR INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS TO HELP US FINISH THE GAME. ARTISTS, LEVEL DESIGNERS, sound designers, AND MORE.

Nighttime Runners was concepted in the winter of '22, when James had an idea for a multiplayer game that was inclusive, casually competitive, and full of social features. Shortly thereafter a design document was put together, and then it was pitched to his fellow students at CG Spectrum. From there, work began on this ambitious multiplayer project. Every game development cycle has it's ups and downs; what it takes is tenacity, and a commitment to your fellow  developers to see it through. We've done that over the past 2.5 years, and now it's time to ask for help. 

This is where you come in. We're asking individual Contributors to provide assets or hourly rated work via a deferred payback model. When we generate enough revenue, you get paid, before any of the core team. You're not dedicating yourself to a years long project, you're coming in to create assets and help us polish the experience. To date, we've received no funding, and the core team will not be taking any payment until all Contributors are paid back in full. The game will be free to play, with monetization covering custom skins for characters, gear, and equipment, and other cosmetics.

If things go very well, we're looking to pay bonuses to those who have Contributed before the release date. If we earn 2X the owed work in post expense revenue, we will provide a 25% bonus on your value of work completed, based on total monetary value of work completed of all individual contributors, compared to revenue. If we hit 3X, another 25% will be paid out. All revenue earned and expenses will be openly visible to owed contributors. 

As a developer myself, and being fully aware of how a deffered payment model creates risk for the Contributor, I am not only promising to be transparent, but will have a contract between any Contributors and Voidea Games LLC. This contract covers how and when payback will occur, and also covers financial transparency between Voidea Games LLC and any owed Contributors. This will be signed before any tasks are started or asked for from any Contributor. - James
