KULIMAR'S PROFILE

That man is wearing a dead ferret around his neck.

I love this artwork.

Haha Thanks :)

We are currently working on an openworld business adventure RPG called Profit Motive and are in real need of an exceptional RMVX Ruby Scripter and a Sprite Artist that specializes in Props and Objects to help us finish up the game.



Ruby Scripter Role



Responsibilities:

You will be in charge of scripting from scratch User Interfaces and HUD elements such as Animated Title Screens, Player Menus, Battle Menus, Shops, and other similar systems based on detailed design documentation. From time-to-time you may also help out on other work such implementing functionality for missions and gameplay systems in the game.

Sprite Artist Role



Responsibilities:

There are a lot of minor props and items that we need created or replaced with high-quality pixel art. Your responsibility will be to create such assets as needed based on detailed design documentation. From time-to-time you may also be asked to help out with other sprite art tasks such as character or animation work. You can look at the screen shots on our development page for an example of the quality level of the sprites and objects that we are looking for:

Compensation

We are offering two compensation plans, you are free to choose whichever appals to you the most.

Work For Hire

Under this plan we will offer you individual jobs and pay you a % up front and the full cost for the work upon completion. So for instance, if a job costs $200 to complete, we'd pay you $100 at the start of you working on the job and then $100 once you've completed the specific job. From there we'd continue to send you new jobs.

Royalties

Since we plan on commercially releasing the final product, we also offer a royalty plan. Under this plan we still pay you a certain amount per job, but the amount is less. In exchange, we offer you a certain royalty percentage on the sales of the game based on the amount of work and time you put into the project. What this means is that you'll make less up front, but can potentially make MUCH more on the back end if sales do well and you invest a lot into the project.

Also, your name will of course be in the credits and as a member of the team you will be able to freely give input or submit design ideas as we continue to work on the game.

Workflow

For an example of the kinds of jobs you can expect and what the design documentation will look like for each job, see the following links:

I don't care how many glitches it has. Just from the battle system and plot alone, it's a unique enough game to warrant good rating.

Thanks :)
