Hello reader,
my name is Bastian, passionate game designer, board game author and over 7 years in the games industry as a professional game developer. My interests besides the day-to-day in a AAA game studio have always been to create my own game worlds with rich environment and backround history but also diving into the secrets of the mysteries behind those famous game engines that drive the best games of all time and turn anything together into a non-profit project. To reach this goal, I'm looking for a
Producer / Project manager (m/w/d)
You are looking for a challenge, to work with motivated professionals and semi professionals of the games industry and video games are you passion? Sure you are, otherwise you weren't here at all I guess! As a producer you like to lead the teams in the right direction, outline, schedule and track tasks in close collaboration with the team leads and POs and always keep your ears open for the needs of the team but also it's individuals. Your eagle eyes don't miss a chance to get talented engineers, designers and artists into the project when needed. Then you are at the right place to take the responsability to manage this project.
The Project
As realdy talked about in the intro, is related to one of the dreams of my childhood that shaped and transformed over past 20 years from my own ideas but also cultural influences like the Lord of the Rings movies in 2001, World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls or SAO and Star Citizen. We are planning to make a VR game that should be present for at least as long as WoW was and even further, in a totally new way to develop games, highly modular and designed for steady improvement, evolution and use of the state-of-the-art VR technology that already exist and will be invented in the next couple of years. All design of the game will have just one goal, to maximize immersion and make playing this game an experience our players will enjoy and never forget. And finally as we will anyways need the technology, I decided to make anything open source and provide an SDK to interested developers to provide a foundation to bring their own worlds to other players.
So what are we doing now?
This is a short answer: Developing the technology to make this come true and finally creating an infinit network of worlds and stories a player will be able to seamless travel through. thanks to the support of the Blockchain technology.
Monetization
This is a passion, not just a job and so I don't expect this to generate lots of income. But everybody will get a fair share based on a scoring that measures the amount and quality of contribution from our cash plan. Anyways, I want to share anything with all participants as long as my personal costs for Server, Taxes and so on are payed. I hope you'll understand that.
Licensing
Anything will be publisched under the AGPLv3 license to offer fairnes and transparency to contributors and donators.
