Payment will be on a percent basis after the game is released everyone on the team that helped will receive an amount calculated off the amount of work they did that makes it into the final build. We plan to release on steam and any other services that will allow. Everyone is required to sign an initial Royalty Contract and a final upon release.

I am thinking about level designer position, but few questions first:
how many hours weekly you expect from level designer and at what time are those meetings?
Also do you have concept artist, or level designer should sketch what he needs?
Im sorry for getting back to you so late, we ask for 8 hours minimum, Sundays around 11 AM PST. They last a few hours. We have a division of concept artists and if its a brand new area we expect the level designer to plan it out typically from a top down make sure they are thinking of all the aspects. Do you have a discord?
Note: We are looking for a few Prop Modelers/ Level Designers currently!
Hey there, I am interested in the project, specifically the Level Designer role. May I ask, if and if so when you are hoping to see this project released?
Halcyon Winds are looking for fresh and dedicated members who have a love for video games and learning. We are currently finishing our prototype build of our launch title, Cepheus Protocol, which we will utilize to seek investment. As of right now, several potential backers have approached us or have shown interest in our game. With that in mind, we genuinely require new team members that are fully committed to joining our team – people who see game design as a career and want to either expand their portfolios with something genuinely inspiring or want to join an experienced team of creators. Halcyon Winds is a dedicated, structured, and trustworthy team looking to make a splash in the industry. We would love for you to join us on this journey.
This, we feel is a great opportunity for any inspiring artist wishing to enter the game industry or expand on their own resume and experience. It must be stated that at this point we are only seeking volunteer positions at this time.
If you feel this is something you want to be part of, please feel free to reach out to us and apply for one of our openings. Click on the link below.
