Help us make games that make the world a better place.
We are an overtly Christian company making games with meaningful content that we believe will change the world, by improving people’s lives one player at a time. Our games offer a fun and engaging alternative to what the world offers. The Lord has given us multiple diverse design plans, for several different types of projects. We are seeking volunteers to join our team to take our projects to the next level.
What is this about?
The Lord has given us so many game ideas, even more than what are represented here, and we are feeling compelled by The Lord to find a way to work on multiple projects at the same time. For quite some time now I’ve had the idea that eventually we would have multiple teams working on individual projects. I thought that time would come after we have funding, but the last few months I have felt an increasing pressure to start now. So I am trusting the Lord and following the steps He showed me to make this happen. If you would like to serve the Lord with your gifts and talents by making games that honor Him, please consider volunteering for one of our projects. Maybe you can help us take our company to the next level!
About the jobs:
Presently all positions (yes, even the Owner/CEO) are volunteer only. Volunteering means we are not getting paid. Maybe you can help us change that though! If you feel the Lord has led you here to help us, please consider one of the following positions.
All positions are remote. We do not presently have physical offices. Everyone works from home.
Volunteer Requirements:
All volunteers will need to meet these minimum requirements to be able to participate:
Your own computer (no public computers), with a GPU that has at least 4GB vRAM (8 to 12 GB would be better)
Ample available hard drive space to develop the game
A high-speed internet connection (Cable or Fiber or possibly Starlink, but traditional 6mbps Satellite will not suffice)
Articulate communication skills
Fluent in English
A humble teachable attitude with a willingness to learn
Confidence to teach others what you know
Team oriented mindset
A valid Unity3D account in good standing
A minimum availability of at least 12 hours a week.
A self-starter who can log in to our Discord office consistently without reminders
Able to work without supervision
Willing and able to report progress consistently and reliably.
Ability to use SVN for version control
Willingness to sign and abide by an NDA for all projects
Projects
Choose one of these project teams to join:
We have multiple projects that the Lord has given us designs for. We want to assemble separate teams to work on them so each team can be dedicated to the advancement of that project. Which team interests you the most?
Sales and Marketing Coordinator
This is not a specific game project, but is a critically important core position we are needing help with. We are looking for an especially talented, dedicated, and faithful individual with a passion for marketing. This person will work with our Director of Marketing to help get all our marketing efforts up to date and also make sure our websites are displaying our best possible presentation. This person will have a driving desire to help our company become prosperous and successful, and to see everyone rewarded generously for their contributions, and understands that it’s the marketing team’s job to make that happen.

(Our 20 year mission to reach the world for Christ through games)
This is our most developed project with the longest history. Due to the magnitude of this game, there are additional requirements to participate here:

Ability to dedicate time for the long haul. This is not a small game. It has a long development future. If you only want to volunteer for a month this is not the project for you.
