Hello everyone! Hiring thread here, seeking a experienced builder for a long term position for my Gun Gale Online inspired, FPS mc server! If this sounds interesting to you, give me a read!So what is firefight?
Firefight is a mmo/fps hybrid minecraft server, were we are implementing GGO like mechanics and features, and building an mmo around these mechanics. Modes like ranked and unranked match making, bullet of bullet style tournaments, dungeon crawling, a massive open world adventure map with zones, lore, pvp and pve, minibosses, and tons more.
And how about the tech?
Firefight is being built around a modded forge client, with a custom launcher, written in electron, that instances, controls, and manages the jvm via an open source wrapper called launchkit, written by one of the members of our team. The server is good ol fashioned spigot.
And what about the peeps?
The firefight team consists of 5 main members, Myself, with a history in the community dating back to indev, Our lead server side developer BananaPuncher714, our Electron developer PoisonApple, our secondary server developer, Cloth and Cyberpwn, our technical consultant, network engineer, and the fellow that wrote launchkit. Its a nice little team, and we are all passionate about the server, and the success of eachother.
Ok so tell me about the job
Awesome, so first things first, we will pay $15 an hour. We will pay you $100 up front, once the server launches in about a month, you will then be paid for all the hours you logged up until launch, and then from launch forward you will be paid biweekly for all hours you log. You will be building with the team, every builder on the team is equal, and their only boss is myself, who will be building right along side you, it will be an easy and flexible experience. You will be designated basic work that everyone will have to contribute on, and then will be allowed to select out of large lists of specialized work what you want to work on. The server will have custom shaders and resource assets, if there are certain assets you would like, they may be submitted or requested. For now the server will be 1.12.2 until certain stability updates are made to 1.15. There will ALWAYS be new builds to work on, so pay will be constant once we launch. From new combat arenas required every season, to constantly fleshing out the adventure overworld map, to constantly adding new dungeons and designing new dungeon templates for procedural generation.
What will you be doing?
- You will be responsible for aiding the rest of the build team in doing medial work, structure, base architecture, basic terrain, etc.
- Designing and advanced detailing on various builds such as the dungeon template pieces.
- Optionally planning and assisting with the building of your own dungeons and overworld places of interest.
- Chilling with the team in a voice channel on discord while we all coordinate and build.
- Decent understanding of various geographical and eras of architecture throughout human history.
- At least two submission builds of your choice from your previous work that showcase your talent the most.
- Build work that looks great without shaders and resource packs, instead of relying on shaders and resource assets to look good. We want good builders, not builders on crutches.
- You work well with a team.
- You are effective at communicating. Constant updates will be required via our planning workspace on notion.so, and on discord.
- You have a mic, and are able to voice call on discord with the team often.
- Being a solo player. We cant hire your whole team
