New Project - Looking for a partner

[astronot]

Hello! I'm currently looking for a partner in a project I'm starting up. I already have all of the server infrastructure built out running on a scalable 24gb 8 core cloud VM, ready to start building.

Here's the core idea;

• Primarily a SkyBlock server.
• Will run procedurally generated dungeons in which players queue into.
  • These dungeons will scale with the amount of players in queue. 2 = small dungeon, 10 = large etc.
  • PvP is enabled inside the dungeons.
  • These dungeons will hold loot, exclusive items, and powerful boss mobs.
  • There will be a time limit in the dungeon, players will need to extract in time or be killed.

If you've played Escape from Tarkov or Dark & Darker you'll be familiar with the concept. Essentially queue up with what you're will to lose, gather loot, kill others, and extract. Your SkyBlock island will server as your home. Obviously there will be a lot more to the game mode, I'd like to see a flourishing player-driven economy, and multiple way for players to generate income. This post just highlights the core loop I expect players to engage with.

What I'm looking for;

• An adult 18+
• Experience in creating servers
• Stable income
• Java development knowledge HIGHLY recommended

My expertise;

• My day job is in IT, I'll primarily handle all of the server infrastructure, networking, etc.
• I've been playing Minecraft 2010 and building servers since 2012.

My knowledge gap;

• I have not tapped into the multiplayer market in over 5 years now and lack a lot of the "what the player wants now" sort of mindset.
