Peace. :cool:

Is this volunteer work, or is it about a payed job ?.

It is a defered payment position. Meaning all team members will be paid when the game makes money.

At present it is voluntary. But in the future it will be paid.

Sadly I don’t have skills to apply for this, but wish you good luck.
