These are the official instructions regarding "blockage" and it's membership as of the 6th of April 2016, until a newer version is issued or Earth spontaneously combusts, whichever occurs first.

At this time, "blockage" is largerly very insignificant and inexperienced "game studio", around the time of releasing it's first game, the results of which are probably rather peculiar. Currently, almost everything (except clothing makers) done by blockage members is voluntary, i.e. done for free, with no monetary compensation. It is good to keep that in mind.

Also (with the exception of clothing makers), it is very highly suggested (aka required) to use "Discord" (a Skype-like communication program) to access our blockage server, as most coordination and discussion happens there - builders and scripters especially couldn't do anything effectively without that.

If still interested in joining, below is the list of most the common roles that we can make use of. If you have any questions, feel free to include them in any potential messages to me.


▷ BUILDERS ◁

Whether it's making vast landscapes, gigantic structures or detailed handguns, you are a considered builder. Which is probably why we have so many of them. Your specialisation AND skill doesn't really matter too much, as we should be able to utilise almost anything atleast minimally viable.

At the moment, freelance builders pick available tasks and work towards them, alone or in small teams. All builders being voluntary means things can get somewhat chaotic, as all progress towards the voluntary contributions is organised by builders themselves.

There are no requirements to become a builder except for undergoing an entry test task, which is there to determine what roughly can I expect from you. Again, skill or specialisation is not important (and it shouldn't be technically possible to fail it as long as it's completed). However, it is important that I know what approximately are your capabilities, so I know what can I assign you to if needed.

So, if interested in trying it as a builder, simply send me a message saying so, perhaps with a bit about yourself, if you prefer. I will send you the task list in return and we'll work it out from there.


▷ SCRIPTERS ◁

In short: we're short on freelance scripters. Who would've thought that scripting for free is not nearly as exciting as it sounds.

Freelance scripters basically lurk on our Discord and wait until someone else asks for help / request a script of a certain description - after which scripters can choose if they want to help, or atleast provide advice.

Given the nature of this position and the fact some builders can potentially have zero scripting knowledge, we are taking anyone willing to help and able of atleast basic scripting (i.e. being able to independantly propose ways of solving low-complexity problems). There should not be any other requirements.

If you'd for some reason like to take this mantle up, message me, shortly describing just about where does your scripting knowledge reach.


▷ CLOTHING MAKERS ◁

This is probably the most stable one.

Clothing makers can submit clothing to our group's catalog, which is then subsequently added to an in-game store, benefiting from blockage's (hopefully to-increase soon) exposure.

It works fairly simple.
The clothing maker provides clothes to uploaded to the group store and sets their price.
At the end of each month, the clothing maker gets 95% of revenue of total sales, blockage receiving the remaining 5%. This is because we can't reasonably divide the profits for example per item sale, as with the lowest price, 5 Robux, 2 Robux are taken by Roblox's "marketplace fee" and the remaining 3 are pretty poorly distributable to 95% and 5%.

Should you ever decide to take the items off (for whatever reason, e.g. going to sell them elsewhere, not liking the artistic style, anything) it will be done with no penalties or anything.

Unfortunately, there -are- requirements - well, one, really. If you want to publish straight away in the group's catalog, you should have the skill to atleast match the general quality of the items in there. It is not too difficult but I really don't want to host Google image search T-shirts in there. And, important to note: I will not tolerate stolen clothing either.

Should you want to sign up as a clothing maker, feel free to send me a preview of your clothes, or, even better, the clothes you'd like published directly, if you're confident in your skill.

Good thing is that given how this works, even non-BC can have their clothing sold and actually be paid for it.


▷ GRAPHICAL ARTIST ◁

We get those occassionally.

Unfortunately, at the moment there is not nearly enough things to do for the graphical artists we currently have, not to mention any future ones.

This does not mean you can't tag along - we'll be happy to have you - come and talk with us a bit, share some memes. Just don't expect to be drowning in relevant studio-oriented art tasks and requests.

Should you like, send me a message, with some art examples you've done.


▷ TRAINEE ◁

If you have no relevant skills but still would like to help, this might be a good place to begin.

It is currently not quite happening because of the extremely hasty game release BUT I would very much like to have a trainee program in our group, meaning I'll put out video tutorials on various roles and areas of expertise (in the future), you'll see them, probably some other internet learning materials as well and then be assigned to a more skilled studio member to be tutored so you can learn while possibly contributing in small bits to the tutor's own task.

It sounds good in theory, learning is always positive. How it will work out remains to be seen - when it starts. Right now, the trainee position is doing nothing at all. Still, if you'd like to do this in the future and possibly get used to the environment, give me a message saying so and I'll get you into our Discord server.


▷ ANYTHING ELSE ◁

you will need to explain to me in detail. There are random things you could be good at, who knows - writing, music, encouraging chat messages or game testing, to name a few - we can probably have a use for it, to a greater or smaller extent.

So, if you'd like to be a part of blockage as anything other than the five roles above, send me a message explaining what would you precisely like to do among us.



That I think is it for 06042016. I probably forgot a lot of important information but then again - this is highly temporary, before we expand past freelance positions and start proper game projects that don't involve only one person.

Regardless, thanks for considering, if considering or considered.
And forgive any typos and grammar errors.
