I like it, and potentially rename hiring to commissions or smth
i like this idea
so a collab
okay if this gets over 20 reacts for yes ill forward this to management and consider it
no
because the entire channel would be filled by inexperienced 10 year olds who want to "hire" people for free and get 80% of the profits while bringing nothing to the table
if it actually worked it wouldn't be a bad idea but this would degrade the standard of the server because it wont
anyone with actual skills to make a game (scripting, VFX, building, etc) would almost always want payment unless they are really new or working with a friend specifically
so this would just be 99% broke game owners looking for a team
i think part of the point is to give those types of people somewhere to ask
of course only people interested in doing free work are gonna care about that channel. for the most part it means less unsolicited “hiring people for %” in development channels
i mean you guys added the "can help for free" role for a reason
i mean you gotta give small devs a chance to get a team
I disagree
It’s not really fun
You’re working without being sure your game will generate a lot
But if you work in a project and you’re guaranteed to have a payment and the game flops at least you were paid
But if theres no payment throughout the development and the game flops
The work was useless
Real
The devs in this channel would be like
** You are now Level 23! **
🔥✍️💯
again
nobody who wants money is going to care about the channel
this is to cater to the same crowd of people who have the FREE FOR HIRE (or whatever it’s called) role
“we shouldnt have this because nobody who wants money is gonna use it” Like Wut
i mean sure its gonna give me a place to redirect people to
when they do their 9485784584th hiring post in the wrong channel
asking for free workers
ill never look at it so 
"looking for dev team"? More like showing how poor you are instead of fairly paying the people you work with. Get out.
This seems like a free work loophole
Just what I thought.
THERE IS NO LOOPHOLE
YOU GUYS LITERALLY HAVE A ROLE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WORK FOR FREE
WHAT IS THE LOOPHOLE
nobody with this role is technically capable of getting any work because if anybody were to ask them in the server rn they’d get yelled at for not having money
What do you guys have against 14 year olds who have no way to make any money but want to at least Try to make a game with Anyone who is willing. Why is one (1) Discord channel you never have to open so problematic
it seems to me like yalls thought process is “Dam its annoying when people who have no money try to hire other people. Let’s make sure we do absolutely nothing to try to lessen the issue so we can continue to be annoyed by it and forever scratch our heads about what we can do”
jeez
this is literally a fucking twitter thread
tho he's right, really
you gotta consider the smaller devs who need general help with the game
specially begginers
Oh btw @winter olive we got 20+ yesses
alrighttt
Sure but it should only be available for those who are ranked in a skill.
would be empty chat
this would just increase the scams in this server
what is the scam?
people taking a free job and then not getting anything
read that again
or getting % and never getting anything
these kids are idiots
and the people who hire for free take advantage
idiocy is not a scam
we'll guess who has to deal with tons of scam tickets
"deal with" as in Close them for "you did not get scammed, you did free work"
Someone gets hired for free but doesn't get any credit or money in return (if the game releases).
People fire someone after they did work (for free) but their assets were taken from them.
these problems are not exclusive to free work
these are problems you deal with today by people offering money
They are harder to enforce.
how
"i took this job for a percentage and i know the game makes money but im not getting paid"
sounds straightforward to me
how about being fired midway through
how about someone fires you after you worked for free but they take ur assets
how about you worked for free and the user sells your assets - but since u worked for free you don't own them.
that's not how intellectual property works
there is nothing different between how you handle a paid scam vs a worked for free scam
the only difference between the two is the payment method
if we make this channel im plainly saying "we will not enforce any work done without a prior agreement for payment"
i agree i think the venn diagram that would prevent scams but also have ppl acc partake is like nil
the only time ppl wanna make games for free is game jams
That’s for a guaranteed percentage tho
No possible scam really since you’re paid directly by RSC and we keep track of teams
It’s also more likely you’ll make money compared to most other free games
As far as I know, since you worked for free, there is no transaction involved. Therefore, ownership of the work is not actually transferred to the person they worked for unless there is an agreement or contract present stating otherwise.
But it’s not just working for fre
It’s working for credit, profits, and experience
You can still get scammed out of intangible things
You can lose your own work, you can lose out on the games profits, you can miss out on having your name in the game.
Ok but as far as ownership is concerned, I believe the ownership of the assets stays with the creator and does not transfer.
Wdym it doesn’t exist
i can imagine what the chat would be like rn
There is a role for it
that is a legacy role and only protects people from dm advertising
any case of "free work" that doesnt include a friend group
never turns out good
thats excluding the 99.9% chance it would be a scam
it isnt
because 10 year olds want free work doesnt make it a problem bro..
they shouldnt be able to hire a team for free and thats the end of it
it WOULD be a problem if we made the channel if anything
?
u cant be 10 to use discord brw
we might try it out idk
how many posts actually go through and get a team
the message does protect people tho
like yeah this channel is basically "hiring" but without the need for immediate payment and a job
like maybe ur just looking for people to join ur dev team for future projects
maybe looking for a gamejam team out of our server
why would you want a team you dont pay
or just sharing a passion project that someone would be interested in helping
passion project is a way to cover up % work
or just
taking advantage of new people to the industry
well you arent guarenteed pay with competitions
nobody is getting taken advantage of lol
so we said they must have a prior text agreement to make a scam report on it
yes there are
how do you get taken advantage of by waltzing into the “get hired for free” channel and getting hired for free
for all the people that get fucked over by this channel this may protect us but it doesnt change the fact its gonna be an awful idea
first off
i think the ratio of people trying to form a free team and people willing to accept one
will be so astronomically apart
that it makes the channel basically useless
i dont see how that’s relevant to being taken advantage of
the only reason youd ever accept unpaid work is if your new to that skill role
i also don’t think a channel being relatively inactive means it shouldn’t exist
because you dont know how the industry works yet
unless you want to delete a lot of the other channels too
you dont know this game wont become the next blox fruits
idk ur doing a lot of assuming
no, you are making an assumption
ok
thats the same as saying
"this server should be all ages your assuming people under 13 are immature"
what
lol
yes it’s a comparison. not a good one
are you unable to articulate your comparison better
it is a good one
