At some degree we are open to suggestions and new ideas, so you have plenty of artistic freedom. For more informations send us an email at flippedbox [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com with your portfolio link and/or samples. You will receive test task(s) that will prove you're man (or woman :) of actions, not words. This project is unpaid, so far we don't have much funds but we are decided to put commitment into it and will continue this long journey. All of the roles require highly motivated spirits that are willing to put lot of effort in this project and also good communication skills are essential.

You will be asked to sign an NDA after completing test task(s) and before entering our team (over 18's only).

What you gain:

- experience
- you can use your works on portfolio (assets not breaching NDA, ie plot unrelated, for models this means renders only, not downloadable 3d models)
- be part of fun and original project (your name will me mentioned in credits)
- possible future compensation when project gets successful (we have in mind several funding scenarios)

FAQ

1. I want to help but I don't have any particular skill. Can I contribute to the project in any way?
Yes, actually there are few ways you can help. First and easiest way would be spreading the word about us and project we are working on. Tell your friends, family and even your dog (as long as s/he can play our game :) about us! The simplest way would be to subscribe to our social media channels - twitter, facebook and youtube. Another way would be to support us financially, since we do not have the privilage to have a publisher patting our backs. We are preparing few solutions that will allow you to do that.

2. Do I need to send CV or resume?
No, that's not a must. We prefer seeing portfolis, samples and links to projects you were involved in.

3. I am under 18. Can I join the team?
We are sorry but only over 18's can join the team because you will need to sign an NDA contract from the day one.
