-: Company Overview VAS is a Gaming Studio that came to life from the founders of "Vigilant Addiction" which was once a Gaming Community for friends to hang out and play multiple games with through their years and stay connected. We are looking for people with that "Lead" mentality; perhaps you've had experience in a large Studio and wish to move into a smaller Studio family and push into a Lead role, or maybe you have the talent and desire but lack the 'paper education' for that large Studio job. VAStudios is based out of Houston, TX but an online Independent Video Game Studio.

Vigilant Addiction Studios is putting together two new project teams for 2015 releases. Our first successful Indie Game "Adventurer Manager" was Greenlit on Steam, currently in Early Access, and releasing on December 4th, 2014.
--/ Quick Project/Studio Info:
// Unity & Unreal Engines //
// Remote Positions // - Everyone is located remotely and works from their home office. Anyone across the Pacific to East coast time-zones is what we're looking for and will fit into current timelines.
// Shared Profits // - Everyone is given a percentage profit of the game earnings that they work on. These percentages are determined across three stages of the development process; Guaranteed, Established, and Raised (Explained in the Interview).
// It's a Hobby // - Our work ethic is strong, loyal, and committed. Most of us are Gamers and we create games as a Hobby and therefore our time commitments are only expected of that, a hobby. Weekly/Monthly goals are presented and you work at your own pace to achieve those goals set for you and the project. If you can apply 40+ hours a week to the project; that's excellent, and the project will complete earlier than expected, resulting in a quicker timeline to Early Access which is generally your first pay-check. (Note: Be able to attend one Weekly Meeting, via Google Hangout.)
// You'll Earn What You Put In // - Due to our Profit Sharing methods and more 'Laid-Back' commitment; you can expect to get what you put into the project. The more active and available you are... the quicker the project can complete, or get into Early Access phases, and the faster everyone will begin earning a deposit. (Note: Please have an available bank account setup for Direct Deposit)
--/ What We're Looking For
We seek individuals that have a passion to create and be in control of their work. Teams are generally small (5-8 people) with everyone being their own 'lead' and two people tagged as the Game Designer/Producer and acting lead of the project. It's also very common for everyone to assist each other outside of their roles as you will have the opportunity to shape the game as you work on it, regardless of your main role/talents.
We currently have one project that needs a few roles filled: Unreal/Unity Programmer(s) & Character Animation Specialist
We have two Game Projects in the design phase. You may end up working on these; or pitching your own project.
If you have a Game Design that you want complete; we can help you with that. Before you share/discuss your Game Project, we will sign documentation that will protect you and your Game Project if we don't pick you up.
