Section 1: Understanding what we do here!

We are a gaming clan that makes games in a game-creation tool called Ylands!

:::::::::::::::::: What is Ylands ::::::::::::::::::

Ylands is like: 

🎮 Roblox mixed with ⚒️ Minecraft

🎮 Roblox  -> it's a platform for people to make games, publish them to an already-active community of players, & monetize them. 

⚒️ Minecraft  -> It's highly-important DLC "Exploration" is like Minecraft 2.0

:::::::::::::::::: Who we are ::::::::::::::::::

P1 is a community of positive, friendly & mature gamers. We put "people first", LOVE our community and banish drama & strife. 

P1 Creators are people who LOVE making games for fun. We then split the benefits & give 100% of our earnings back to our community in a "people first" spirit. 

Together we: 

✅ We made the official lobby for Ylands

✅ We won 1st & 2nd in the first Chinese competition

✅ Proudly sponsored by Nitrado!

:::::::::::::::::: What we do ::::::::::::::::::

The chinese publisher of Ylands regularly does massive $30,000 competitions for Ylands. We have exclusive international access to those competitions. 

1️⃣ We make games in Ylands

2️⃣ We enter them into competitions

3️⃣ We give 100% of the profits back to the community 

The community then donates a TON back in thanks & we use that to hire people like you!

:::::::::::::::::: Why we love Ylands ::::::::::::::::::

1️⃣ Amazing community - Somehow the relaxing theme and bright colors bring some of the most friendly, kind and generous people in the gaming world. I feel so lucky to lead such a positive community. 

2️⃣ Simple - Literally anyone can learn game development in Ylands. It's a great way to begin to learn how to code! Also, everyone is super-helpful and willing to video-chat & get you un-stuck. 

3️⃣ Paid-to-learn - Tencent does these competitions often, in no other game do you get rewarded so much for having fun!  

4️⃣ 1 month projects - No dragging your feet for years only to see no one download your game. Build a game in 1-2 months & it's celebrated & appreciated by thousands. 

5️⃣ Huge potential - I believe Ylands will be the next Roblox but with a more-mature audience. I talk with the people at Tencent and I get the sense this is their big sandbox play. They are putting tons of resources behind it and are making it part of programming education in China. 

::::::::::::: Your Role: :::::::::::::

If you saw this already, skip. 

Summary

Your role is to be a traditional community manager on one hand mixed with a game creation team leader.

Let me explain, every 2 months or so Tencent holds a competition for “best creation” in Ylands. These are ALL held in China. We are the only outside-china team to have access.

We compete with Chinese teams to win the competitions: https://ylands.qq.com/cp/a20180510jianzhu/prize.htm

No one on the team is building/programming for the money, everyone is just having fun. Your job is to help people have the fun and make sure they get rewarded.

Details:

Recruiting

Training

Creating Community

Game Creation

Submissions

Weekly Party

Recruiting -- Post on Reddits and Discords to bring people in. Share our work on social media, get in touch with BI about what we are up to and encourage them to publish it.

Training -- We have a comprehensive system which encourages people to learn the basics. Your job is to bring people through that system step by step.

Creating Community -- Build that sense of community by encouraging people to share their progress on the Discord, develop discussions around what we are up to as a team.

Game Creation -- Pair great builders with great developers, help feed them ideas and shape their creativity to fit upcoming Tencent and BI competitions.

Reports -- Some reports on who did what.

Submissions -- Work with our partners in Tencent to submit any games people want monetized.

Weekly Party -- Get people hyped about the weekly parties and bring them down. Then lead the weekly parties with a stream. I will be there as health allows.

To be clear: You are NOT doing all these tasks you are just responsible for them. The key will be to delegate as much as possible. 

:::::::::::::::::: Ideal Candidate ::::::::::::::::::

✅ Shares our values!
✅ Willing/eager to learn game design (experience not required)
✅ Born leader, able to lead events, streams, videos!

✅ Someone able to do hard work, learn on the job, stretch themselves.

❌ You do not have to be a programmer!

❌ You can't just tell others what to do, you need to get in, learn the editor and be part of the teams you lead. 
 

Section 2: Basic info!

Before you do anything else, if you have not already, come join our Discord, we would love to have you come visit: https://discord.gg/Ju82y7g

Our community is primarily a group of gamers who love making things. The key to leading such a group is not to push them as if they are employees, everyone is just there to have fun😄!

Before you do anything else, you need to understand what Ylands is. 

Ylands is like:

Roblox mixed with Minecraft

Roblox -> it's a platform for people to make games, publish them to an already-active community of players & monetize them.

Minecraft -> It's highly-important DLC "Exploration" is like Minecraft 2.0 

How does P1 Creators make money? 

To be clear, funds are not the priority, community is. The well-being of our members and the quality of the connections we create is our focus. 

Making funds: 

Our goal is to be exceedingly generous to our creators:
 --- Helping creators monetize their creations
 --- Helping them finish their games and ideas by connecting them with people who can help 
 --- Helping market their games

We intend to do all this for free with our P1-attitude of putting them first. 

When people see we are truly on their side we will be an awesome community and funds will sort themselves out just as they have been.

However, right now Ylands is too small for that. In the future we hope to become THE hub where all creators connect, meet & build awesome stuff.

Currently, P1 Creators has made the majority of its funds via winning HUGE $30,000 competitions held by Tencent which Tencent does on a regular basis. 

So far people have donated incredibly generously, up to 90% of their winnings to make P1 florish and hiring people possible. 

Like what you see?

If you LOVE empowering people, if you LOVE our values of putting people first then this position is right for you. If these two things are not in your DNA, move on. 

Ok, it's time for the actual application! 

The current situation: 

My health has really been preventing me from leading P1 Creators properly for some time now. Volenteer-help did not do the trick.

We need someone who can really take on this project with passion and bring it back to it's glory days.  When we started we had almost 100 active creators at any given time. That is down to 10%.

With strength I know I could get it back up there but it's my time to help someone else lead. 

We need someone willing to put in the hours and the hard work that will not only save but grow this business and community and we are more than happy to share the rewards if you can do it.

The next two questions are very important for us, they are the most likely to decide whether we are able to hire you or not. Please be honest and strait forward.

Really important: We just talked about how much you want to be paid per MONTH now we are talking about how many hours of work you want to do per WEEK for that pay. Notice the difference between MONTH and WEEK here.
