* We are a team of 10 devs from various countries working remotely.

* We value honest feedback, being mission driven and pursuing hard challenges.
* We believe in giving you the agency and creative freedom to bring your best work forward.

* With just our Alpha launch we built relationships with youtubers from Minecraft, MMO and Roblox (totaling millions of followers).
* Plans to integrate NFT collectibles and crypto transactions, tapping into another multi-billion-dollar market in the future.
* We are preparing to approach investors in the coming months to secure funding now that we are in a good place for team expansion.
* We are committed to launching it ourselves regardless, which puts us in a strong negotiating position with investors.
* Pre-funding team members will receive **equity**. After funding, developers will initially earn **$50-80k salaries**. After profits, **salary increases and bonuses** will be given. This is your chance to get in with equity before it shifts to salary-only.
