We are looking for game designers who have actual experience implementing their ideas, for example mods or simple game jam games would be fine. This is because game design is quite iterative and we think concrete experience working in a team that tries to implement your ideas and changing your ideas on the fly, is really a core activity for a game designer.
So we want actual game design experience before accepting a new game designer, in order to avoid “ideas people” from joining the team.
I think pixel art doesn’t fit in with Thrive’s style, so we will probably have 0 pixel art in the game.
We try to only accept people who have shown they have the skills to do something useful in the team.
Yes. So far no one has sent in so many applications that the application reviewers have gotten tired of that person.
For the official credits on the wiki, those are usually only updated once you have made a concrete contribution.
