Hello. We are Braveshell Studio, and we are looking for a community manager to help with our first video game.

About our Studio:

At Braveshell we make a variety of digital/interactive products/projects. We do client-based work to support our ultimate goal of making our own video games. Braveshell is owned by three people, all based in Alberta, who all work full time. And we also have a team of a dozen freelancers/contractors we draw on for various projects, many of whom we have worked with for many wonderful years. We have recently acquired some funding to start developing our first video game prototype, and we need a community manager for our first game, Storm Sphere! We don’t have any pages up for our game yet, but our client-facing website is here if you want to check it out.

About Storm Sphere:

Storm Sphere is a Turn-Based Combat Detective RPG in a world of sky. Get ready for airship combat, arcane mysteries, and a swashbuckling adventure. Players will set out to save their secret home from being sacrificed to the Voltaic storm that holds the spheres of Azura together. Gather a party of characters and a growing fleet of airships in a skyward quest to find the materials for an ultimate alchemy spell — by solving an ancient mystery of destruction and creation.

We have a great story, a lot of cool new gameplay systems, and a really fun skyworld to adventure through. Plenty of exciting things to share with a community! Which brings us to…

About our Community Manager:

Overall, we’re a positive team that values people and living a good life above all else. We treat people well. We pay on time. We never want people burning out. If we’re not all having fun, then what’s the point? So we’re looking for a community manager who will enjoy working in that environment. We need someone to help us get our Storm Sphere community up and running and then manage it on an ongoing basis.

• Establish our Discord community
• Engage with relevant online gaming communities and influencers on Discord, Reddit, Youtube, etc. 
• Interact with our growing community on a regular basis
• Set up socials and schedule a social media calendar
• Help us facilitate closed playtests and a feedback loop with our community

About the Details:

Here are is some high level information so you have an idea of the position, know if it makes sense for your needs and your schedule.

• $20,000 (CAD) contract position over 10 months. These numbers may change a little in one direction or the other. It’s dependent on our grant funding sources. But this is a reasonable baseline we feel comfortable sharing. 
• This is a part-time position. So you’d be free to manage your own time, and take on other contracts/projects/etc. As long as the work is getting done, getting done well, and we’re in touch on a regular basis, we’re happy. 
• Our Community Manager must be a Canadian resident. That’s a criteria of our grant funding.
• Remote work. We all work remotely so you can be anywhere in Canada and we’re all good.
