Contributing

Violet's Revenge is an open-source externship and portfolio project. It is structured to recruit laid-off developers and students who need practicum hours — people who need real shipped work, not just exposure.

Licenses

Code: MIT Art, audio, and lore: CC BY-NC 4.0

Revenue Model

Milestone-based rev-share (Rev-Share Point System) after cost recoupment and an operations reserve. Contributors earn rev-share points tied to shipped milestones, not hours logged.

Who We're Looking For

Developers — any skill level; the game is open source and the repo is public Artists — character art, environment, UI; design direction is gothic forensics, horror noir Writers — lore, narrative, dialogue; the canon and character sheets are in the wiki QA/Playtesters — the Phase 1 prototype is accessible via the Discord server

How to Get Playtester Access

Playtester access to the Discord is not via an application form. Players must win the HTML game (Phase 1 prototype) to receive a QR code or link that grants entry.

Studio Values

People over Profits. No heavy legal or contractual complexity between collaborators. Rev-share is the model. The work is the credential.
