Is this a good employment contract? What would you ask for if it were you signing it?

It’s in an anonymized form until signed. Ignore the header typo, document isn’t finalized until after negotiations.

I’ve been trying to bring on an additional developer and offered these terms, still up for negotiations, but I haven’t heard back from them in about 2 weeks. I used a similar but different contract to sign on two VAs. Keep in mind that there is no prior experience on their part aside from some familiarity with game development on a different engine, and that their profit share is much larger than the VAs but for a shorter duration.

It’s a pretty small project and the first published title under this indie studio name, so expected profits might be a few hundred to a few thousand on the low estimate. I’ll be putting in man hours to spread the word about it, giving out a large number of keys to acquaintances and streamers in the expectation that exposure will be my best chance at turning profit.

You essentually just posted an internal NDA contract. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure this is against the law, I would highly recommend removing this ASAP and contacting an admin to purge the post.

Even with some info redacted, we can see the studio.

Agian, I might be wrong, but if this is something offered to people later on, you should not put it up so public.

((Also we’re not lawyers, do not trust random people online when it comes to legal stuff))

It’s my NDA that I wrote, I’ll take it up with my legal team which is also myself and let you know.

Yeah they said it was cool, we even shook hands on it.
