New Non Paid and Deferred Paying Positions available at ULU
Hello,
This is Lee with UDK Learning University. We are now looking for people that would like to be a part of a fast growing community. UDK Learning University will change the way new aspiring indie game developers will learn their trade. We are streamlining the process for new game developers to learn faster and retain more than they could with the UDN and tutorials.
Like the name implies UDK Learning University, will have classes instead of only tutorials. Each of our courses will have an actual instructor on hand to answer questions, help with problems, and push the students to do better. Within each course, there will be written tests and projects to ensure students are retaining what they have learned. Each of our instructors goal is to have the students be able to apply what they have learned by the time they move on. We will have a statistics and survey system in place to ensure that we have objective feedback to improve everything we do.
Positions Available
Currently, we have 2 types that are deferred payment positions and a few others that will be volunteer for the time being.
The deferred pay positions are as follows
Instructors
Instructors will be responsible creating and maintaining a course curriculum. They will have interaction with students from around the world and will need to dedicate 1 five hour block a week to the course and students. Each instructor should have at least 18 months of experience in the trade within the volunteer, indie, or professional networks. Each instructor should not only have the desire to teach, but strive help other succeed. Instructors will have editorial power over any videos created for their course by others and may request minor changes if the course needs it.
Tutorial Team
If you are looking at one of these positions, you will need a capture program (Camstia Pro or CamStudio only). Your computer of course needs to be able to run the programs needed for the specific tutorials that are being created. UDK, 3DS Max, Maya, Zbrush, Mudbox, Photoshop CS5, are the main software applications used in tutorials. Each video tutorial will be broken down into small chunks for easy digestion by the students.
Since all of the courses are project based, any needed files that are not created during the tutorial need to be submitted to the instructor. These files must be royalty & license free. These assets are openly available for every student to use without a license. At ULU, we respect content creators copyright.
The videos need to be recorded at 720p or better. The video creator should have at least 18 months experience working with the subject they is working with. Each video content creator will need to speak fluent English.
Please note: Instructors can be video content creators, and vice versa. This allows ULU to be fluid and meet tough challenges head on.
Payment System
Instructors will receive 30% of each sale of the course.
Video creators will also make 30% from each course sale.
Again, instructors and video content persons can work on both, and receive payment for both.
The other positions are with our sister company, Fraktured Games.
They are
These positions are volunteer at the moment, but will be converted to pay as soon for our second game based on royalties. They require knowledge of UDK in their respective fields.
If you are interested in any of these positions you can contact me here by PM, at: archievision@udklearning.com, or at: www.udklearning.com/forum
Thank you for your time, and interest,

Do not let this opportunity pass you by because you are too skeptical. You will miss out on a ground floor opportunity that you will kick yourself for in a year. Once these positions are filled the only time we will do any more recruiting is when we lose a partner. We do not have employee's here.
If you are tired of feeling like a number, and beholden to a boss that could give a crap less about you. Come by our chat and talk to some of our team members and Admins. You will see real fast, we are more like a family. Not cut throats looking to step on the next guy to get a job that pays 1/2 of what it should. WE all know what it is like to be stepped on and discouraged from a dream. And we all take extra care to help the team to succeed. Come hell or high water, we are all in this together, and will make sure we all come through.
We are what I envisioned as the true creative game design company. Where we not only are making fun and exciting games, but where we care enough to teach others how to realize their creative talents as well.
Talk to me or VIPTampa on the UDKLearning forums and you will see what I mean.
Thanks,
Lee
