We need a Community Lead
Hello readers! Quetoo 1.0.0 shipped in May. Since then:
- 90 engine releases
- ~1,500 commits
- 3 mods
- 4 maps
- 5 selectable movement systems
- A fully customizable HUD
- In-game editor enhancements
The list goes on. And essentially nobody outside our Discord knows any of this happened 🫠
Current social media presence
- Discord (discord.gg/unb9U4b) — 400+ members, ~20 active on a given day
- Facebook (Quetoo.org) — 615 followers
- YouTube (@WickedOldGames) — 155 subscribers; our most popular video, the one above, has 4,500 views
The thing is: the people who find Quetoo tend to stick around. But practically nobody finds Quetoo 💀 We’re building a fun and beautiful game, but failing to promote it and draw in players.
So we’re looking for someone who can do that!
The role
Community and Marketing Lead.
You will own our blog and all of our socials. You’ll be the voice of Quetoo.
- Social media posts, collages, clips, screenshot-of-the-week, whatever actually works on the platforms you know.
- Video production: trailers, feature spotlights, match highlights, devlogs. Whatever you’re good at.
- Community liason: active in our Discord, welcoming new players, surfacing community content, etc.
- Champion Quetoo talk with content creators, map jammers, modders, and tournament organizers.
Who you are
- You love Quake. You own Quake merch. You have a “Q” tattoo, or have considered one.
- Extroverted. This job is largely talking to people, in public, cheerfully.
- Self-directed. We need someone who can ship content and stay engaged without a lot of hand-holding. If you love to play Quake, take screenshots, record demos and turn them into videos, you probably have what we’re looking for!
You don’t need to be a programmer, a mapper, or a marketing professional. Taste and follow-through beat credentials here.
What it pays
Nothing. This is a volunteer role on a volunteer project. We’ve never made a dime on Quetoo and we never will. In fact, it actually costs about $100/mo in hosting and infra to run this project. 🤑 This is a labor of love.
What we can offer is real: prominent credit in the game itself and on the website, a lead role and dedicated status in the Discord, full creative ownership of the voice and the channels, a portfolio’s worth of published work with your name on it, as well as a seat at the table in steering the game.
Interested?
Say hello on Discord. No portfolio is required — but if you’ve made something you’re proud of, a video, a post, a community you’ve run, we’d love to see it.
Thanks!
