At QByte Studios, we use the term 'contributor' because it better reflects our collaborative culture, but legally, all contributors are independent contractors. This change acknowledges the value of everyone's work and the potential for future compensation. The term 'volunteer' implies there will never be payment, which is not the case at QByte Studios.

We believe in fairly compensating everyone who contributes to our projects. Once a game generates revenue, it is distributed based on each contributorโs level of involvement and agreed-upon shares. Net revenue refers to the profit remaining after covering all expenses, including taxes, operational costs, and platform fees. The specifics of revenue distribution are discussed and documented before revenue is generated to ensure fairness and clarity for all contributors.
We use a net revenue-sharing model: after covering necessary expenses, contributors are compensated first, and leadership is compensated last. While leadership decisions remain with the CEO, contributors participate equally in project-related creative discussions and development processes. This model emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and shared responsibility while maintaining clear leadership and financial accountability.

No mandated hours & work from anywhere: We follow a "contribute as much or as little as you want, whenever you want" approach. Contributors engage with projects based on their availability and capacity. As a fully remote team, you can work from anywhere. We prioritize quality over quantity, meaning that the impact of your contributions matters more than the hours you put in.
