Steering Committee Search

Hi everyone! We're looking for a few people to serve on the PixelWalker Steering Committee. The purpose of the committee is to help discuss and formulate the future of the game and benefit from other perspectives rather than only from the Game Administrators. Members of the committee would provide recommendations on both features and items to focus on. Terms for serving are a maximum of 6 months, unless the Game Administrators asks a member to serve additional time.

Requirements

• Must be active on Discord.

• Must be active on PixelWalker.

• Must be a member of the following categories: 1x Builder, 1x Player, 1x Programmer, 1x Elected At-Large Seat.

• Must be able to maintain confidentiality.

How to Apply

• Please DM a Game Administrator on Discord before May 28th 8:00AM (CT) before if you are interesting on serving on the committee.

• Provide your in-game username and a reason why you would be a good fit to serve on the committee.

• Specify a single category that you most associate with. If opting for an At-Large seat, then you will be an option that can be voted on by the community.

Questions

• If you have any questions, please ask them in the #general channel in the Discord server.
