• Artists (Pre-Release), standalone 3D models and concept art may be approved for portfolios during development on a case-by-case basis.
• Programmers (Strict Lockdown), gameplay code, repository files, and backend scripts are trade secrets. To protect the game from being copied or exploited, source code cannot be shared publicly under any circumstances, even after release. Programmers can list their technical achievements on a resume, but the actual code remains strictly confidential and property of Veilbreaker Studios.

• Fast Hiring Process, no weeks of waiting around. We review applications and onboard talent quickly.

Financial Status & Future Outlook

• Current Unpaid Status, every member of Veilbreaker Studios—including leadership—is currently a 100% unpaid volunteer. No financial compensation exists right now.

Confidentiality and Security (NDA Required Eventually)

• Legal Agreement: All team members must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before gaining access to the game repository or asset files.
