What your contributions would entail:
I would do voice calls while doing share screen using Microsoft Teams (free personal edition is what we use) and point to this and that and brainstorm on this or that item or idea or vision). Ultimately, I'm hoping for you to take over part of my daily and weekly efforts reviewing and vetting shop releases as they evolve and take shape, and then a final vetting for each release). This would involve a few hours a week, and would grow to more hours a week if it looks like you can take over more of my role in vetting and guiding for each shop release). But I would always be involved since the ramp up to full mastery of this area of endeavor is a never ending challenge. If you live close enough, I live in Santa Clara, you can occasionally come over for in person brainstorm sessions. I work out of my home. Time of day and week is quite flexible. It can be evenings, daytime and/or weekends. The important thing is, you are the right fit and can contribute a lot.
We have considerable history of shop releases from which to review (depending on decor and/or cultural theme). We review what has already been done, how to take old concepts and evolve into new approaches. For instance, for the Halloween Season, it's all about ghosts and vampires and witches, pumpkins and such, but we dream up new angles and ideas to keep the releases fresh using the same stereotypes again and again. Our mantra here is: familiar but with a twist. A lot of "what ifs" are brainstormed through. I'm lucky enough to be in a field where they saying is: The more fun you have, the more fun players will have and therefore the greater the success of the shop release.
As for the total number of hours in a month, I can see anywhere between 10 to 25 hours a month. It's not necessary to have worked in the gaming world although that's always a plus. But we're such a niche game, so focused on the expansive space of culture / decor / fashion, that game mechanics play much less of a role. But it's imperative that you love or have loved playing games, currently playing or have played a lot in the past.
