Soulmask Content Creator Recruitment

Hey everyone!
This is Soulmask. It's been a solid month since our last test. We dove deep into the 248 pieces of heartfelt feedback from our players and made some seriously important tweaks and changes that mirror what you all had in mind. Case in point, we tossed in a slick new ride, the "Ostrich". It might not take to the skies, but it's your ticket to a safe descent from those dizzying heights. But here's the kicker—we stumbled upon 127 creators crafting content for Soulmask. Picture this: beachfront villas towering five stories high, fearless solo runs against Saber-toothed Predator with no gear on, and 20 tribe members working to keep things running like clockwork. Big thanks to these creators for bringing the heat, and we're stoked to share these epic tales and content with a wider audience.
So, here's the scoop—we're kicking off the first phase of our content creator recruitment plan. Our goal is to give a spotlight to creators who are active, love sharing, and whip up top-notch content. We want to showcase it to a broader crowd.
Since this is our inaugural recruitment drive, we're bound to miss a few beats. Thank you for understanding. This recruitment deal laid out below is on a trial run for a month. We're counting on you, our players, to hit us up with more suggestions and feedback during this time. It's the key to fine-tuning and making things even better down the road.

[How to Apply?]
If you're a content creator who's always in the mix and loves sharing your gaming adventures, we want you on board for Soulmask on YouTube or Twitch.

-Requirements:
YouTube: With 500 subscribers. Twitch: 20+ viewers per stream on average.
Positive and enthusiastic about gaming, passionate about sharing your creations.
A consistently active and healthy channel with a good personal reputation.
Previous experience in live streaming or creating content for survival sandbox games.

-Application:
Apply to join us if you meet the above requirements: https://wja.mobijoygames.com/vm/QyKdnTX.aspx
*After you submit an application, we'll conduct a review based on the above requirements. Once you pass the review, our community admin will contact you.

[What's Expected?]
Once passing the review, you'll be part of an exclusive crew for creators in the community. It's a one-month deal (the review is conducted at the start of each month). Just make sure you create a minimum of 2 pieces of content per month on your platform, each piece no shorter than 2 minutes, or go live for at least 2 hours.
If you can't keep up with content creation, no worries—just give the admin a heads up to step down from your role.

[What's In It For You?]
We'll hook you up with a special user group for creators on DC.
You'll get priority access to testing (we anticipate a content-specific PVE test in mid-January, with 2-5 activation codes for each Soulmask creator).
Top-notch creators might score an early-access EA code (details are a work in progress, and we'll fill you in later).
Our official social media squad will team up to shine a spotlight on killer content and get it in front of more players.

If you don't make the cut this time around, don't sweat it. We've got more specialized testing plans in the pipeline, including PVP server tests and broader player test experiences. Keep an eye out for updates from me.
