We've all seen @Kenneth's incredible, game changing, SP mods, he could be qualified of being an actual developer in Jundroo.

TO CLEAR UP FURTHER CONFUSION. I AM NOT SPECIFYING ON HIS MAPS, I'M TALKING ABOUT HIS OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT MAPS

Poll Summary and people's opinion

Summary: More than half of the people want Kenneth to become a part of the Jundroo development team, mostly due to his creative ability to make mods, and maps in SP.

"Kenneth's experiences of modding and creative state of mind is who we need in this game he could come up with more maps more ideas he would listen to the advice of the community and although he said “unfortunately being a dev is soooo much different than goofing around and creating random simple stuff bc people and like it” well the thing is if people like it that is brilliant because it goes to show the content of his mind is a mastermind yes despite he is still a high school student dose not mean he can’t be a dev in the future he even might replace the current devs in the future who knows? "
-@Numbers

However, many people disagree as well. Mostly because even if he has a great capability to create maps, it wouldn't make him worthy to become a dev, since making mod maps in game isn't that hard.

"I have to agree with XJ4B, and none of it is personal. Being able to make something good for the game doesn't immediately make you a game developer. That's like asking if Bogdan can become a dev so his builds can replace all the bot controlled planes by default. That doesn't make sense at all."
-@Mostly

"no, trust me making map mods is not developer worthy. Its far easier to do than most people think, especially when you borrow assets."

No, unfortunately being a dev is soooo much different than goofing around and creating random simple stuff bc people and like it and I enjoy it, I doubt the real devs would ever let me since I haven’t even finished secondary school o_o . Heck I’m better at Zulu than C#. Thanks for the post though, I appreciate it :D

@Kennneth I personally think that though what you said is true, this post didn't consider WHAT TYPE of dev you'd be. There's usually teams for different aspects. You'd make it easier for them if they had to handle the coding and modelling, while you worked as the guy who is using the models, coded mechanics and ideas of the code into level designs in ways that work well. With all due respect to jundroo staff and pre-stating that Simpleplanes is amazing as is... Jundroo's strong points are ABSOLUTELY not level design. Forget just good looking maps... I find it hard to say that any geology within the current simpleplanes just does not work with the idea of aircrafts... There's so much potential like bases and such- Stuff you've added in your maps- but none of it is there in the base game. The most we had for the past 11 years now is just the USS beast fleet among other things that go lower and lower on how frequently they are attacked.

I also want to mention that you could work not as a dev, but a tester. Criticising their maps in extreme early beta tests will really help give some sense of polish in Simpleplanes 2

@Phox Like he stated, Modding maps and coding an entire game with complex physics calculations like in SP... those are two different things. Now.. that said... If Jundroo has a a level designer vacancy...
