Given that you're aiming to make a profit, I would think most builders would ask why you take a cut and they don't. Why not offer all builders a deal like "X% of profit until a cap of ($Y per approved zone) is reached"?
Angelstone is only valuable if the game takes off and stays up. If the game folds, it immediately has zero value. A contract of the form I suggested would only require that the game launch successfully for the short run (enough for the builders to hit their caps), without burdening you in the long run.
We recruit all of our staff (we don't have "builders"-- all staff are cross-trained) from our playerbase. You don't have an existing playerbase, but you do have a resource we don't-- potential salaries. Otherwise, be willing to accept that you aren't going to be able to hold volunteers to a rigid schedule or commitment.
