So this is a small game in scope, and in its heart is about an incremental kingdom builder:
- You build buildings
- Numbers go up
- Everyone is happy. Until you ded.
- Then start again, etc.
The scope of the project should be around a couple of months, including full polish. I think I have the main game(loop) nailed down, so no scope creeps. I let the ending to be quite vague though, so if everything goes right we can another instance later, if everyone is up for it.
From me:
- I do have a company in Hungary under which I plan to release this game as well
- I would like to network here, so in the future maybe more opportunities would open for you or me
- I do this as a hobby, not full time
- I have been programming for 13 years or so, keeping up to date.
- And the current portfolio can be found here: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/lazyplatypus
Generally what you would do as an artist in the collaboration:
- Mainly UI work; this includes 16:9 event illustrations, UI buttons, illustrations of Rulers.
- Cut scenes: There are several cutscenes in the game in regards to "how your reign ended" and these would be needed for the final product
Optionally:
- Later in the development phases if you are capable: the capsule art, and other Steam Page assets
- If you feel like you want to contribute to the 3D scene then feel free to, but it is not obligatory (like with textures, sprites)
- And of course to give your 2 cents to the gameplay, it is quite flexible in terms of what the actual game is about (buildings and events)
Generally what you would do as a sound designer / composer in the collaboration:
- Design music to a medieval, cozy settlement builder game
- Multiple soundtracks for menus, gameplay
- SFX-s for building placements, event resolutions etc.
Optionally:
- And of course to give your 2 cents to the gameplay, it is quite flexible in terms of what the actual game is about (buildings and events)
