Heya there, looking for writers and artists for a ps1 anthology game, mainly horror, but I’ll take non horror as well. It’s a hobby/unpaid project for the love of the game and because i don’t like “PS1/PSX style” games that don’t actually look like PS1 games (nothing against the games, but I’d really prefer them just being called low poly).
Writers: Looking for people who want their stories playable on a PS1. Would be nice if you also have ideas on how you want them to be implemented in a game format.
Artists (2D): Mainly looking for UI graphics, but if a story requires or is enhanced through 2D parts it would be nice to have someone here as well.
Artists (3D): I can do crude low poly models myself, but having somebody actually good at it would be appreciated, so if you like to bash your head against a wall until you have a good looking ~400 Tris model (or up to ~1k with a lot of pure flat shading instead of textures) contact me.
Not looking for composers currently, but feel free to send me samples, if the need comes up I’ll get back to you.
I’ve made 2 homebrew games previously: https://achrostel.itch.io/unnamed-psx-homebrew-game https://achrostel.itch.io/penguins-ss25 (Gameplay timestamped: https://youtu.be/NyM583tldlo?&t=2061). The framework I’m building on is still heavily WIP, but it has everything ones heart might desire for making games, so I feel confident in being able to make this a reality.
So if you want to make something that runs on 30 year old hardware or have further questions give me a way to contact you in a comment or add me on discord: achrostel
