Great. I looked at your profile and saw some pixel stuff you're working on. Is there anything in particular that you wanna show off? 

Is there a forum where we can talk? My discord userId is allenoooo - we can discuss particulars.

Thanks! 

Hello,

I'm currently building a game. This game will be released pretty far in the future because I'm also building the engine that it uses. The engine is implemented in C23, utilizes an ECS core, and Raylib for hardware abstraction. Still in the very early stages of development. I'm new to C programming, but I have been a professional software engineer for over a decade - so there's a learning curve but the engine is making steady progress. I foresee the game being released in Q4 2027.

The game is heavily influenced by Hyper Light Drifter, but with unique combat mechanics that we can chat about later, if you're interested. The aesthetic that I'm hoping to achieve is pretty similar to HLD. 

I'm looking to collaborate with someone in either the short or long term. I can see multiple project-based commissions working, so something like "pay me X and I'll deliver a main character with 8D movement / idle / attack animations." Though if I'm paying commissions, I'd be interested in seeing your portfolio to gauge whether or not your style would match what I'm looking for. On the other hand, I might also be interested in an inexperienced artist that maybe doesn't have a portfolio. Perhaps in that case the commissions would be low, but you might be able to build a portfolio from this game, or it can turn into a longer term collaboration, or something like that. Point being - I'm open to different kinds of partnerships / commissions / collaborations.

So if you dig the aesthetics of HLD and are an experienced artist looking to make a little extra on the side for some work on a commission-by-commission basis, or an inexperienced artist looking to collaborate and create something together, you should reach out.

Thanks for reading!
