Yeah! The gameplay is gonna be akin to games like Undertale and Graveyard Keeper where it's a mix of overworld exploration and interaction and UI-based minigames, ours will be focused around creating art. As for position requirements, we mostly just want someone with experience doing level design. Being familiar with Godot is definitely helpful but not necessary. We'd like to find someone who is somewhat familiar with how game art is created as they are going to be directly collaborating with our art team to create the world of Spiritwood.

Hello Again!
You may have seen me around the indie game sphere. I am the founder of a hobbyist development team called BitMouse Digital and we are currently looking for a level designer!
Our Team!
I am the project director and lead writer. We have two Godot programmers, a composer, a writer, and two artists.
The Project!
Spiritwood is a story-driven RPG that focuses on creating art, making friends, and improving the beautiful world you play in. We will have quests, friendships, puzzles, and more for you to explore and learn.
The World!
The town of Port Idowis is a creative, locally sustained, and close-knit community with a busy urban-ish development and slow paced rural-ish locale. We want Port Idowis to feel realistic and alive. Your hand in this will be working alongside our artists to create, arrange, and scale the map, as well as internal rooms. You will also help with other art related side tasks like differentiating between accessible (playable) and non-accessible (non-playable) areas, or making a map workup to scale for our artists to build on top of. Art experience is preferred but not required.
Commitment!
We are looking for a new, enthusiastic member of our team! You will be along with us for the long-term journey of Spiritwood's creation and hopefully see it through to the end! We are working with zero budget at the moment so compensation is currently full credit (even if you leave the project).
If you think you would be the right person for this position or have any questions, you can add me on Discord @_cardboardbox or email me at cardboardbox.bmd@mail.com (not gmail)
Thanks for the read! :]

Hi all!
We are BitMouse Digital, a small group of hobbyists working on our first title! We are currently comprised of me (cardboardbox), the director and lead writer, my roommate (the lead artist), and a programmer. We are also in talks with various composers and assistant writers.
Our project is an unnamed 2D top-down story-driven RPG inspired by the likes of Stardew Valley. The core mechanics of the game focus on creating art, while there is also a large cast of characters the player can build relationships with and some fun activities to participate in! It also has queer themes, so we are only accepting members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community.
While the idea has been in the works since March of this year, it's only been my roommate and I until about a month ago. We are still in the planning and prototyping stages, but we are looking for specific talent in order to move forward into production. Provided we find everyone we currently need this month, we'd like to have an early prototype by the end of the year, and a demo sometime next summer (for crowdfunding!!) This is a long-term project!
Keep in mind we are only hobbyists, most of us are university students, and we are not able to provide anyone with a salary. We will only ask for a little bit of your free time and not to make our project your top priority (unless you want to, then we won't stop you.)
If you would like to hear more about our project or to show us some of your work, you can either email me, add me on Discord, or reply here! Thank you for taking the time to read! Hope you have a wonderful day :)
