I'm impressed by everything you've done solo.

I agree that the colors of the text box and names can be a bit hard to read sometimes.

The storytelling is this game's strongest point, but you did good on everything else as well : music, graphics, coding, the global vibes of the game. Good job. :)

Who am I ?

Hi there, I'm Chatpelier, a 37 y/o french guy who's never worked in the gaming industry. I've dabbled a lot in making board games and card games (sometimes over several years), sometimes on my own, sometimes with other people. I have a solid understanding of game design and game balancing, especially regarding card games. I've even playtested some pro stuff before.

I dabble in art and design, but I'm far from being as good as most people here. Here's something I've drawn last year :

And here's what I'm been working on regarding the current game I wanna make :


What's the project ?
I've created a PvP TCG game system last year, which works pretty well and has some really interesting gameplay ideas that shifts how you think about a mana system in a TCG.
I like that system a lot, and would like to translate that into a PvE TCG Roguelike. Think Slay the Spire and Wildfrost regarding some elements such as : map and progression, upgrading cards, ascensions, but with a totally different combat system.
The good thing is, I have a solid idea of exactly how the game plays and progresses, as well as Classes, card archetypes, UI, and a lot more.
Bad thing are : I can't code, I just have some basic knowledge, and I'm pretty slow at making art (and only have the level shown above - though I'm still pretty pleased with how the card looks).


Who am I looking for, and on what conditions ?
I'm looking for a programmer that'd be willing to split profit 50/50 if we do make any (profit). So, I'm basically looking for a partner.
Hopefully we can release the game on Steam.
The game will be in 2D, the battles should be displayed in top view so that it's easier to read. So I suppose Unity would be the best tool ? Though, like I said, I only have basic knowledge regarding programming.
Do note that I'm autistic (though I'm "high functionning" whatever that means), so I can sometimes have communication issues (i.e. misunderstand what you're telling me). If you have issues with working with people with disabilities, then you know beforehand and can skip this thread.

So what now ?

If you're interested, leave a message here explaining why you'd like to work with me, what's your skillset, and please leave me a way to contact you, preferably on discord. If you speak french or english, that's perfect (do note my accent is decently thick, so sorry ^^). I'd prefer to work with someone with a timezone similar to mine, for obvious reasons, like I said, I'm french so Paris time.

Wishing you all a nice day. :)
