Hello! We need a Godot 4+ (GDScript) programmer who can, or wants to learn, how to implement multiplayer. IMPORTANT: the game is planned as singleplayer at the early stage, but it should run as a local server - basically making a singleplayer build that’s ready for multiplayer later. Let’s get to the point!
Saiio is a 3d survival game with top view and 2D characters, creatures and objects, inspired by Don’t Starve Elsewhere, Hytale and Cult of the Lamb
In a harsh world you must keep your sanity, gather resources, build a base and fight monsters and bosses. The world is ruled by RIFTS - a constant source of chaos. Rifts bring creatures, resources, events and more
YOU MUST HELP A CRAZY OLD MAN! The old man wants to close the Rifts and restore a race that was destroyed by them (this race may haunt you when your sanity breaks)
Core loop: gather resources/food → craft/build → explore the world or Rifts → fight monsters/bosses → repeat
The battle system looks like top-down shooter directions(hit to the cursor's position) + several types of weapons with different areas of effect (like: spear attacks in long area, sword attacks in half-circle area etc), all creatures attack like that too
Technical details:
The 3D world is procedurally generated, I’d like to support seeds as well
Characters/players will be animated in a skeletal/cut‑out style, other animations (environmental effects, mobs) will use sprites for optimization (otherwise my laptop will explode)
For the first stage we need a local server system for singleplayer - this is preparation for multiplayer. It’s easier to start with a server architecture now than to rewrite everything later
About me and the team:
I’m a 15‑year‑old Russian guy (time zone UTC+3). I can be loud and make terrible jokes, but I’m passionate about Saiio
We have a 2D artist - a positive person - but no programmer yet. We don’t bite :D
What I’m looking for from you:
Portfolio (if you have one), what games or projects you worked on, and any relevant experience.
I don’t have a portfolio - this is my first serious project - but I can help with “boring” tasks: importing sprites into the engine, creating game resources, etc. I just need someone to show me what to do
I also have a small, very simple prototype. Link - https://youtu.be/U0EqzSFufvw?si=GGeNqWwxb3vrLhMx
