Seeking Godot/Unity dev, watercolor artist, ambient composer • 2-week vertical slice • non-extractive.

Reply with portfolio + 2 lines on why it resonates + availability in the next 2 weeks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We’re building a living myth — not just a game.

Back to Eden is a nature-positive, non-extractive adventure where your care for the world is mirrored in-game. It’s gentle, story-rich, and blends on-screen play with optional real-world care quests.

No loot boxes. No grind-for-grind. No dark patterns. Just planting, listening, singing, and bringing life back to a sleeping world.

What We’re Making First

A tiny 2-week vertical slice prototype to prove the feel:

• One glade + one river bend that transform through acts of care.
• Listen to hidden voices, plant wildflowers, restore water, hear the song of life return.
• Optional off-screen quests that echo in-game (e.g., water a plant, write a note of hope).

Looking For

• Unity or Godot Developer – 2D/2.5D, prototyping experience, collaborative spirit.
• Watercolor/Nature Artist – Hand-painted style, gentle glow, nature-rich worlds.
• Acoustic/Ambient Composer – Natural textures (wood, clay, breath), dynamic music that grows with the world.

What You Get

• A complete Core Blueprint & Values Charter (PDF) so you know exactly what we’re making and protecting.
• A clear, achievable scope: 5–8 minutes of polished gameplay, not an endless grind.
• A respectful, soul-first collaboration space.

Values We Live By

• Non-extractive design (no manipulative loops)
• Nature-positive mechanics
• Storytelling that awakens inner growth
• All-ages welcome (10–∞)
• Cloudless play option for privacy

If you’ve ever wanted to make something beautiful without selling your soul — this is your call.
