Hi everyone! 

I am looking for a writer to help me adapt the indie game Celeste as a children book, specifically in a Kamishibai format. 

Due to the very limited space of this format, I am struggling to get the story right and it would be great to count with someone with experience in writing.

Once the story is finished, I would like to get in touch with a professional illustrator to create some nice illustrations to go along with the rest, but so far, I want to focus on the story. 

Unfortunately I cannot offer any payment at the moment for you... I have no intention so far to make any money out of this project, so I guess you can think of it as a sort of fan art project.  However, we can publish the result in whichever platform you want and promote your work in any way you would like.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to reach to through discord _scr_

Looking forward to hearing from you! 

Santi

Thanks for the feedback, MegaMelone. We will keep it in mind for sure for a future update of the game :) I am glad that you still could enjoy the gameplay!

Check out our previous game, also submitted to this jam!

Thanks for the feedback, MegaMelone :) It is actually interesting how people reacted to both games. Your point is certainly one to have in mind. I will keep working on the Fruit Twist so it can at least reach the same level as Twistling.

Very glad that you enjoyed this one more!! 

Hi gabemcarvalho! Glad that you enjoyed the game :) It is actually funny to see how different people the "mouse puzzle" xD

Ghosting is a big deal for this game, you are fully right... We tried to solve it in a similar game that we did for this jam but it turned out to not be as fun as this one. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks a lot for playing and the feedback! You are fully right, we will try to think about this issue in future updates

Glad you enjoyed it despite this problem :)

Hey Bitoh! Thanks a lot for your comment :) 

Wish you the best in this project. If someone else is reading this, go and check out the official game page and test their last update!

Hey PixonParadox, thanks for the feedback! :) 

The game is supposed to be a "physical puzzle", where you have to struggle to press the diffent keys, like the Twister game. So, we chose the key patterns to deliver that feeling. If we succeed, cannot say xD but that it is the reason some keys are close to each other and other very far away. 

Hi! I would say the  difficulty was medium, reminded me of old arcade games (I guess that was the intention actually).  Not too hard but neither too easy. The goal to master the game is clear, you just have to get there.

Reg. what to improve, of course variety of enemies can always be increased, right? or different enemy patterns, or an extra layer of enemies further away. 

But I honestly find that kind of cheap feedback, so I can also suggest you to add an extra mechanic to give the player a second chance. 

Controls are hard to master because changing the direction requires some time, it is not immediate. So if you are heading an enemy, it is hard to not die. That the key of the game I would say, so all good there. But, you could add a mechanic to be a bit more forgiving with mistakes. 

For example, you could slightly slow down the time right before colliding with an enemy, so the player has a bit more of buffer time to react. The feeling of saving the day right at the last sec is awesome and could spice up the gameplay! 

Or you could add a "parry" mechanic, so the player can press a key right before colliding an enemy, so instead of dying, they would bounce back from the enemy and has now a bit of time to react and change direction. 

Just random ideas :) I hope it helps, in general very good game! 

Opened again!

Nice game! I specially liked the gameplay, simple but effective. The sound design is also very good, well done

Wow great job here, definetely something worthy to check out! Quick games with simple mechanics that are easy to understand in a sec and execute (Warioware feel). Feels nice and surprising the whole time. Well done!

I liked a lot the art and the music. In the general, great job with the presentation of the game! 

Hey samu, great feedback thanks a lot! The keys are actually not randomised, so it is definitely something we need to look into to improve the game. 

Glad that you like it overall :)

Absolutely great game! Well done here. Reallly polished, presentation amazing and the quick games are perfect for such a jam. 

The controls are somehow strange in the beginning, but as soon as you get used to it, it is a very fun game. Loved the presentation overall, nice music and graphics!

Lovely little clicker game, I love the presentation. Well done there!

Thanks for the feedback, Proyd! Will certainly look into that :) Update coming

Thanks for the nice feedback! Working already in a fix for the keyboard layout, totally missed that one. 

Thanks for the suggestion about new mechanics also. We are actually working on a sequel of this tiny game, where we use the same concept but with different mechanics :) so stay tuned and hopefully soon we can submit a new game that you can also try! 

Thank you for playing!! The mouse is actually planned as a final challenge, it always pops up when the player manage to complete a certain amount of keys. As a exchange, the reward is supposed to be also much higher. 

I hope you still enjoyed the game despite the challenge :) 

Do you work in 3D as well? I am looking for a programmer who can help me to test out the gameplay of my game, to see if it is worthy or not to further develop the idea.

I can share with you the GDD, if you interested. It is action RPG with a strategic touch, that hopefully makes it interesting.

My discord is _scr_ 

Hi! 

I have an idea for a project but needs to be refined and tested. I mainly work in Unity but I like your work. Would you be willing to have a chat about it? I can share the GDD draft with you.

Add me in discord if you are interested: _scr_

Hey, I am interested in discussing some game ideas. Here is my discord: _scr_

Update!

Hey, here you are my discord! Santi Costas#7873 I would like to talk to you about a new small project that I have in mind

Very nice game, specially for being done in 3h. Well done!

Same here. I think it is not a bug though... maybe if the piece has no pair, you have to select itself. Maybe, who knows. Not super clear.

Apart from that, it is a fine game. No other bugs, not really innovative though. Nice work for 3h!

Hey, I can help with thr Spanish translation if still needed :) 

You can add me to discord Santi Costas#7873 

Update! 

Nice work you have here. Would you be open to help a group of game dev starters in a revshare job? We are developing a small sandbox game themed on creating your own universe and experimenting with its somehow unique mechanics. 

Contact me on discord Santi Costas#7873 if you would interested in such a project! 

Thank you :)

Hey everyone, 

We are a small team working on a hobby project to add a nice piece into our portfolio. Our current project is a small sandbox game themed on the universe, where physics and collisions between space objects are the key fun feature.

We are looking for 1x UI artist and 1x VFX artist to add some flavour and game feel to the game.

The scope of the project is rather small, approx. 6 months of development until getting a prototype with which we feel happy and proud of.

If you are interested, just drop me a message here or on discord (Santi Costas#7873) and I will share with you our GDD, so you can have a better idea of the project.

Looking forward to talking to you! 

Santi

Thank you for playing! Leave a comment with your feedback in the game page, I would love to hear your comments.

Hey! Really cool stuff there. I have a small minigame almost finished and it would be great to add some music to it. How can I contact you, to see if this project might sound interesting to you? My discord is Santi Costas#7873 

Hey Noah, 

Thank for texting us! How can we contact you? There is an email in your website, should we just write to you there or do you prefer a more direct way?

[Closed] Hi everyone,

We are forming a team to develop a new survival game combined with puzzle-like boss battles. The game will take the player to an exuberant underwater world, where they have to explore and learn to fend for themselves in this hostile environment. The goal of the player is to collect resources in order to craft tools/weapons that will unlock new areas to explore, and ultimately find boss arenas. For reference, we’re inspired by titles such as Shadow of the Colossus & Subnautica. For our initial MVP, we will focus on making a meaningful single boss fight and a small open world to explore and survive. 

So far, our team consists of a programmer and a game designer, and we are looking for:

• 2x 3D Artists
• 1x Concept Artist
• 1x Writer

We are looking for collaborators that are passionate about creating interesting and innovative games. Someone who appreciates giving and taking constructive criticism. And someone who plainly just loves video games. 

Our only goal is to create a game that we are proud of, and learn a bunch along the way.

The game is being developed in the Unity Game Engine.

The project is initially unpaid, but we are interested in looking for funding whenever the project reaches a presentable state. Our current primary goal is to create an MVP, that we can present and hopefully get funding to continue with our work in a more full-time capacity; which you will obviously get the opportunity to partake in as well.

For a more efficient team workflow, we’ll mainly be considering European based candidates; since we’re based out of Germany & Denmark.

If this project sounds interesting to you, please contact us on Discord at: Santi Costas#7873 and Sleepy Golem #5878, preferably in a DM group with your portfolio and experience, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I am currently involved in 2 different projects that takes up most of my time. I can only accept at the moment small things or tasks that I can do in a sprint or 2. But feel free to add me on Discord, and when I have some capacity, I can come back to you :)
