Hey there!

For my new project I would love to work with a level designer. The project is still in the prototype phase testing out mechanics but the basis of the game is clear! I want to focus on all the mechanics, enemies, level objects and would love to work with a level designer who is willing to build the levels (grey-boxing) using these objects and with the option to request(or make) more elements if needed. I want to start with grey-boxing and at a later stage add the theme/mood/props/... myself but I'm open to collaborate on this!

Game-Concept in Short:

Your a collection of cubes that can be rebuild in game for puzzle/ platform purposes.
Trough-out the world cubes will stick to your body, some are permanent other can be shot away as bullets that also stick to walls. Some of these cubes are (temperately) abilities, boosts your stats or lower them, until you shoot them away again (or not). Next to cubes that lower your stats (so you can't make a jump for instance) there are enemies and level objects that hurt you.

It will be a smaller game with several levels/worlds. Each world will focus on 1 new ability and can be replayed as speed-run's or when you have all the abilities there will be places you could not reach before.

Story:

The 2D / Cinematic designer is working out a story. But it will center around rebuilding yourself after a traumatic event. The story takes place inside the head of this person by a cube character that's a bit clueless/ funny as contrast to the dark back story.

Already onboard (3):

- Game-designer/ Programmer
- Sound designer / Music Composer
- 2D art / Story

hey im a beginner with unity, i would love to try and help your project!

Hey! is there anything you can show me made with unity or other software? I'm currently setting up one basic level with all the game elements in it. And I'm making a clear folder structure with prefabs so its easy for a level dev. to build the level with those components so a ton of experience in unity is not really a must so that perfect then :) but i still would love see something ;)

hey.. i havent made anything, properly, i've followed brackeys tutorials, but getting assets for the games was a prob for me and i couldnt make anything

You couldn't get assets? In case you need assets the unity asset store is full of free stuff :) https://assetstore.unity.com/account/assets
For me its oke if you do not have a lot of experiance but it sounds you really just stated and im worried you would run into problems with my game. So maybe do some more tutorials first  and contact me again in like 3 montsh or something and then we can surly give it a try :D

Hello I've Been doing gamedev since Febuary 2021 and I'm looking for a way I can contribute to a long term project. I can think of different paces for Level design based on what you want and I Could even hide lore into the level design to make the game more immersive if that is something that you would like.

Hi! Sounds great! Do you have any work to show by any chance? As stated before its alright if your not super experienced but some basic knowledge of unity would help ;) i still have a few things to design/ write first. Do you know your way around the unity scene editor a bit since you just started?

I want  levels that are easy at there base, but have collectables that are harder to get too and when speedrunning the level or when having all the abilities have even more challenges hidden in them. Making the levels repayable, but on the first play-trough add story/ lore elements/ puzzles (a button that opens a door, but when opened stays open even in replays).

But first just grey-boxing, story/ lore will come later ;)

love to hear back from you :D

Yes I Have a pretty basic level of understanding editing in unity. I've made a lot of 2D tilemaps for top down games and platformer games. I can Make a quick side scroller as a demo if you would like. If you tell me the way physics work with your player i can make a demo level with the same physics.

hey there, is this position still available? I have a lot of experience in this area of work😁 

Hi! That sounds great! I did not start working on this with anyone yet + i would not mind to have more then one level designer anyway :)

Do you have any projects you can maybe share just to see what you have done?

But keep in mind, everything is still in a prototype stage so it works but not  yet super perfectly and i want to start out with grey-boxing so the levels can just look super basic in the art department but feel free to add some colors/ lighting to give it a general feel would be fine :) 

My plan is to have a demo level done at the end of next week with all the level items/ enemies, i also want to create some boss battles but those will be more complex with new code so i want to wait with those for now.

What would be a good way for you to communicate on this for you?
