So. Upfront currently this will be an unpaid project until there are funds generated for it or from it and I will sign a contract with the person I choose. I work a full time job, and take online classes,but I will be devoting 10+ hrs a week to this however as I am working my ass off to change careers.
I am based in the US, and would prefer to find someone from the US. but am open to anyone. I am ultimately looking for someone I could eventually work together with long term on multiple projects, to that point if you can do 2D art and have other skills, audio for example, that would be helpful as this will be a many hats type project. I will be handling programming, writing/story, game development document and tracking, art till I find someone, and anything else I need to until I find someone. That means, yes I am already starting work on creating a prototype.
Now that being said. The actual game:
Stardew Valley meets Dungeon Keeper with a mix of Recettear an item shop with inspiration from sci/fi and fantasy books.
The premise is that the player is the owner of a dungeon underneath a town and is charge of running it to attract adventurers to the town and the dungeon. The player will create monsters, mine out the dungeon, collect resources for traps and "loot" all to entice adventurers in order to collect their belongings and life force/magical energy.
Currently Planned features include:
A town with shops to interact with
Ways to breed and grow monsters
Resource gathering
Player control of "bosses"
Manipulation of monster stats
Dungeon growth
Item/object placement system
Shop in town to sell "found" weapons, armor, ect.
