[Unpaid] [Godot] Seeking Cyberpunks

Hello everyone! My names Clark, I'm looking for other folks who work with Godot Engine and want to brainstorm and spitball idea's about a Cyberpunk Game or Three, the concepts for which I've been working on for a long time by myself. I'm not looking to lead anything or anyone, but find myself doing so quite often, for lack of a better leader. 

My own personal experience is mainly with Pixel Art, although I'm not a stranger to programming either. I'm looking for practically anyone and everyone who's interested in working on a Cyberpunk Game for the project I have in mind. Although, more than just that, I'm also interested in collaborating with like minds, to the point that I see myself working on your game as well, assuming you have something you have a clear vision of, and assuming of course that we jive well and work together easily as a team.

In exchange for any Godot Guru's out there who are willing to take me under their wing or in the very least are willing to travel the Godot Engine Journey together to indie dev stardom, I am willing and able to put my pixel art skills to work in return for anyone who can help me with my project.

I previously worked in a 3-man pixel art team for several years before we went our seperate ways and ever since then I've been searching for that creative spark, mutual enthusiasm for art and videogame design, and that amazing cohesiveness we had ever since, as I alone have soldiered on and never given up on the Indie Dev Dream.

If you like Cyberpunk and have a serious wish to make dark, grimy games for adults, even if you don't have a world of experience, please let me know, as I'm very serious about my project and I work on it every single day. It's all I think about. Be obsessed or be average, as Grant Cardone once put it. And I'd like to release more than one videogame before I die of old age. To this end, I see the necessity of founding a dev team, or in the very least joining one.

I have a grand vision of a tightly written narrative experience in a dark technoir world. Yet I hope to keep the scope of the project relatively small and manageable, true to the spirit of indie videogame development.

I can provide more references, such as bites of my portfolio and past experience in this area upon request to those who are interested.

I don't mean for this post to be too enormous and intimidating, so I think I'll cut it there. 

I hope to hear from many of you soon. Fingers crossed.

Hey there, I am a graphic designer, but I have only recently started work for games. What may be of more interest to you is that I also do concept design and writing.  Most of what I have done is early concept design, so building the information that the writers and concept artists will use. I have spent alot of time researching games and their plots. I pfrefer to communicate with email before I use discord. 

email: moosic52@gmail.com

Hey there! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'll be sure to shoot you an email as soon as possible so we can collab sometime. You sound like just the kind of guy I need to know ^^

Hope it's not against the rules to bump my topic here, but we're still looking and hiring within my studio, Pixel Punk Productions!

I figured, as well, I could give more information on what I had in mind, in order to help build anticipation or increase interest in working on the project. 

The game will be developed in Godot Engine for Linux, Windows and Android. It'll largely be a pixel art action adventure rpg with metroidvania style progression. The plot is a post cyberpunk story with elements of SciFi horror. Very nanomachine oriented. 

I will begin an itch.io devblog soon and detail more of the lore and world building there. For this thread I'll try to stick with technical details. 

Pixel Punk Productions will not take credit for any contributions to the game. All developers involved in the title will be credited with their real names first and foremost, or chosen screen name, whichever is preferred. The name of the collective will simply be used for convenience sake when referring to our team collectively. 

We are currently still hiring and still highly interested primarily in Godot Programmers and Artists. All artists. And Devs of all experience levels will be given full consideration. I am in charge of organizing the effort. If you are unsure of what or how you can contribute, I can find you a spot, no worries. 

Under my belt and for display as my experience... I have roughly 18 years as an amateur videogame developer and pixel artist. With around 500 pages of sprite comics under my belt of every genre, from high fantasy to cyberpunk. My sprite comic "Dungeons and Dumbasses" was particularly well Recieved. I also did a fairly high production shadowrun comic, though it was short lived. I began work through Rpg maker 2000 in the early wild West days of the internet and simply never stopped while many others did. To many others this is a hobby. To me, it is my job. 

The most recent work on the plot and games by me and my writer was today. We are working on an official game design document to keep the team unified and cohesive. I have pages of lore written. I am also pixelling and photoshopping the graphics together and doing the brunt of the code.

So, I'll say again, we're still hiring, we're still looking, we are very serious about this. In time, I also plan on working out a bounty system. The most challenging parts of development will have crypto currency rewards offered for those who can solve them. However this is still in the planning phase right now and I would like to avoid working on the game too heavily for profit and forgetting our passion. 

Please get a hold of me if any of this interests you. You are free to give working with us a trial run as well. No pressure and no obligations necessary. 

You can leave a message here, or email me at clark.k@tech-center.com 

I am also Coinspinner#8815 via discord. 

Hoping to hear from some of you soon, and I hope I'm not breaking any rules with this update. I plan on starting an itch devlog and page for the game, etc in due time. If I seem scant on certain details, it's simply to protect the secrets of the IP.  :) 

Thank you all and have a wonderful day!

Hey, I've worked on several game jams in the last few months doing music and SFX. I would be happy to do audio work for your game! Here's an album I made that fits with the cyberpunk genre: https://soundcloud.com/corerevival/sets/hive-mind. You can also check out my full SoundCloud profile and itch.io page to see my other work. Here's my discord if you'd like to contact me: Core#9821.

I've sent you a friend request and we'll see if we can't get you in on the project ^^

I have not played around in Godot, but I have participated in disscussion on the engine on facebook where a lot of the developers are and i am generally interested in the intention of a tool and thats why I will watch stuff that does not get a lot of views, I have experience in other engines, but never quite finished something, yes, i have general programming experience like OOP stuff and i understand that stuff, thinking in those structures is more easy to me. If you need someone that forms your ideas, yes i am that type of dude to go on a ramble on some topic and i will provide value where i can, its all very tiresome though, so dont expect me to be as enthusiastic after a couple of months without crunch... im still in university as well, i may be able to help, just a general whats up, reach out through mail: wardana.sebastian@gmail.com, or discord: wardPlaced#2622 thanks!

Thanks for getting a hold of me you two! I'm sorry for my absence, but I'm back now. The team is just undergoing a bit of rebranding at the moment that has the usual routine shaken up a bit.
tl;dr
The name I'd chosen for our dev studio turns out to be already spoken for, which took the wind out of my sails a bit, and we need to change our name and stuff now.
I've sent Ward a friend request over discord and I'll try getting back to you as soon as possible through email Dz. Just getting my day started. Thank you so much for your interest in the project, either way. ^_^
