We are a humble hobbyist group of amateur game devs with 1 goal: FINISH THE GAME. Our first game project of the year has begun and so far we have a nice small group of enthusiastic devs working on it :) I have to stress we’re all beginners who have never made commercial games, so very newbie friendly.

The current game the Monochrome Project (working title). It’s a simple 2D puzzle platformer. The objective is for the player to restore color to the world by solving a boss challenge on each level and by interacting with objects in the environment. It takes some inspiration from games like Towerfall.

We’re currently in the prototyping phase building and testing out game mechanics to see what works, so theres still lots room for new ideas and changes at this stage.

We could probably use more help in these areas:

I’ll keep this post updated this month, but if you’re interested in contributing come join us on discord!

We have a very friendly, mature and supportive team so far. Very newbie friendly since we are all newbies ourselves so we welcome people of all talent and skill levels. Come get better at making games this year by making games this year!

Commitments are only per project, not per year – if you have time to devote to a game this month, but not next month thats ok. This is our hobby afterall :) So dont let that deter you. Come on over and ask questions, there’s always some folks online willing to help.

Hi, I am a beginner game designer who mainly works with cartoon models and 2D whimsical art. I was wondering if I could help with a game you are working on. 

Thanks
