Hey there!
I am part of a small developer team, which is currenty working on a project called Yami [All of us are doing it as a hobby!]
Here a little sketch :)
Basic Infos:
So we had an idea for a Game. Its Name is Yami (japanese = Darkness) and the story has much to do with it, althought i dont want to talk about the story too much in here. We already have a working lobby, aswell as basic player movements, so we already are able to play together (Coop). We are still in the begining phase, so you didnt miss anything!
Here a picture of the lobby :)
Game Genres:
Action, Adventure, Fighting, 2D, Platformer, Multiplayer,Puzzle
More Game Details:
So our Game will have similarities with the Game "Dead Cells". It will be coop with 2 players, so it will have enemys and maybe bosses which you will have to defeat for special rewards. But in the first place, it will be a jump and run platformer with enemys and puzzles, which you have to solve with the help of your friend :) There will be many weapons etc. Also, there may be superpowers given to the characters, like fireballs etc. , we are still not sure about that! If possible we want to create a nice Atmosphere while playing the game, by using different light features and shaders in Unity aswell as some ambient music which we will add at the end.
What Programs do you work with?
We are currently working with Unity, and we would use Github as a repository. You dont know what that is? No problem! One of our programmers already wrote a tutorial for all new members :) Also you dont have to download Unity if you dont want to, we can always find a solution!
What Style will the Game be?
It somehow should resemble a cartoon. Watch some examples on youtube, like (ori and the blind forest or) dead cells. And you have to try to fit with the style of the other artists! Other then that your free to chose! ^^
How many People are in this Project?
So as of now, we consist of 3 Programers [Me for the multiplayer, another coder for the player behaviour and another one for the level functions and maps] aswell as 1 Writer [Working on a small basic story line] and 2 Artists [One is working on the UI and one is working on the map]. Our ages are from 18-28, so feel free to join us, your age doesnt matter!
What we expect you to have:
You should have more or less 3-4 hours of work time a week, because we already experienced many Game Projects dying because of laziness or lack of time. We hope you can understand that! Other then that, you should have fun doing what you do! Otherwise it wouldnt make any sense. It doesnt matter if you are experienced or not. Just tag along and see how it goes :)
What we can give to you:
It is a hobby project, so if we finish it, we may even try to get it on steam, and we will share all rewards equally :) Other then that, we can help you with unity if you have problems, and make a Game with you ^^
What exactly are we looking for?
At the moment, we are searching for a Character animator for the enemys and for the player. You should try to mach the cartoonish style in the sketch above, or at least make it somehow cartoonish.
