Hello fellow game devs, I’m looking for a game designers to work on a Firewatch inspired project.

Currently, we’re a team of 15, consisting of the whole house: programmers, VAs, writers, artists etc. Except game designers.

I’ve started this project around a month ago and progress has been throttled due to the lack of a proper GDD, currently we possess only an early Game Concept Document which is not optimal for proper progress. We’re looking for one or multiple game designers that are/is motivated to work on this project and help to speed up our efforts.

This is a follow-up post and you can find the original here.

The Game Idea You and a couple of friends go camping. While collecting wood for the campfire, you notice another campsite occupied by a tribe. This tribe has captured people and burned one of them in front of your eyes. You go back to camp and tell your friends about the situation, intrigued they follow you to the other camp but there’s nothing there anymore. At night you are awoken by nightmares of the previous night. Going out of your tent, you are captured by the very tribal members you saw. You and your friends are bound by a cliff where a tribal member pushes you off. Miraculously, you end up surviving. Your objective is to find the perpetrators, free the people they’ve captured, free your friends and get out of that forest. Throughout, your journey, you will come across Y (place holder name) through a walkie-talkie. She will explain that she’s been investigating the tribe but cannot meetup with you for Z reason however she will help you by giving valuable intel on the tribe. Various choices will be given to you which will affect the world, your relationship with Y and the ending. It is now up to you find out what is happening in this seemingly normal forest.

If you’ve been in the game development industry long enough, you’ll know that most projects never see the light of day no matter how dedicated the team is or how great the idea is. We’re looking to change that and actually finish something to we can all be proud of and add to our portfolio.

Whether you’re just dipping your toes into game development or are an experienced game designer as long as your ambitious and motivated, you’re more than welcome on our team.

We’re not only looking to make a game but to build up a team of people to help each other in future projects and make new connections.

With that said, if this project sounds interesting to you, you can directly reply under this post or contact me via my discord handle @ rc137
