Hello,
My name is Ad and I am a programer that has been developing a 2D exploration roguelite game.
A little bit about the game so far:
The game is inspired by No Mans sky, where players can seamlessly fly through space, find different planets, land on them, and explore.
The weapon upgrading system is inspired by Noita, using combinations of modules that attach to the player's multitool.
To help create a universe worth of solar systems and planets, I use procedural generation. That said, each solar system has a string of hand-made planets, where the main story progression unfolds from. Circling the hand-made planets are the optional procedural planets - useful places to find additional enemies and to grind recourses.
Progression is currently leaning towards the rougelite genre, where by collecting the currency "pixel dust" from enemies, bosses and puzzles, you upgrade your multitool and fuel your ship, hoping from planet to planet, solar system to solar system, with the ultimate goal, arriving at the center of the universe.
A little bit about me:
I am a self taught game developer from the UK. As corny as it sounds, it is my dream to start a studio to create and release games. I hope that this will be my first step to achieving this, and that I can build a team of like minded people. I am by no means an expert game developer, however, I have been learning Unity for the last 4 years, and started working on this game, 1 year ago.
About you
I am looking for a 2D pixel artist with the hopes of starting a team to work on the game. I have uploaded a video which shows a demo solar system, with planets and simple enemies. Other than the planet shapes, all art is either placeholder assets, or something I tried to create myself. If you like what you see, get in touch with me (comment or email: ademkemalhilmi@gmail.com) with some examples of your work and a little bit about you. I am very open to art suggestions and for you to take more of a lead role on the look of the game. The game is still in early development, and the video is just a snippet of where I am, but I work on the game every day.
Thanks for reading!
