🔹 Description:

Hello! We're developing a 4X turn-based strategy game set in Antiquity—think ancient empires, tile-based conquest, and rich multiplayer gameplay.

Our game is built in Unity on a hexagonal tilemap with procedural world generation, classic 4X mechanics, and an ambitious long-term vision. We've already built a working prototype, and are currently refactoring systems for multiplayer support and modularity. This is not a vague idea—we are well past the concept phase and deep into production.

🧠 About the Project

  • 🎮 Genre: 4X Turn-Based Strategy

  • 🌍 Theme: Antiquity (historical-inspired civilizations)

  • 🧩 Tech: Unity (C#), Aesprite (pixel art), Discord (team comms)

  • 🧪 Status: Prototype complete, working on multiplayer + polish

  • 💰 Payment: Volunteer-only, but we are planning revenue sharing based on contribution if the game is monetized

👥 About the Team

  • 🧑‍💻 ~6 core contributors + 20 flexible collaborators

  • 🖼️ Roles: Programmers, Pixel Artists, UI/UX Designers, Musician, Project Managers, etc.

  • 🎯 Structure: Weekly sync meetings (1–2 per week), async collaboration

  • 🫂 Culture: Friendly, positive, growth-oriented, no crunch—quality over speed

  • 💬 Discord is our primary hub for coordination and camaraderie

💡 Who We're Looking For

We're actively seeking programmers, artists, project managers, and game designers,  especially those excited about:

  • 🌱 Procedural world generation

  • 👾 2D Pixel Art

  • 🔵 UI Art / Design

We're also very open to people interested in game design, especially if you're passionate about:

  • 🧭 4X strategy mechanics

  • ⚔️ Turn-based systems

  • 🏛️ Ancient history or classical civilizations

Experience isn’t everything—we value curiosity, commitment, and good communication over credentials. If you're eager to learn, collaborate, and contribute to something meaningful, we'd love to meet you -regardless of your skills or background. Our current team includes people who started with little experience and have grown immensely.

🕒 Expected Time Commitment:


Roughly 10–20 hours/week, with flexibility based on your availability. We're not a crunch team—we want people to enjoy the process and grow with us.

📷 Progress & Media

  • ✅ Working prototype on itch.io (WIP, internal build link on request)

  • 🗺️ Procedural hex tilemap and working 4X systems

  • 🎨 Early art and UI mockups available upon joining

  • 🎮 Multiplayer refactoring in progress

  • Work on a game you’ll be proud of

  • Collaborate with kind, skilled people

  • Get real experience and mentorship if you're still learning

  • Share in potential profits if the game succeeds

Hi! I'm interested in collaborating with your project as a 2D artist, focusing on concept and character design.

You can check out my portfolio here: https://www.artstation.com/avra

If my style fits your vision, feel free to reach out via Discord: abrahamovich

Sent a message through Discord! Looking forward to talking

What size pixel art do you work with?

Here’s a sample of our Tile art. Each of these hexagons are 68x68 pixels each. We don’t only use this scale but for now it’s become our default -especially for tiles. 

Okay, here's my portfolio: https://www.deviantart.com/monzonito/gallery/all 
And my Discord: monzonito

Sent you a Discord message. Looking forward to talking more!

Hey, I would like to potentially join this project! I would like to be a musician, and I used to make music for a game before it was cancelled, so this naturally seems like the next step. I've been making music since late 2022, to early 2023, and my discord username is "the_silly_person."(yes the period is in the username)
And even though this is unnecessary, I would like to prove that I am capable.
