🩸 About the Project
I’m building a cinematic stick-figure stealth-action game inspired by the classic Flash assassin era reimagined with modern stealth mechanics, brutal finishers, and environmental kills.
This is a action/stealth stick game it’s gritty, grounded, and built around satisfying mechanics and player freedom.
The player is Johnny Stick, a black-ops operative trapped behind enemy lines sneaking, sabotaging, and taking down enemies one by one using improvised tools and stealth kills.
Core features:
-
Dynamic stealth system (light/sound detection)
-
Brutal takedown animations
-
Environmental kills (pliers, screwdrivers, rewire tools, etc)
-
Quick-time combat sequences
-
XP + upgrade progression
-
Stylized minimalist art (black, red, gray aesthetic)

💰 Payment / Terms
-
Revenue Share + Payment After Launch
-
I’m funding through Patreon, ad revenue, and launch sales.
-
Once revenue begins (ads, game sales, merch, etc.), contributors will receive agreed-upon percentages or flat payouts.
-
All agreements will be in writing before work begins (simple contract + IP protection).
-
-
Open to small upfront bonuses if the prototype gains traction through Patreon.
🔒 Confidentiality / NDA
All collaborators will need to sign a short Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before receiving detailed files, concept art, or prototype builds.
Nothing complicated — just protection for both sides to keep Johnny Stick: Behind Enemy Lines’ story, assets, and mechanics secure during development.
🚀 Current Progress
-
Concept, art direction, and Patreon funding system completed

Ready to move from concept to prototype (1 mission level + basic stealth mechanics)
