Hello! My name is Alec, and I’m developing a 2D platformer project in GameMaker called Iron Helm. This is planned as a commercial release on Steam and itch.io, with the ultimate goal of submitting the game to Indie Cross.
🎮 About the Game
Iron Helm is a 2D platformer with puzzle and adventure elements. The player wields a legendary iron helm to explore dangerous environments, solve challenges, and battle enemies. The game blends classic platforming with unique helm-based abilities for a fresh experience.
🛠️ Current Progress
- Core assets and design concept are in place
- Basic objects (
obj_player,obj_ground) and movement systems are working - Room setup and level design framework started
- Art direction and theme established
👨💻 Roles Available
I’m looking for two coders to join the project:
- Core Systems Developer → player controls, physics, camera, combat mechanics
- UI & Features Developer → menus, saving/loading, polish, optimization
💰 Compensation
This is a revenue share partnership:
- 20% of net profits for each coder
- 60% for myself (design, art, publishing, marketing)
🚀 Release Plan
- Target platforms: Steam and itch.io
- Commercial release with marketing and community engagement
- Long-term goal: build Iron Helm into a recognizable indie title and submit it to Indie Cross
If you’re interested in collaborating on Iron Helm, please reach out! I’d love to share more details, screenshots, and discuss how we can bring this project to life together.
PS: Really big fan of indie cross
