Aspiring game designer looking for people!

Heya! I'm Emolga, and I am searching for people to create a team that will help me make my game idea, Foxtail Park, into an actual game. 

I have no actual experience in game design, as I am just getting into the whole game making scene, but I am looking for people who, like me, are searching to expand their portfolio, and actually want to make something unique and special. 

What is Foxtail Park?

At the moment, Foxtail Park is just an idea, and a slightly developed story for a unique text-based adventure game with a lot of mystery elements. The plan is that it will have three volumes and a demo, and all the volumes and the demo will have their own protagonists, who are already thought of. 

How is Foxtail Park different from other text-based adventure games?

While other text-based adventure games have a linear storyline, Foxtail Park doesn't. It has lots of different endings (which I am in the process of making), and it is one of the games which you have to replay again and again in order of getting different endings. 

What are you working on at the moment, game wise?

Right now, I am trying to make a GDD for the game, but am working rather slowly, due to it being my first GDD. Even though I am working slowly, I am making progress. After I am done with the first version of the GDD, I will start working on/writing the actual story for the demo. 

What do you plan on doing when it comes to working on the game?

I plan on being the game designer/writer for the game, but if I turn out to be a really bad game designer or writer, or if I won't have time to do both, I have no problem in finding people who will fill one of those roles instead of me. 

Which people are you looking for the Foxtail Park team?

Like I said before, I am looking for all sorts of people, but it is important that these people are passionate about what they do.

The roles I am looking for are:

> Pixel Artist (Somebody who can draw landscapes, like a forest, or mountains, or a river, or a canyon, in a semi-detailed pixel style)

> Programmer (Somebody who can program the game, the platform for the game is still not decided) 

> Sound Designer (Somebody who can handle all the sound related things in the game )

> Other (Anybody else who thinks they can help in making this game idea into reality, this includes game designers, writers and so on.)

Will I get payed for the work I do on the game?

I can't promise that anybody will get payed, but I can promise that if the game ends up making some money, all the profit will be split up accordingly to how much contribution everybody had in the making of the game. I can also promise that, if this idea actually becomes a game, everybody working on it will have something new to put on their portfolios, which is definitely a win in my book. 

When do we start making the game?

The plan for the game at the moment would be to start game development some time in January 2020, but this can be postponed if we don't have all the people we need to make the game. 

Where and how can I contact you?

I am available on Discord (Emolga#1411), but if Discord doesn't work for you, leave your email, or another contact down below, and I'll make sure to contact you as soon as I possibly can.

What's foxtail park about? 

Simply put, Foxtail Park is about people whose lives are being messed with by the park's supernatural forces. 

Do we have to use a certain engine?

we can discuss about the project on Skype -live:ianradnor088

You should check out Twine or Quest, they are platforms for interactive fiction that can be extended to add specific functionality. Using these you may not even need a developer!

I would also recommend checking out Ren'py - https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/# - it's designed for making visual novels with only a tiny bit of coding (seems like a good choice for the kind of game you're describing), but its integration with python makes it super flexible

Also I'm a developer that might be interested - email me at rfblue2(at)gmail(dot)com.  Haven't really made many games, but you can view some of the projects I've worked on at github.com (rfblue2)

Hi! late to the game (no pun intended) but I am really interested in working on this project as a writer! I, too, have no experience but I would be so thrilled to chat with you more about this game. I am really intrigued by the premise of the game and think it can be something really unique! My discord is jupiterpower_#9958

Hi ! It's a nice idea and I am very interested. I worked two year creating corporation game as a game and UX designer. If it still fine to participate, I add you to discord.
