Bump: Previous programmers fell through :/

Hello developers! My name is Ken. I am currently looking for a programmer or more to work on a pixel art fantasy style battle game. Project would be rev share. Looking to produce a working demo for crowd funding. I do have extensive experience with pixel art, as well as working for large game studios previously as an Art Director. The game is called Dark Age Stadium. Players start with a basic character class, and can upgrade their class along the way as they fight through hordes of other players, monsters, construct bases, team with friends, and conquer the map, which would be procedurally generated. Other features include mounts, farming, resource collection, weapon drops, NPCs, and other fun things! The map would also wipe every week or 2 weeks, similar to the game Rust, and would consist of a small network of players (around 20+) if possible. The art is very low res, so it won’t be a big strain on performance or time to create assets,  but is still aesthetically pleasing enough to get traction.

I do have a full starting document detailing most of the core gameplay and what is available in terms of features, if you are interested in reading it. I also work full time as an artist, so this would be a slow burn in terms of development (no stress!).

Here is a screen shot mock-up for the game so far, as well as playable characters (visuals subject to change):

If you are interested, I am very active on Discord at Kenthecaptain#3206. As far as engine choice, it’s up to you and the other developers. I do have a lot of experience using GMS2 and some Unity, if that is of any help. Hope to hear from you soon. :)

Thank you so much :)

Hey I’m Ken. I’ve done a few small jams before with friends, but nothing big. If you are looking for an artist to work on a jam with let me know.

Thanks :)

That’s pretty cool! I’m not sure what that is, but I’m glad you are able to use them. :)

Yeah I’d love to see your prototypes, I just sent you a request on Discord. 

Thank you! Yes, fish weapons are pretty awesome. :)

Awesome game name! Let  me know if you guys still need an artist! I like hand drawn mostly, but can do pixel art too. I’m not sure what you have of the game so far, but if you are interested, I could draw up some concepts for you. Here is my art account:

Hello guys, I am a concept/game artist, specializing in  hand drawn or pixel 2d toon style art, looking to work on a small game project. I may be interested in larger projects down the line, but right now I’d like to keep a fairly small scope. I enjoy fantasy games mostly, but I can broaden my horizons depending on the project. I would love to work on a small top down  or platformer adventure type game, but my coding skills are just not up to snuff. Check out my Instagram account instagram.com/kenthecaptain, and let me know if you are interested.  I do have a few small mockups/concepts that I did recently that are collecting dust, and I have included them below! If you like my work, don’t hesitate to send a message. Thanks!

Hello Nick,

Your game concept sounds interesting! I mainly specialize in 2d character design, but I can broaden my horizons depending on the project. Take a look at my Instagram account, if you are interested, please send me a message there, and I’d be glad to discuss it further with you. Take care. :)

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like them. :)
