Fast-paced Fantasy Shooter

Story

The forces of Hell have grown stronger than ever before, ready to break the seal which has kept them from crossing to our world.

The impending doom has awoken ancient powers within the blood of mighty warriors, descendants of the legendary heroes who fought back these demons long ago.

Together, they will protect the seal and fight back the infernal army. It is their duty as bearers of the Hellpact.

Gameplay

Choose your warrior and enter the treacherous and varied worlds of Hell, where countless demons await you. To aid you in battle, your pact angels will grant you powerful abilities and weapons.

Survive the constant onslaught of demons and beat the boss to progress to the next level and unlock new abilities. Defeating enough demons within a level will grant you power-ups, which will significantly impact your gameplay style.

Although the challenge seems insurmountable at first, failure isn't the end! Each round gives you resources, which can be used to make you stronger and unlock new warriors. Try again and again, learn your enemies' behaviors, discover new strategies and power-up combinations, and you MIGHT be able to survive until the end.

Project

This is an unpaid project intended to help contributors learn and build up their portfolio.

Currently, the game is still in an early design state with the core game mechanics documented and many first drafts for other elements like art, narrative and audio.

A first pitch version of the game is in the works using the Godot engine, though it won't be feature complete and will need to be rewritten entirely.

Recruiting

I'm looking to build a design team to finish designing all the elements needed for a first prototype. Once we have enough elements ready and documented, we'll start building the development team.

Looking for :

Character designer

• Draw/paint highly detailed characters and monsters
• Create a distinct visual style for the whole cast
• Work with writer and game designer to translate story and game mechanics into interesting visuals

Environment artist

• Create detailed concept art of our worlds
• Break environments down into individual components
• Define lighting and tone of each environment

Writer

• Define the overall narrative of the game
• Create interesting background stories for our characters and environments

Already filled positions :

• 1 Director / Producer / Game designer
• 1 Writer
• 1 Character designer
