Hello fellow game devs, I’m looking for a team to help on a project. Currently, we’re a team of 3 comprising of 2 programmers (including me, you can find my work here) and a writer. We’re looking for people such as, programmers, writers, SFX artist, sound design, 3D/2D Artist; practically the whole spectrum haha
The project is still in its very early stages, we’ve currently got a small GDC until we brainstorm all the ideas and can move on to a proper GDD. A big inspiration for this project is Firewatch for its incredible narrative and visuals and The Forest for its eerie gameplay
The Game Idea
You and a couple of friends go camping. While collecting wood for the campfire, you notice another campsite occupied by a tribe. This tribe has captured people and burned one of them in front of your eyes. You go back to camp and tell your friends about the situation, intrigued they follow you to the other camp but there’s nothing there anymore. At night you are awoken by nightmares of the previous night. Going out of your tent, you are captured by the very tribal members you saw. You and your friends are bound by a cliff where a tribal member pushes you off. Miraculously, you end up surviving. Your objective is to find the perpetrators, free the people they’ve captured, free your friends and get out of that forest. Throughout, your journey, you will come across Y (place holder name) through a walkie-talkie. She will explain that she’s been investigating the tribe but cannot meetup with you for Z reason however she will help you by giving valuable intel on the tribe. Various choices will be given to you which will affect the world, your relationship with Y and the ending. It is now up to you find out what is happening in this seemingly normal forest.
If you’ve been in the game development industry long enough, you’ll know that most projects never see the light of day no matter how dedicated the team is or how great the idea is. We’re looking to change that and actually finish something to we can all be proud of and add to our portfolio.
Whether you are a beginner or experienced in your field, as long as you have a good team spirit and are eager to make a game you are more than welcome on our team.
Our goal with this project is not only to finish it but build up a team of people so that we can help each other in other projects and overall, just make new connections.
With that said, if you want to have fun and get to know people, you can reply under this post or contact me via my discord handle @ rc137
