Hi there! We’re a small group of game enthusiasts working on a small to mid-scale survival and psychological horror game. My friend and I began by wanting to create our very first game that is both fun and has a compelling story. We love playing games and experiencing the worlds they have to offer, and with our current project, we are super excited about creating such a universe of our own. Recently, we’ve assembled ourselves a nice little team. Our team now consists of a writer/creative lead/marketer (marketing is just starting), three programmers, a sound designer and future VAs, and a UI/UX designer. We’re a team of 6, two girls and four guys, with ages in our 20s and 30s.
Now, we’re looking for more people to join us! Specifically, a VFX artist and creative designer/artist. Anyone with basic to intermediate (or more) level knowledge in these fields is welcome.
First, a little more about the game. It’s a 3D psychological survival horror set in a creepy mansion where chemistry and dark magic blend together. The player plays as a teenage girl who wakes up alone in the basement after she and her sister have been kidnapped, and now she needs to find a way to locate and save her sister. The mansion is full of locked rooms, hidden items and codes, lurking threats, and haunted figures, however. The game focuses on exploration and environmental puzzle-solving while the player has to stealthily maneuver their way around enemies and traps, but also grapple with their inner torments and insidious insanity. We use a low-poly art style with pre-made and self-made assets and our setting uses a Synty Studio asset pack (to give you an idea of what it’s based on). Most of the story and environment is created already and each game dev field has its blueprints (including plans, vision, guidelines) to follow, so you’ll have a good foundation to start with.
As for the roles, some more specifics about what we need:
- A VFX artist who can design immersive VFX to enhance the gameplay and atmosphere
- A creative designer to enhance our art style, add to the environment, and handle animations (keep in mind we work in a low-poly environment, so we’d love someone who can work their magic to make it look good, creative, and unique!)
We’re all relatively new to the industry, but we’ve got a good bunch of skills and a lot of passion! Not to mention, we love learning and doing our best for something we love and to surpass ourselves. We’re looking for similar people; someone who loves to create quality products with love, someone eager to develop their skills and knowledge, and someone we can be friends with.
One of our aims is to commercially sell the game. If we earn any revenue, it'll be split among our team. We want to make a successful game and put a product of our ideas, skills, and love out there.
If you are interested in the position or would like to learn more about the game (I have a GDD for those interested), our team, or anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out via my Discord (light.v3) :)
EDIT: We’re still looking!
