RECRUITMENT OPEN TILL SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
Mock-ups of final "Character Bust Arts" Done back as a Style Test.
Good Day Ladies and Gentlemen!
We are currently looking for an enthusiastic Programmer/Scripter and/or Game Designer looking for a project to do. Essentially, we want to produce a game that, although uses RPG Maker MV as an engine, shouldn’t feel so. There are a lot of other in-game factors we still are yet to decide.
This game is specifically going to be turn-based, dungeon, boss rush. We are very open to how you want this game to be in terms of design in direction as long as it works under the current narrative and visual direction we’ve provided. We won’t be using sprites/tilesets.
These are mock-up UI/Assets all put together as a "Style Test". These are all done in Photoshop.
Just to clarify- a “boss rush” is essentially a game that will focus more on combat mechanics rather than exploration and puzzles. We have a good reasoning for this- and we’ll explain why after some time. For now- we’re looking for a Programmer and/or Game Designer capable of filling one or either of roles.
We’ll be building this game from the ground up- from the GDD, to the Prototypes, and Alpha, Beta, and Release. So yes. You get to do some creative part. :)
Project Overview:
Project EDUN 2016: RPG is a limited-scope, sci-fi, fantasy “boss-rush” styled, turn-based RPG. The game’s focus will be using narrative as a “reward mechanic”. It aims to be a streamlined, “easy-to-grab-n-go” RPG game. The assets we’ll be delivering will entirely be based on what newer team members have to offer- so feel free time experiment within the constraints of our current Art Scope.

Story Overview:
The story takes place in a fictional world called Edun. This world, inhabited by Humans- now known as the Nomads- are sandwiched in a war between two ancient races known as the Celestial and the Hellbourne. Some of the citizens of these three races refuse to take sides in this war- and some of us lead our own side to stop this war.

As big as the story scope sounds- we've got that part covered. So don't worry about it.

It would be cool if:
What we expecting to be collaborating on:
Compensation:
- You play a lot of jRPGs- and want to step-up on the “interaction” part of it.
- Enjoys creating “puzzles” of sorts within the limitations of an RPG game’s combat system. (Though- we are open to how you modify the existing system as well!)
- Enjoys and respects working in a team! Communication is key- and you’ll be working with a writer and an artist- and possibly more.
- Can work under soft “deadlines”. It’s a production- and we gotta keep things moving. We are open to keeping things on-going, but we don’t want this project to go above 4-6 months. (Hopefully to be shipped within the month of April 2017. We got some time till then.)
What we expecting to be collaborating on:
- All aspects of pre-production. This includes Design Philosophies, GDDs, and Event/Story Planning. I’ll be organizing a lot of the upcoming meetings and production tasks to get this game done. Rest assured, It’s on my responsibility to keep the coders coding and the designers designing.
- Have a call on Story and Art! Even though we’ve roughly laid out our Beginning, Middle, and End- Gameplay affects a huge factor of the overall “feel” of the game we produce. We’re giving you a voice in our team to make some calls if improves our final output overall.
- Showing your work to the world. It’s been awhile since I personally have had the opportunity to ship a game- heck- I have minimal experience at it. We’re keeping an open mind on how and where we want to put our work out- and we’d want you to be there once we get some testers here and there so we can re-iterate on the game’s overall. It won’t be a <big> product- but we want it to be a well-polished one.
Compensation:
- This is an unpaid opportunity. At the end of the project, we hope to have delivered a portfolio-level product that we are proud of and ready to present for better opportunities. As the team’s Project Lead and Artist, I see it as my responsibility that our game LOOKS cool enough for people to engage on. Now, it’s your responsibility to make sure people ENJOY the actual gameplay side of it.
- I’ve had the opportunity to graduate in a school specializing in Game Development (Digipen, Singapore). My best friend works as a programmer in a Game Studio at the moment as well. Not a promise or anything- but I can assure you that when things get “rough”, I’ll have people to turn to for consultation (be it technical, scope, design, or whatever problems our team are bound to face.) It will be a learning experience.
- There are no plans for monetization as the final product will only be a short playable. Where the game will be publicized is still to be discussed.
- RPG Maker MV
- Skype (It would be extra awesome if you have a mic, as well.)
- Dropbox/Google Drive (for passing files)
Composer and anyone who can help with Post-Production
We are also looking for a Music Composer for the game- but this isn’t urgent at the moment. Still- message us if you’re interested! We’re trying to find a great mix between classic RPG strings and modern rave-like/dubsteppy stuff.
In addition to that, there are some “blind spots” in our time we are currently aware of. This includes community management, publicizing, and other post-production stuff. If you feel like you can help out with these parts of the production, we’re open to hear from you as well.

A sneak peak on our Playable Characters for the project.
Please shoot me an email at TheClintHennesy(at) gmail or PM me here.
Remember to introduce yourself, tell us how you want to contribute. Show some sample screenshots (maybe?) of past projects you’ve done! We’ll be conducting a short interview through Skype eventually if it gets there.
We’re really excited and enthusiastic to work with you guys and am looking forward to get this done!
Thanks so much for reading and I hope you all have a good day ahead.
