Hello, my name is Aeriz, and I’m a streamer, dungeon master, and game developer.
For years, I’ve tried playing Dungeons and Dragons on different platforms such as Roll20, Tabletop Simulator, FoundryVTT, etc., but none of them offered me the immersive, smooth, and intuitive feel that I was looking for. That’s why, as a game developer myself, I started the journey to make my own Virtual Tabletop (VTT) for Dungeons and Dragons or any other tabletop role-playing game.
After only 1 year of solo development in Unreal Engine 5, I was able to make a bare-bones playable version of the program that I have named Realm Weaver, and ran a short campaign with my friends. We had a blast! The visuals, environment, and feel of the game were a completely different experience than our usual game nights.
There’s still so much more to accomplish in this program, and I’ve done a TON of work on my own, but I’m just one programmer (and only an intermediate one at that). That’s why I’m here, to find a small team of developers that not only know programming but have a deep love and understanding for tabletop role-playing games and will help make this program both easy and intuitive for new users, and deeply customizable for advanced ones.
Payment can be discussed between us and will be known by everybody on the team, just to keep everything above board. I AM NOT A WEALTHY MAN! Funding for this project will probably only be a couple hundred dollars a month AT MOST for the moment. I currently have a GoFundMe and am looking for work, so this is subject to change (hopefully soon!). If interested, we can discuss a percentage of ownership for the game in leu of hourly/milestone payments with which you will earn income from the final product.
Here’s a fun video showcasing the first game we played in the program (keep in mind that the visuals and UI are all going to change as the game develops. I just wanted to show the overall feel of what I’m going for and show that there is a tangible thing being worked on!):
