Indie RTS Game Project – Seeking a Technical Co-Founder / Unreal Engine Developer
I’m developing an original real-time strategy game inspired by Eastern folklore, legendary adventures, and classic RTS games.
The project follows Sinbad on a journey from Baghdad into a hidden mythological world of powerful jinn, legendary creatures, ancient mysteries, and epic battles.
What I bring:
Story development and dialogue writing
Campaign and mission design
Character concepts, abilities, and narrative arcs
A developing vision for the world, gameplay systems, and overall experience
Who I’m looking for:
A motivated Unreal Engine developer with experience or a strong interest in RTS gameplay, unit control, combat systems, AI, and prototyping.
The first goal is not to build a huge game immediately. It’s to develop a small playable prototype, test the core gameplay, and evaluate the project’s potential together.
I’m looking for a genuine creative and technical collaboration. Compensation, ownership, and future commitments would need to be discussed transparently before any long-term agreement.
If you’re interested, please share a little about your experience, previous projects, and what kind of collaboration you’re looking for.
Your RTS game idea is absolutely great! Combination of Eastern folklore, mythology, and typical RTS gameplay is amazing!
I am a game developer with more than 6 years of experience in Unity and C# development. Multiplayer gameplay development experience includes MMORPG game design, player movement and combat systems, AI and networking.
At the moment, I am learning Unreal Engine and C++ and I am very interested in RTS game development. Although my knowledge of Unreal Engine is currently growing, I am sure that my experience in game programming will allow me to catch up quickly and work on your project.
In addition, I appreciate your idea to create a playable prototype from the very beginning.
It would be nice to discuss your project in detail.
Hi! Thank you for your encouraging response. I’m glad the idea interests you!
I’d be happy to discuss the project in more detail. I’ve been playing RTS games for around 20 years, and my creative vision is strongly influenced by the Eastern folklore and legends I grew up with in Syria.
My strengths are story development, dialogue, character creation, and campaign and mission design. I don’t have a programming budget at the moment, so I’m looking for a genuine technical partner who would be interested in developing the project together, starting with a small playable prototype.
I’d love to learn more about your previous projects and see some examples of your work. If possible, we could also continue the discussion privately.
Hi! Thanks for getting back to me.
I’d be happy to share examples of my previous projects and discuss how we could collaborate. I’m interested in learning more about your vision and exploring how we could bring the prototype to life together.
And Share me your contact info.
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that this is an unpaid project, not a paid job.
A developer joined the project earlier, but the project is currently on hold because the overall vision is very ambitious. It could involve more than 40 stages, and I believe it would require a full team to bring it to life properly, rather than just two or three people.
I’ve seen your work, and I’m genuinely impressed by it! I think you have some great skills, and I wish you the best of luck with your future projects. Keep up the great work!
