We’re currently two people working on a demo/prototype for a game that we hope to take to crowdfunding and/or pitch to a publisher. If funding acquisition is successful, we can bring people on in paid positions, so we want the demo to be as good as possible to really wow people, and so we need help to see that happen. I’ve basically managed to do quite a bit on my own despite my meagre skills, but I can only go so far on my own.
Currently we are offering rev-share, but with the potential for proper contractual work if we acquire proper funding.
Project Title:
Trapped With Us
Description:
Trapped With Us is a 3D action-adventure/fighting game in development in UE4, currently in the prototyping stage, inspired by games like Super Smash Bros, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Dark Souls, and others, blending melee and ranged combat designed to be easy to learn but hard to master, as well as unique dialogue and interaction mechanics. The premise revolves around the player working to free several fighters from across the multiverse who are being forced to participate in sadistic ‘tournaments’ for the sick pleasure of a mysterious being. The game is planned to have at least six playable characters at eventual release, as well as a full single-player campaign and multiplayer.
The ultimate goal of this project is to create an action game that is not only satisfying to play, but also provides a narrative experience not scene in games before with the aim of eliminating non-interactive cutscenes.
Includes:
- An intuitive combat system that mixes melee and ranged combat, with multiple characters and customisation options.
- An interaction system enabling greater depth and flexibility than most action games allow.
- A real-time dialogue system with the aim of making a full-fledged real-time interactive story, partly inspired by Half-Life 2.
- In-depth singleplayer, co-op and multiplayer modes .
- Stylised visuals, currently intended to be akin to Gravity Rush 2 (stylised cel-shaded characters, more realistic environments).
