TIME-TRAVELLING
Stop playing history. Be it.
Project: Historical exploration game
Engine: Unreal Engine 5
Compensation: Revenue Share / Royalties
Looking for: UE5 Developer and 3D Environment Artist
The Concept
Time-Travelling is an ambitious first-person exploration game built around a simple but unusual idea:
What if you could experience history instead of merely playing through it?
Rather than focusing on combat, grinding, or predetermined quests, the game aims to create believable historical environments where players can explore, interact, and make their own discoveries.
The project combines a carefully designed narrative introduction with a much broader long-term vision for historical exploration.
The core concept, gameplay mechanics, and initial visual direction have already been developed.
The First Milestone
I’m looking for collaborators to create a small, playable prototype in Unreal Engine 5.
The initial environment is a mysterious, self-contained penthouse overlooking Cologne, containing a time machine, living facilities, and a number of interactive objects.
The first goal is to create a convincing, walkable environment featuring basic interactions, environmental atmosphere, and an initial gameplay framework.
Concept art and a preliminary 3D blockout are available.

Collaboration
I’m the project’s originator and creative lead, responsible for its concept, narrative direction, and historical vision.
I’m looking for technical and artistic collaborators interested in building something distinctive together.
The project currently has no upfront development budget. The intention is to establish a written revenue-sharing / royalty agreement before development begins. No income is guaranteed.
Project ownership and creative direction would remain with me, with clearly defined rights and contributions for collaborators.
Further details can be discussed privately with interested candidates.
