[UNPAID] AQP - Engineer and Programmer Needed -- Mid Sized Adventure Game

Project Title:
AQP

Description:
AQP is a first person adventure game focused around suspense, and mystery. It’s a semi-open world game with linear storytelling. You play as a lone survivor on their journey to what could be sanctuary, in a world that’s gone silent, and empty. You won’t need weapons to survive, but your wits and instinct. This game is based off a film from Paramount Pictures.

Additional information:
This will be a 5-10 minute demo, and will be pitched for licensing, then funding to make the full game. I have experience of successful game pitches/demos, that received funding from a publisher.

Includes:

  • Suspenseful adventure/atmosphere.

  • Semi-open world environments. (e.g. Alan Wake, Until Dawn).
  • Focus on narrative.

Hey all, still looking for people to join.

Still looking for an engineer and a programmer. I found one programmer, but would like to have options.

Hey all, project is still in the works, and would like the additional help. :slight_smile:

Hey all, still looking for these roles. Also we’re making great progress for the narrative, which we’ll use snippets of for the demo.

To attract people it would be a good idea to show what you have archieved so far in the last half year, e.g. 3d models, levels.

Very true, I just don’t have any at the moment. I’m hoping to have some soon though. I’m more focused on gameplay mechanics, and the narrative.

Still looking to fill these roles. I’ve been doing art for my portfolio to keep it up to date, for jobs. but I will have some art for this project soon. I’m mostly interested in grey boxing for gameplay mechanics and narrative first and foremost. Then dive into the art.
