Looking for developers for Multiplayer FPS Game w/ Battle Royale

Unity Engine
1

Hello Unity Community! I am currently looking for developers who are willing to work for free on a project. By free I mean while making the project no payment will be given, but based on sales and price will be the payment. I am looking for 1-3 developers. If I have 1 the payment will be split 50/50, if its 2 than 33/34/33, if it is 3 than 25/25/25/25. I have the framework of the game made. What needs to be done is the following:
Battle Royale Gamemode(I have the Zone(Circle), airdrops, and plane system done.
Inventory System(Like CS:GO Skins)
More Maps(If you also do map designs)

Thank you!

Seriously?

Queue up another ‘The Idea Guy’ Video.

To put it more bluntly:
If you think your Idea is good, prove it and get the funds to pay your devs. Here it’s “put up or shut up.”

Really is no way to prove it without the game being released but here is my idea:
Steam Market Place. Sell it for $10 for these reasons. Fortnite only did better than PUBG because it is a free game, I think we can all agree on that, right? PUBG still did very well none the less. PUBG Sells for $30 and only recently added in game purchases. This game will have an item shop with cases like CSGO. I own semi big discord servers so advertising is not a problem so getting it onto the steam market place will be easy, people will see the game and my thoughts are every game still has some players, whether it be a million or just a hundred. If the game is good enough then more people will buy it. Until we get a big player base, most of the money will be put towards advertising.

It’s super easy to proof. Make a prototype and take it some game dev contests. You will get funds easilty if it worth something.

Alright thank you!

I think it’s a good idea to have other people take a look at your idea and give you an honest feedback (honest being: here’s money = good, everything else meaning nope!).

Just make sure your idea stands out. Look at Steam - searching for ‘Battle Royale’ returns 19 pages (!) each with 22 games that are a BR derivative, most costing between nothing and USD 3. So make sure you can tell the interested parties why your game stands out among the >400 games that all do BR, and why your idea is better than, say Apex Legends, which is also free and is backed by EA.Find that one idea that makes it stand apart, and give an estimate how much you need to create the minimal viable product. If you can do that prototype yourself, do it, and bring it along.

I think what @csofranz was talking about is what are you brining to the table?
You asked in the scripting forum so I assume your looking for a coder.

Are you the artist? Or just “the idea guy”?
(Psst… everyone has ideas, good and bad)

I am also a developer(c#, js, java, html, php) and a graphic designer(like mascotts and logos)

P.S: I said I am looking for developers in the post

As so often, you are spot on. But I already was blunt, so I don’t want to rub it in… :slight_smile:

Please visit Unity Connect when looking for team members. That is the community page where you can solicit for team mates to work on a project.

I have also seen reddit’s r/gamedev active with such stuff as well.

Keep in mind if you’re only an “idea guy” you probably won’t get a lot of bites since as already mentioned ideas are a dime a dozen. My partner and I have notebooks piled on notebooks full of fleshed out game designs. Some we hope to do in the future, some just sitting in those books long forgotten over the years. We sometimes just sit down for an evening with a notebook and just spit ball game designs. My personal fave as a way to exercise creativity is attempt to design for genres we despise (like sports games, which I hate).

This isn’t to say an “idea guy” isn’t all bad. A pure ‘design’ role is possible… but you need to have full mock-ups with granular design plans. If your design is only in your head, I can guarantee it’s enough to warrant that as a sole job. But if you have a notebook full of this one game, with mechanics explained on the math level, concept work, etc… sure, you might actually have something there. Maybe… but most likely not if it’s just a rehash of the same game out there that exists (yay, another battle royale game… if it was 5 years ago it’d be another minecraft clone, but with guns! or some mundane twist).

If you aren’t just an “idea guy”.

Well then what’s your skill?

You a programmer?

You an artist?

You an animator?

You a music guy?

I just stated this above. I am a developer and graphic designer.

Yes, I wrote my post while you were posting that.

Though, just saying you’re a developer isn’t much.

I’ll give you an example…

I am a developer/programmer with 13+ years experience writing C#, as well as several other languages like C++, Java, Javascript, VB.Net, and many others. I have also dabbled in ARM assembly and Motorola 68000 assembly.

My partner and I have made several games together, 2 of which are currently available on steam (you can find links in my signature).

My inspirations are primarily 90’s era video games on the Sega Genesis, SNES, Sega Saturn, Playstation 1, and Dreamcast. As well as SCUMM style adventure games from the PC in the 80’s and 90’s. Designers who have inspired me the most are:
Eric Chahi (future wars, another world, from dust)
Greg Johnson (TJ&E)
Yuji Naka (sonic)
David Perry (Aladdin genny, Earthworm Jim, MDK)
Anything by Treasure

The skills I can bring to the table are:
Extensive programming knowledge with years of experience in Unity that I know the engine inside and out, as well as a suite of tools (my spacepuppy framework) that I use to extend the editor and ease the development process for me and my partner in development.

…

This isn’t to say I’m at all interested in your project. Not auditioning what so ever… I have my own projects to work on.

BUT, if I were interested, this is the sort of information I’d want to know. Why would 5 developers put their time into YOUR idea? Convince them.

And here I was, thinking I was the only one who knew who Eric Chahi is - although to me, his masterpiece will always be known as ‘Out of this world’, as it was called on the Mac.

“Out of this World” is the North American title of “Another World”
