Hi! You can call me Aika I’m 24 and I’m looking for people who would like to join our team! We are gonna move now into preproduction and we would love some help! I´m a concept artist and a storyteller with a huge dream of telling my story in a playable way. This story is really important for me and I want the dream of making it into a game come true!
We are committed to finish this project no matter how much time it takes, but we understand not everyone can commit 24/7. All the work you produce can be used in your portfolio as long as it doesn´t contain heavy spoilers and you will ALWAYS get credit for the work you produce no matter how much you do.

Goal
The current goal is to create a playable Demo of 30min-1h, from there we will look for a roadmap to create the full project. Right now we don´t have a budget but we will look into the option of getting one after we see the results of the demo (If that is the case everyone will be compensated even if you leave the team before this happens. For now, this is just an option for the future so we won´t count on that for now).

Short Synopsis:
You will help Orla in her journey, during the day you will help the villagers and explore the surrounding forest, during the night you will face your own nightmares of the mistakes of your past. You were told your whole life how bad forest people are…yet you still think about that one you befriended when you were small and who betrayed you. When a meteorite falls, you will have to face your past and recover its power before they do it… unless it was all a lie and by recovering the meteorite you awaken an old force that starts corrupting and killing everything in its surroundings. Now you will have to adventure in the magic forest and face the corruption defeating the evil you awaken.
Open positions:
Programming:
- Programmer general: Our programmers can´t put much time into this project so we looking for someone who would give us a hand with the basic quests, minigames, etc. Interest in designing quests to help me out is a +.
- Programmer for Combat: You will work closely with our level designer and program the combat mechanics. You will create different tests to explore the different variables.
Art Pixel and Non-Pixel (We are 2 artists; a Pixel artist and me a concept artist but as I’m busy with all the other aspects of the game we would love some help):
- Top-Down character Pixel Sprites: Bonus if you can do character design to help me speed the process.
- Creature Top-Down Pixel sprites: We need help designing and drawing the mobs.
- Sprite for dialog NON-Pixel: Illustrations of the emotions of the characters for their text bubble.
- Illustrations for the cinematics: Key art of some emotional and impactful scenes.
Writer:
- Right now I’m the one writing everything, I would love a second person who would help me out writing quests, characters and in general to discuss the general world feeling. For me, it is key to make strong emotions shine in the storytelling. I want to make sure to push for characters to feel relatable.
