[Hobby] I need a gamedevs for my project
Hello everyone!
I'm looking for a programmer/coder familiar with RPG Maker (VX Ace, MV, or any other RPG engine) to help bring my Earthbound-inspired game to life. I have a solid concept, i did compose around, 20, maybe a bit more songs for that game, and I can also draw characters and animations. I'm terrible at coding, tho. I have tried Mother Essentials but got completely lost, also this, the engine is kinda old and lacks documentation.
About the game:
- Genre: surreal turn-based RPG, Earthbound-like atmosphere with dark humor and psychological horror elements.
- Setting: a fictional rural village and its surroundings, inspired by real-life locations and people (inspired by real places).
- Length: aiming for a full-length game (idk how much chapters, but kinda lot).
- Tone: mixture of weird, funny, depressing, and sometimes creepy. (I can share more details in DM)
What I can provide:
- Music and sound design (20+ tracks ready, more planned).
- Character designs and simple animations.
- Story, dialogues, level design concepts (written in detail).
- Playtesting and feedback.
What I need from you:
- Implementing events, battle system, item management, save/load, transitions, etc.
- Advice on engine limitations and optimization.
- (Optional) help with coding custom mechanics if needed.
Project status: Very early stage (only concept + music + some drawings). I'm willing to learn, but I'd rather focus on music/art if someone else takes the coding part.
Portfolio: This is my first game project – I have no previous releases. However, I can share examples of my music (I'll send SoundCloud/YouTube links privately) and some character sketches.
Team format: Non-commercial hobby project. If we finish it and decide to sell (e.g., on Steam), we can discuss rev-share (50/50 or negotiable). For now, it's about passion.
Contact: Please DM me here, and I'll send you my Discord. I'll also share a few tracks and drawings to give you an idea.
I really wanna this idea come to life, so, i am kinda excited for someone to help me :Р
