Me and my friend are currently working on plans for a competitive top-down battle royale game inspired by games like ZombsRoyale and Surviv.io, but with a stronger focus on polished gameplay, progression, and competitive systems.

The project is currently in early planning/prototyping stages and we’re mainly looking to:

meet other developers
get feedback/advice
potentially build a small long-term team

Planned features:

Solo / Duos / Squads
Large map with multiple zones/POIs
Loot rarity system
Inventory + healing systems
Shrinking storm/zone
Ranked play + leaderboards
Seasonal progression
Cosmetics/unlockables
Fast responsive combat
Stylized visuals

Areas we’re interested in:

Multiplayer/network programming
Gameplay programming
UI/UX
Environment/map design
VFX/SFX/animation

This is currently a hobby/learning project while we prototype ideas and test gameplay systems.

Would appreciate advice from anyone experienced with multiplayer or competitive game development.

So me and a few friends are currently planning a Roblox game called Junkyard Empire (name might change later). The game is inspired by addictive progression games with farming, trading, automation, collectibles, and gambling-style systems mixed together into one polished experience.

The core gameplay is:

Start with a tiny junkyard plot
Farm scrap, garbage, crates, metal, and rare loot
Sell resources for coins
Upgrade your land with machines, conveyors, workers, and factories
Unlock automation systems
Open lucky crates/spin systems for rare items & pets
Collect mutations, cosmetics, decorations, and limited items
Trade valuable loot with other players
Compete on monthly leaderboards for Robux rewards

We want the game to feel highly polished and satisfying with a stylized “Toy Story”-inspired look instead of realistic graphics.

The scope is pretty large, so we’re currently looking for developers interested in helping build the project.

Main things we need help with:

Scripting/programming
UI design
3D modeling
Animations/VFX/SFX
Map/environment building
Systems like trading, pets, inventory, crates, progression, etc.

This is a paid project. Payment can be discussed depending on your role, experience, and what you’re able to contribute.

We’re mainly looking for people who are passionate about making a fun long-term game and are willing to collaborate. Even if you’re newer to development but have skill and motivation, feel free to reach out.

If interested, DM me with:

What you specialize in
Previous work/portfolio (if you have one)
Your Discord username

If you’re not interested, that’s completely fine too.
