Hi everyone! ✨

I’ve seen so many people wishing for more whimsical, feminine fantasy games, and it's part of why my sister and I started working on this game called Threadworld. It's a dress-up and exploration game, loosely inspired by games we adore like Infinity Nikki, Spiritfarer, and cozy pixel games.

We’re currently a small team of just my sister and I, handling pretty much everything except the programming, which is done by a lovely volunteer developer (no generative AI has or will be used in the making of this game btw!)

In Threadworld you play as Sofie, a burned out fashion designer, who chases her cat into a magical realm where she goes on a quest to find him. Through exploring the world and doing quests you can find and craft new outfits to wear. Outfits also aren't only cosmetic, some of them will affect how you can interact with the environment around you and let you progress the story.

We're still at a very early stage with the game, as we just released an early prototype and are now working on adding more characters and gameplay, and improving the visuals :) Our longer term goals are to add more gameplay mechanics, puzzles, tons of outfits (of course), and different fantasy regions to explore, with aesthetics like fairies, mermaids, gothic castles, and cottagecore villages.

If this sounds like your type of game, you can check out the prototype on itch.io: [Threadworld]

Thank you for reading ❤️

Hi all!

We are two siblings who are creating a magical/fantasy indie game aimed towards us girls (we've noticed a big market gap here) with an immersive narrative, and are in need of an artist.

Our background:

I've personally been in the gaming industry for 10 years working in community, marketing and game design, and have also studied business. I'm handling game design, project management, working on building a community for the game and eventually doing any investment/business side stuff we may need if this goes further. My sister is a writer and partial artist, she's doing worldbuilding, story, creative direction, as well as pixel art.

The game and what we need:

The game is about a girl with burnout from her career, who gets pulled into a fantasy world chasing after her cat. She journeys through different regions trying to find her cat and slowly rediscovers her passion along the way. It will include plenty of narrative scenes between the main character and NPCs/creatures, as well as pixel art exploration (to keep the scope down). The game will feature many outfits and dress up/styling elements.

This means we're looking for an artist who can do semi-realistic anime style characters, as well as detailed outfits and outfit pieces, as they're a key part of the game.

This would start as a little 'hobby'/project to get a working prototype ready, that I could then take to some investor contacts I have and see if we could get funding and turn this into a full size game, at which point we'd love to discuss a full-time artist position with us.

We have found a game dev ready to work with us, so now we just need an artist to make this happen!

If you're interested you can leave a comment, send me a DM, or send an email to: lumo_studio@outlook.com
