Hi, I'm Jahin, a high school student, passionate into indie game development. I am mainly a competitive programmer.
Recently, I have played Hollow Knight: Silksong (If you never played Hollow Knight you can see the concept and idea at the end). And Ioved its' story, game design, graphics, all just perfect, which motivated me to create a game like this. Not same as that, but something unique but kinda like that. But alone handling sprite design, animations along with writing the codes is not an easy task for me. Additionally, I will not get much time after my classes start (currently I am in a kindof vacation you can say).
I tried to design sprites myself, but it feels like something is off. Especially, I am really bad at animating. I tried animating the idle and walking state for the protagonist, but still my design isn't pleasing me. Therefore, I am looking for a sprite designer, mainly vector and if you can do animation too, then that would be best. This work is only out of passion. If we succeed to make it into a full game then that would be great as well. Though, I am not a very good game dev, but will try my best.
I will use Unity for the game and sprite designs should be Vector , if you are also high schooler, then that's great.
"The concept and design:" The game will be a 2D Platformer type game with a storyline. There will be boss fights. It will require good amount of animations but the good thing is that the sprite designs will be minimal, like less detailed, small elements. It will be like a fantasy game. What story I have thought about is, like in Hollow Knight, the characters were insects, in my game the characters, enemies will be birds (and maybe some insects too).
Feel free to DM me if you are interested to collaborate in the project! ☺️
(If you are skilled in any other position like sound design, GUI or any other stuffs, and willing to help, then you can let me know too!)
