    Hey, so, I had limited time to develop this jam, so I made more of an experience than a game.

     

    Check out D E S C E N D I N G .... you can run it in your browser!

    Some fun stuff from the dev process;  I experimented with colours and procedural content and screenshots to create an underwater experience. I made / performed the music myself... it's an old ambient tape run through a series of effects. I don't know if I really even like ambient music, but, it was fun to perform! And I think it deffo fits the experience. Cheers ya'll!

    This thread is for recruiting team members! If you have a game idea and need help from a reader with a particular set of skills, post in this thread, preferably in the following format to make it easy for people to skim the thread and find you. You should also look for collaborators in the team seeking thread and come join the #wizardjam channel on the Idle Thumbs Slack channel and see if anyone can help out. Or just drop in and chit-chat with us while you're working on your game! And if you have enough members, please edit your post and note that.

     

    This is the recruiting/LFM thread; if you want to post what you're able to contribute and have someone else find you, use the team seeking/LFG thread.

     

    Format:

    Pitch: Game Pitch (Try and keep this to one or two sentences!)

    What I need: What you need (Artist, programmer, writer, etc)

    What I'm doing: What you're contributing

    Contact Info: Your contact info (PM, email, whatever)

    And optionally:
    Time Zone: It's probably easier to work with people who aren't 12 hours off from you? But maybe it's fine.
    Portfolio: A link to your portfolio / website / whatever if you have one, so people can check your style.

    Then whatever else you want.

     

    Example:

    Pitch: I wanna make 'You, Fisher', a 3D stealth fishing game about casting lines without being spotted by security, and catching as many fish as possible before sunrise. I want to learn UE4 and C++

    What I Need:

    3D artist who can animate some fish (and help with design!)

    Audio person to make some sneaky music and fish noises. Smoky jazz?

    What I'm doing:

    Programming in UE4, Sam Fisher impressions

    Contact info:

    PM me on the forums or message me on the Idle Thumbs Slack

    Time Zone: 
    EST (UTC -5) but I'm usually up late

    Portfolio:

    Here's my website with some gifs of other games I've made! www.puffin.biz 

     

    I've been a fan of Splinter Cell since first seeing screenshots of their dynamic shadows in ~2005 and I have a Sam Fisher bust above my fireplace. I'd like the game to have a light stealth system, fully rigged realistic humanoid characters, and a dynamic music system that's entirely early-2000s style drum and bass but made exclusively out of samples of water splashing and seagull noises.

    Queer Eye, the reboot on the Netflix is :tup::tup: You'll like it because makeovers and home improvements are the #content everyone enjoys, but the show really goes above and beyond to create an emotional human connection with the makeover subjects. Except the episode with the cop, fuck you netflix now, i gotta see a maga hat every time i open u up, wtf dude

    :tdown: I recommend avoiding Mute, the Duncan Jones movie on the 'flix. It's bad in almost every way. You get a miscast Paul Rudd, and a relatively dull cast otherwise. It's set in a cyberpunk world, but the story is neither cyber nor punk. The mystery noir story it attempts to tell is completely meandering and unfollowable. The only redeeming moments are when Paul Rudd gets to do Paul Rudd acting and be a futuristic asshole.

    Weirdly this is a Netflix film in Europe, i think we're getting it mid March. Yeah 12th March, how crazy is that :tup:

    Yeah, we were talking about that in Slack yesterday. Weird! Seems like the producers lost faith in the film, marketing was a weak effort. Ya'll Euro Netflixers got something good to look forward to.
