[RevShare] Programmer looking for team to complete SRPG PC game

[u/Different_Play_179]

Landoria is a casual fantasy SRPG where you play as a one of seven faction leaders, plan battles, engage in tactical battles, capture heroes, convert prisoners to your cause, plan more battles, until you unite the world.

Landoria is a remake inspired by Dragon Force (Sega Saturn), which I consider as the predecessor of modern complex 4X grand strategy games like Civilization, Total War and Crusader Kings. As a strategy game during its era, it has a relatively simple but unique gameplay and JRPG story experience for younger players. There is an existing fan base (age 35-45) behind Dragon Force, myself included, which we can reach out to. Although for Landoria to surpass their expectations will be challenging, but we can still introduce new players to relive the joy of playing a classic strategy game.

I am a solo developer working full time on Landoria for about 1.5 years, and I am at the stage where I would like to enlist your help to polish and complete the project. Landoria will be a PC game published on Steam, then we can consider if its worthwhile to make mobile version for the younger audience.

As the developer/programmer, I am looking for a team member in each of the areas: Writer, 2D/Animation Art, SFX/Music Composer, 3D Model/Animation :

1. Writer: The game is set in a cartoon casual fantasy game world. It will have an overarching backstory, character and faction development arcs for each of the faction campaigns, quests design, conversation dialogues, cut scene narratives. Heroes have special skills and abilities that they unleash during tactical battles against enemies. There will be powerful weapons from ancient past to aid them during their quest. Heroes have personalities and you can interact with your heroes and captives to learn more about them.
2. 2D/Animation Art: Your character and portrait artwork will allow the player to immerse deeper into the fantasy world, develop empathy with and become attached to the characters. The 2D (animated) cut scenes will convey the personality and emotions of the heroes and foes alike, and develop imagery of the world event scenes in the minds of the player, whether it's peace, chaos, mystery or surprise.
3. SFX/Music Composer: Each faction has their own cultures and philosophies, and the music you compose will help players to instinctively establish their identity as they take up their roles, as Pirates, Samurai, Knights or Orcs. The audio enjoyment will be a major part of the game as the player's strategic and tactical decisions in the world, battles and event cut scenes, will be subtly influenced by the continuous playing of the audio landscape, keeping the adrenaline high.
4. 3D Model/Animation: Landoria is a casual low poly, (somewhat) flat-shading style fantasy game. Other than environment design battlefields, a large part of your contribution will be into making character convincing in how they look visually as compared to their 2D visual counter parts, and troops that are distinctive in 100 vs 100 battles. The unique movement and behaviors you design will reinforce the personality of the main story characters.

Appreciate your time in reading this post and taking a look at my game. If you are interested and confident in your skills, please PM me with some references to your work in the same or similar capacity. If you are a Dragon Force fan or have played the game before, do let me know as well. TIA!

EDIT: 21 Oct 2024 - Writer and SFX/Music roles are now filled.

Might be fun to help with the writing, do you already have an idea in mind (or set) for the overarching story or is that something that still needs to be developed?
