Hey! It's been a while since I last posted here. I wanted to ask around if there was anyone interested in helping me develop a demo for a game I've been working on for about 3 months with a few others. I can’t pay upfront, but if any profit is made, it’ll be split.

It’s a pixelated 2D Top-Down Metroidvania Roguelite with some Dark Souls aspects, with similar themes and concepts to games like Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, and Ultrakill. The art resembles games like Blasphemous and Slain: Back From Hell.

Sorry, but this is a project within Gamemaker2.

AxelByte, it'd be an honor to work with you! I'm sorry for such a late response, but if you're still free, I'd be happy to program this with you!

Ben, I'd love to work with you! But, to give fair warning, we have about 3 other composers already alongside our sound designer. I'd be happy for you to join, but you would be working alongside others. Is that OK?

Sorry for being MIA for so long, denizens of Itch! I forgot about checking this post due to working on the game. But I'll be sure to check more often

Thank all of you for looking at my previous post! Thanks to you, I've gained 4 talented people in my corner. More than I ever expected to have in this endeavor, if I'm being honest. For anyone who may still be interested, I hope this reaches you!

The game itself is a pixelated, top-down, 2D metroidvania roguelite with some traits/concepts from games like Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, and Ultrakill, with a difficulty similar to Dark Souls. 

To give a quick synopsis, you are a Knight. Sworn by oath to your fair lady. You committed acts of good. You committed acts of evil. All of it in her name. And for the sins you committed as her knight, you've been condemned to the darkest pit of hell. But your oath does not waver.

Cleave your way through hell, with the idea of multiple worlds created for the specific sins all of humanity has made that you must travel through. Death is only starting from the beginning again. Cut through Demons, Sinners, The Devil, and everything in between whilst you harness the powers that be for the sake of returning to your fair lady. (If this sounds familiar, this is a copy-paste from my last post.)

If there's anyone who can help with level design, programming, sound design, or even sprite art, it would be very appreciated! The aim is just to make a demo for now.

Any help is good help. If you’re interested, I’d be glad to work with you.

To put it briefly, you are a Knight. Sworn by oath to your fair lady. You committed acts of good. You committed acts of evil. All of it in her name. And for the sins you committed as her knight, you've been condemned to the darkest pit of hell. But your oath does not waver.

Cut through Demons, Sinners, The Devil, and everything in between whilst you harness the powers that be for the sake of returning to your fair lady.

I don't want to go much further in detail. But that's just the most basic of gists I'm comfortable with giving.

Hey. I’m a guy who’s looking to develop a game without much experience in the field. So far, I’ve been cultivating my own skills and trying to make something great. But I feel like I need help. Any kind of skill, like sprite art or sound design, is welcome.

I know this might sound a little sketchy, and if you help, I can’t really pay. But I have so much faith in this idea I have. And I want to see it come to fruition.

If you have any experience, any tips on how to continue developing, or just some encouragement, it would be well appreciated.
