I think you meant the map/scene builder version (already sent VFX last turn) — here it is:
Most multiplayer games are designed to extract attention. We’re building one designed to be mastered.
It’s a stylized platform fighter — 2 to 8 players, last one standing, vote-to-pick maps, and a movement system built around sprinting, dashing, spinning, and combat that actually rewards skill. The inspiration Super Smash Bros / Rumble Fighter, with the polish and feel of Fortnite.
No pay-to-win. No advantage you can buy. A new player with the default character should be able to beat someone who’s spent thousands, purely through skill. That’s the design core at the heart of it.
Smash worked because the fundamentals were perfect. We’re aiming for the same kind of staying power, a game people still play in ten years because the moment-to-moment feel never gets old.
Maps are where the game actually lives. Every fight should flow through space that’s been designed intentionally. Clean sightlines, smart verticality, intentional flow, no dead zones. Each map needs its own visual identity, stylized and instantly recognizable, while staying perfectly readable in the middle of an 8-player fight. If you have exceptional ability here we’d love to talk.
This is not a paint-by-numbers gig. You’ll be shaping core feel from the ground up, not polishing someone else’s work. We’re looking for people who obsess over details 99% of players will never notice explicitly but will absolutely feel.
What we expect:
• A portfolio with at least 2 exceptional examples
• Obsession with feel, polish, and detail
• Fast iteration, low ego, good taste
• Self-driven with minimal hand-holding needed
Compensation:
Contract-based with strong, competitive pay. Final number depends on experience, scope, and fit. We pay well for people who raise the bar.
If this is the kind of thing you’d want to spend time on, send your portfolio and a short note on what you’d want to own.
