Onion RPG (looking for devs)

[small aurora]

Onion RPG

A real-time simplified political RPG/framework that mimic the systems of real world with simplified logic.

I put my focus on simplicity with hidden complexity, even the most complex game needs to be fun, that's why I created this game.

I was upset of too much complexity on political RPGs that kills the fun of the game (why you need to waste 24 hours of your life to win a war? wtf).

Inspired on the following games:

That's quite a heavy goal you set there...
If payment was an option, I could dedicate a few hours per week, but such a task for (possible) revshare is not something I can do with a fulltime job and a family to support.

I'm intrigued though

[arctic wasp]

Same. I might contribute once the base of the project is made.

[small aurora]

It depends, the goals seems "high" but the implementation of them is mid-term difficult, depends on your skills.

The game will use stats relations, just that.

[small aurora]

We don't have the stats implemented yet, feel free to help us, a good base will avoid future breaks of complexity.

What qualifications are needed?

[small aurora]

2D, variables, AI, nodes, the basics.

[arctic wasp]

I might join the project but I cannot guarantee that I can always work on it

[small aurora]

No problem.

[arctic wasp]

You should probably start a github repository or something similar

[small aurora]

I already have, it's on the post.

[arctic wasp]

Oh sorry I didn't see that

To me at least it looks like you have a start of a GDD but there is still a long way to go until the planning phase is done. I'm wanting to focus more on a different style of project so I'm not going to contribute, but I wish you the best of luck and encourage those interested to contribute and make it great.
