Hello!

Who Am I?

Snayff, a hobbyist with a hope of making games. I have been working on something in my spare time.
https://github.com/Snayff/godot_combat_test
https://github.com/Snayff/godot_nav_test

What are the Headlines?

Duration: 3-4 weeks, full time.
Budget: £2-3k.
Objective: Build the core functionality of a real time, 2D game. Think Hero's Hour's chaotic combat, Total War's formations & units, and Nova Drift's skill system.
Start: Next week/week after. (week commencing 02/09 or 09/09)

What is the Work?

Architecturally, I want to favour composition over inheritance, though I want to use Godot's capabilities most of all.

The work is in 2 parts.
Part 1: Initial code review to understand your knowledge, your priorities.
Part 2: Start a new game, using anything from the repos linked above, as appropriate. I'd like your input into how to best make the most of your time. Here are some of the core features I have in mind, which we'll agree before we kick off work:

  • physics-focused gameplay. *
  • actors working in cohesive units, inc. formations.
  • actor/unit pathfinding
  • projectiles, melee. *
  • ai state. (LimboAI, perhaps?)
  • status effects. *
  • active skills, passive skills. *
  • stat system.
    Those with an "" are functional in the linked repos. *

I'd also like to start on some design workflows, time permitting.

What is the Proposed Process?

Payment: By milestone. 25% on agreeing work, 25% on confirming feature works and meets brief, 50% on receipt of code/code merge.
Payment method: Paypal preferred, open to others.
Agreement: Contract to be signed before work.

Application

Please share the following:

  • Name.
  • Indicative rate.
  • Portfolio.
  • Details of your experience, linking it to the specifics above.

If you have a post already, and it covers the above, feel free to share a link.

Please ensure you provide the requested info in your message; I will reply to all who do so.


I look forward to hearing from you!

This post is tagged wrong; you seem to be hiring, not for hire.

#

(Happens all the time! But some folks filter only to "hiring," so if you want more eyes on this, you'll probably want to fix that.)
