Long, long ago,
In an editor far, far away....
I want to take you back to a simpler time...
A time when video games where simple but just plain fun...

I have an idea for a mobile game that is intended to capture that nostalgia and the purest essence of game play.
This will not be a massive complicated game initially. The initial MVP is a 2d sprite based, top down sports game. It will require just a few assets and so is ideal for an indie project.
I plan to get this app into the app stores this year, hopefully within 6 months, with or without help.
Once complete, the following phase of this project will be to develop a Mixed Reality version of this sports game (for the Quest 3).
It will project a stadium onto an MR world in your living room and players will be able compete with each other, AI or mobile players using cross play.
This is the ultimate goal for the game but the 2d version is a stop gap solution which will facilitate a phased approach to iron out the main game play and AI with a product worth taking to market.
The MR market is massively undersaturated and I believe a product of this nature could be successful.
Plus, once again, there are far fewer assets required for this MR title than are required for a standard 3d game.
We just need the players, stadium and a ball.
The main objective is to make both versions fun because that is really the only thing that matters.
As indie developers we cannot possibly compete with triple A, big budget titles, but we can compete in terms of imagination, ideas and the desire to create good old fashions fun video games.

I'm new to this engine but not to code. I debated as to whether my skillset in this area precluded initiating a group project right now, but perhaps the journey itself will be fun.
And it's easier to motivate when there are multiple contributors.
That said, I intend to be devoting most of my spare time to this project.
So, I'm looking for developers of any level.
We will also need sprites (initially) and graphics, so people with digital art/animation skills or even just people with the desire to learn these skills are welcome, too.
All that really matters is that you are enthusiastic, passionate, willing to improve and have spare time.

Something like this ^ on mobile. Then.... in MR
(and, clearly nothing to do with Star Wars, but, I made you look, right???)
And for the older developers who remember this from their childhood...

We could even make a version of Subbuteo in MR, if we can get hand tracking right.

Hey, this seems like a cool learning experience for me. Ive seen you comment on Player´s forum post. As i said there im good with the main godot aspects but im not the best of designers. So im willing to help and participate on this journey 😃

I'll see if there are a few others interested. And if so then i will consider how to put something together as a group project, we can work on.

I'll set something up on another server which we can have full control over. Please join us there, if interested...

And there are no commitments or expectations for contributions. If you have time and want to learn, this should be an interesting place.
