Hello everyone,
I’m looking to put together a small team of 3 people (including myself) to build an online ARPG in the style of Diablo/Path of Exile, but with a 2D pixel art look.
About me:
I’m a professional software developer with strong experience in multiplayer backend development. I’ve even built full MMO server backends before.
My role on this project will be handling the backend and also contributing to engine/gameplay programming.
Who I’m looking for:
A programmer focused on frontend/engine/gameplay development.
A 2D pixel artist (or a general artist comfortable handling most of the art side).
A bit about the game:
It’s online, but not a massive MMO. Think more lobby-based, with 4–6 players per instance.
The business model is already planned out, so this isn’t just a casual hobby idea.
Beyond just this project, I’d also like to connect with other developers who are interested in building games long-term. Ideally, this could be the start of finding solid game dev partners to work with on future projects as well.
If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out. No pressure or rush, I’m happy to discuss things openly first.
