polar echo
Hey there!
I am working on an indie game called Leapforge, a post-apocalyptic pixel art platformer set in the year 2040 on the dark, AI-dominated planet Adritis Prime. You play as Orion, a robot survivor of a failed rebellion, escaping Adritis and navigating towards a mysterious planet where his spaceship crashes on Ylon, a place that may hold freedom and hope. The game blends themes of evil AI, strange worlds, and completing tasks, perfect for fans of dystopian sci-fi and retro platformers.
You can check out the current prototype and art here:

Who I am Looking For
I am seeking passionate collaborators who love the vibe and want to help shape the future of Leapforge. Specifically:
2D pixel artists.
Music composers (dark ambient, synthwave, or experimental sounds welcome).
Story writers (world-building, dialogue, lore).
GDevelop programmers (or anyone curious to learn and build together).
What is in It for You?
This is a passion project, so while I can't offer payment at this stage, I can promise:
-
Receive full creative credit for your contributions.
-
Artistic freedom to explore ideas and contribute meaningfully.
-
A collaborative, respectful environment where your input truly matters.
-
Portfolio exposure through game platforms and future showcases.
-
While I continue investing in Leapforge over time, creative collaborators will benefit from the growing resources and shared progress.
Progress so far:
-
Level one tileset and gameplay.
-
Animated characters and promotional art.
-
Story backgrounds, menu art, branding.
-
Music, SFX, physics, collectables, bug fixes.
-
Itch.io page and prototype live.
Let us forge something together.
Feel free to reach out here or via dm.
