Hey I'm Sam and I'm looking for a programmer to collaborate on a project with. Hopefully we mesh well together in terms of our design sensibilities and personalities so we can be internet buddies. If you live around the Los Angeles area, we can grab a beer and be buddies in real life. Because more important than the project itself, I'm looking for a programmer that I can vibe with so we can have a good time making the kind of games we'd like to make.
Alright so I like samurai drama, I really like the cinematic presentation and lack of clutter of Another World, and I really really like Hotline Miami's visceral visual feedback (also love the fact that each click corresponds to one slam of the cranium onto the floor). I want to combine these elements to create a game.
Top-down cinematic meditative action game is the tentative genre name I came up with while inebriated.
Here's a mock-up I made to make some sense of all the above.
Visual style is something I want to get right, which is a mix of ink, watercolors, architectural illustrations.
Game feel is something I really want to get right. I want to be able to feel each lunge and slash.
Thanks for reading and if you're interested, shoot me a message.
