Project name: Junkers Brief description: For the past month I've been creating artwork and mockups while defining the game with a design document. I've toyed with this game idea for a long time and I believe I have something that is achievable, unique and most of all fun. Junkers is a fast paced, squad-based game with emphasis on quick tactical thinking and a fun retro-game vibe. Players control a team of "Junkers", men who raid derelict spacecraft for valuable machinery, technology and equipment. Things are made tough however by competing Junker teams, the alien "bugs" that infest the ships and the dangers of space and the ships themselves. - Video doesn't make much sense but it gives an idea of the feel. Target aim: Foremost this is a labor of love and an opportunity for game design experience. A retail worthy outcome is the eventual goal but I want to be realistic. Compensation: If the project reached a money making stage then revenue would be shared. Technology: PC and Iphone are the initial targeted platforms. Programming language and technology will be the coder's decision provided it can handle the game features, which are not especially advanced technology wise. Talent needed: A single talented, capable coder is what I need. The game is not large in scope and won't require an advanced 3d engine or highly complex systems. Team structure: Myself, 3d artist and game design. I believe I can handle most if not all needed artwork for the project. I'd like to keep this a focused two man operation.

Feedback: ANY [Edited by - Syaped on May 22, 2010 6:48:28 PM]

Thanks for the compliments guys :D

Can I get a link to this template Krysis? Sounds like something I definitely should look at.

DogmaDZ, the plan is to go the 3d route for it's various advantages while keeping a 2d isometric look. Control is mouse point and click with lots of context sensitive commands and hotkeys to keep control as streamlined and quick as possible. The game is played in realtime however there are "planning" periods where the game is paused and actions can be stacked for more planned team maneuvers. I see the PC and Iphone/Ipad being the most suitable platforms.

That looks and sounds like a nice successor of the x-com games (and I love the sound in your teaser!, why is it so damn short? :P).

Looks very interesting, and indeed quite fun. Contextual commands sounds like something that should be utilised to the fullest, especially if the game will be playable on hand-held devices.

Is the music in the trailer from the actual gameplay?
