[Unity] SWARMED: Zombie-themed RPG / RTS looking for all kinds of survivors
- Single player, 3D graphics and adjustable top-down camera - old-school RPG / RTS feeling
- Take control of a core group of survivors after the outbreak
- Encounter Zombies that are a real threat, no machine-gun massacre. Don't get swarmed!
- Build a safe zone anywhere with a highly flexible build system: campsite, lighthouse, school, or fence a whole village
- Grant asylum to other survivors that you meet and make them a part of your community
- Achieve sustainability in your safe zone and go on supply runs with your survivors
Development
The core team of recently founded indie studio Three Eyed Games currently consists of one writer, two artists and two programmers, based in Germany. We are in our mid-20s with professional experience in developing interactive 3D applications with Unity.
SWARMED will feature both a 'free-play mode' and a campaign with mid-sized maps that leads the player through a story while explaining the gameplay and introducing him / her to the survivors: a core group a few 'hero' characters the player starts with (each one a detailed character with backstory, hopes and dreams), and more 'heroes' (total not more than 20, probably less) that the player can meet on the journey. In addition, randomly generated NPCs (less detailed and not directly controllable, similar to the way Dwarf Fortress handles its dwarves) can join your safe zone – if you let them.
We plan to release a few 'Origin' prototypes that showcase individual gameplay systems and meanwhile give a gentle introduction to the characters you will meet in the game. Origin I, showcasing the build system and many fundamental elements like character controls and interactions, is finished and will be released soon. Next up, we're working on the dialog system to be presented in Origin II.
Get in touch and we will provide more details and a playable version.
We want you!
We seriously think you should join the fun!
Level Designers / Environment Artists / 3D Artists / Tech Artists
Preferably with experience in Unity and procedural asset creation.
We need people who are interested in designing and building maps and environments with interesting visuals and proper pacing. Or maybe you just want to create and design some 3D assets or characters - you’re more than welcome!
Creativity and drive is desired and expected. We’re not looking for grunt workers :-)
2D Artists / UX Designers
Preferably with Unity UI experience. Our menus still look pretty dull, and we don't like that.
Or maybe you’re interested in drawing concept art for characters
and iconic game moments to define their look and feel.
But we aren’t only looking for artists! Maybe you're more interested in doing one of the following:
Writers, We have a bunch of characters to detail and a story to write ahead of us.
Game Designers, We have a rough game design sketched out that needs improvement and completion. We need a balanced combat system, trees for constructions, workshops and character skills etc.
PR & Community Managers, preferably with web development experience. We want to build a community around the game, and we need you to plan and manage this (with the help of the rest of the team, of course).
Coders, If you know your way around Unity and C#, there are lots of challenging things to be done. You will work closely together with the two programmers already on the team to get going quickly.
