Project name:
TippleTop
Brief description:
TippleTop is a family friendly, transparent game development project with the goal building a fun community for Fun spike Games, seeing a good portion of the proceeds going towards the childrens charity, the DreamHappy Foundation and generally having fun.
TippleTop puts the player controls a spheroid character in both the 3rd and 1st person perspective. In the center of each 3D stage is an area called the Stack Pad. Various 3D shapes fall from the sky and the player gathers these shapes using their energy powers. The player may manipulate the objects and stack them on the stack pad. The player gains points as the stack gains altitude. The player also has the ability to fly which allows them to grow their stack to very high altitudes.
Challenges occur as the player attempts to balance their stack while defending their stack from monsters called Tippers. The player may defend their stack using their ability to manipulate energy to push away the enemies. After enough pushing the monsters give up, run away or fall over.
A great deal of media has been added to the bottom of this post to not spam mid-post.
Where the project is at:
As of Dec. 21st we have our enemy AI working very well, it's pretty awesome watching the Tippers (enemies) come to tip over the stacks, steal blocks and etc. Development is going great but we need more talented artists and programmers.
Target aim:
We would like for this title to be pay to download. We are also speaking to people about retail.
Compensation:
As stated in the title, this is an unpaid project. No one is being paid during the development of this project. Each team member will need to be able to donate eight or more hours a week to the project to ensure we completion. Full professional credit and references will be given to those who show commitment to the project, as in you can not simply create three pieces of concept art and have a professional credit.
Technology:
Target Systems: PC and we are working on others...
Engine: c++ based, very easy to dive into and go.
Talent needed:
We are seeking to fill the following positions. Some may be able to fill two of these positions:
Jr. c++ Programmer
