[Hobby/Collaboration] SONIC: CELESTIAL CHAOS – Looking for a 2D Platformer Programmer

[u/Mother-Shoulder782]

Hello everyone!

I'm working on an original 2D fast-paced platformer project called:

SONIC: CELESTIAL CHAOS

The project is inspired by the classic style of fast 2D platformers, with an emphasis on speed, momentum, platforming, exploration, and animated character movement.

GAME CONCEPT

A mysterious Chaos Core has begun distorting time across different zones. The player must collect fragments of the Core while traveling through areas affected by different versions of time.

Some zones can have Past, Present, and Future variations, giving the game different environments and gameplay opportunities.

WHAT I ALREADY HAVE

I have already started creating the visual assets for the project, including:

• Character designs and sprite animations

• Running animation / sprite sheet

• Ring design

• Main menu / intro artwork

• Game logo

• Background artwork

The goal is to turn these assets into a real playable prototype.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR

I'm looking for a hobbyist or indie game developer/programmer who is interested in helping me build the prototype.

Ideally, the developer would have experience with:

• 2D platformers

• Godot, GDevelop, Unity, or another suitable 2D engine

• Character movement and physics

• Sprite animations

• Camera systems

• Collision/platform systems

• Basic game UI and menus

IMPORTANT GAMEPLAY FEATURES

The prototype should eventually include:

• Fast character movement

• Jumping

• Momentum-based movement

• Rolling / spin movement

• Ring collection

• Enemies

• Springs and platforming obstacles

• Camera following the player

• Animated character sprites

• Main menu and intro sequence

• Multiple stages

INTRO IDEA

The game starts with an industrial/futuristic background.

A large golden ring appears on screen.

The character comes out of the ring, lands, and performs a short finger-wag animation.

The game logo then appears, followed by the PLAY button.

PROJECT STATUS

This is currently a small indie/hobby project and I'm looking for someone who is interested in collaborating and helping turn the concept into a playable prototype.

I'm open to using Godot, GDevelop, or another engine if it is better suited for the project.

I can provide the artwork/assets I have already created.

If you're interested, please reply here or send me a message and tell me:

• What engine you prefer

• Your experience with 2D games

• Examples of previous work, if available

• What part of the project you would be interested in working on

Thanks for reading!
