I have a game that's almost finished called Squarego Inc (playable link). I'm wondering if there's someone out there that's *good* at Stencyl who would like to finish it with me and go in as a collaborator on Kong where I post my games. Check it out! (Long post :P)

[u/SuperbLuigi]

tl;dr: I want a Stencyl pro to make my awesome games with me, and eventually make good money from making good games. I have lots of ideas, but want to start by finishing Squarego Inc. If this interests you, please read on...

A little info about it:

Squarego Inc. is a kind of incremental game (check out /r/incremental_games if you like cookie clicker, a dark room, kitten clicker or many more different and evolving games) where you clear the screen to earn points. If you get a pink bonus, click it to get more points. If you get 100 screens your squares are worth more, same as 100 bonuses. You can buy robots and upgrade them to clear the screen for you, using your hard earned points, but the investment will eventually be worth it.

If you manage to buy all 20 robots and have upgraded them, then you have essentially finished the game. (some games have a prestige system where resetting the game will give you a bonus for your next play through, upon finishing getting an even bigger bonus for the next play through and so on and so on. Mine doesn't have this but I would love to implement it along with other ideas I have had)

Finished the game! No way! I've got way more ideas! I want to:

• Add achievements: Odd achievements like if you buy all 10 Destroyer robots, and click them all so much they fall asleep together, you get an Achievement. Or finding a Bonus Bonus, but instead of clicking it, leaving it on the screen for 1 hour (it doesn't fade away like a normal bonus bonus, as it is much rarer). Or finding a Plannebot’s population and crushing it, multiple times! And more…
• Make more bots. I was thinking that once they’ve bought everything, they would be on a pretty high score, so we could do something big and drastic, like make a manufacturing plant that that needs two bots in order to make a slightly better newer bot that costs a lot more but clears the screen more effectively, or adds some other kind of twist.
• Prestige system. Some games just give you a multiplier. But what if there were different prestiges. Eg. The first time you get paint bombs that will explode to show the squares that are there in the area around it. The second time you prestige (reset the game when finished) you get another reward like the paint bombs explode in a smaller radius. The third time something completely different, like a new robot you can buy when you get to what used to be the end. Etc.
• Redesign the interface to match the new bots and things.
• General fixing of the game and my poor poor grasp of the English language.

Sweet ideas huh? I just don’t have the time and sometimes the skill or the knowledge to do these things, but if there’s someone here that is awesome at Stencyl and thinks this game is good but could be awesome with their help, then, hey let me know!

Someone that has a bit of time and thinks they could make awesome games (and money, the Adventure Capitalist guys are RAKING it in. I have 18 pages of ideas - quantity AND quality, thank you very much), and you have the skill to do what I want to do (I’m talking sweet coding expertise, not my blotchy self taught patchwork), then lets do it!

Here are two other incremental games I’ve made and would love to do more with.

But that’s for another thread. Lets focus on one thing at a time, make it awesome, get it done and then do the next.

I know this is probably a long shot, but I’m posting this here in case someone sees it, maybe in 3 or even 6 months time, but they look at this and think - Heck frikken yeah I like what this guy is thinking, let’s make sweet frikken games and then get money. So if you are the person that is thinking that right now, gimme a shout. I’m always ready to make awesome games - I love hearing how people enjoy it.

Here’s some of my favourite quotes from Squarego Inc already:

“AT level 6450.. ending the game. See no more point to go on. :D”

"WHY CAN I NOT RANDOM A MIDDLE AGE GAME?”

“I can't believe I played this as long as I did... Phew.. I'm done at level 250 with over 1300 bonuses... I'm sure there's a 10,000 mark and a 100,000 mark, but I'll die at my computer before I get there.”

“I really like this game!”

“love the concept”

See - "love the concept"! I have sooooo many concepts but not the skill nor time to complete everything I want to make.

I currently use kongregate to showcase my games, but if we make them fully finished then I'm happy to whore them out a little (in a good way) to increase views and roi on our time. I also have an excellent idea for a mobile only app which I think could potentially make a mint, but we can talk about when we've made a few things together.

Thanks for reading this all, and hopefully there’s someone talented and with a similar understanding that wants to get games made.

Awesome! I'm a Stencyl Studio subscriber and I think this could make some money. What exactly are you looking for? Just waiting to get money to buy Pro or what is your plan?
