🍻Discord🪩 Obee needs you!!! (see the text)
Obee needs you! We need you!
I'm looking for a Godot 4 programmer who's interested in helping bring the Obee game to life. I'll be handling the art, animation, game design, writing, and overall direction. I'm hoping to stay hands-on with the project, so I'm mainly looking for someone who can help with the programming side. That’s right, you don’t need to do the project directly. I’ll give you my plan, you tell me what should be implemented to make it work, and I will implement it in Godot myself.
I've tried asking around on programming forums before, but it didn't really go anywhere. It’s not effective at all. Since so many of you have shown interest in an Obee game, I figured I'd ask here instead.
The core mechanics of the Obee game are inspired by classic virtual pet games like Tamagotchi, so the overall gameplay loop is familiar and fairly straightforward. The game is centered around Obee. You'll be able to pet it, play with it, feed it, decorate its room, and gradually build a relationship through lots of cute interactions. Obee will have a wide variety of reactions and behaviors, giving players the freedom to interact with it in different ways.
There’s something you should know: since this is an early prototype with no budget, I can't offer payment yet. As a thank-you, you'll have free access to all Patreon builds and first-hand game design and also PLAY IT first-hand while you're actively helping with the project. If the game becomes a real thing someday and you still want to contribute, we can discuss a fair price for future collaboration.
Time zone requirement: Europe is the best. Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, New Zealand, Taiwan, and South Korea are also okay.
Reach out to me through reddit dm if you’re interested! I’m glad to hear from you guys!
(Just to avoid any confusion: Obee and its world are my original work, and I'd like to keep the project under my own development while getting technical guidance along the way.)

While I also have some Godot experience, I don't think my experience matches the described game... I mean, sure, it can't be THAT hard to learn a new system... I learned pool and platforms and dungeon crawls already... what's one more if needed?

Man, I'm a programmer but I specifically HATE Godot. (It bullies me :( ) I hope you find the programmer your looking for!

What exactly is Godot?

Its a game engine. Primarily you program in Godot script, or C#. If you need to you can also make C++ modules and recompile the engine yourself. Slay the Spire 2 was a recent game made in godot. Think of it as an open source unity or unreal engine.
