I put a lot of love into the DISTANT environment. Am I overdoing it? 🫣😄
I know, I know. But I want the game to look good no matter how high Ripples climbs, which makes a BIG difference for level design choices, right?🙃

I'm a motion designer/animator and I've been tinkering with a small 2.5D Metroidvania in Unreal. The clip is a first prototype – I've made the assets and animations and put this little section together in Unreal myself.
I'm looking for another hobbyist who's comfortable with Unreal and Blueprints and would like to develop the game together. Someone who enjoys level/world building would be especially great. PaperZD experience is a big plus, but not necessary.
I have a rough story and quite a few ideas for the mechanics, but I don't want someone to just implement them. I'd like to figure the game out together.
No deadline or big ambitions regarding scope – I'm a dad with a job and want to keep this small and actually finish it.
If this looks like something you'd enjoy working on, send me a message :)
This is my game's prototype: CORVINUS!
A retro-inspired mix of platforming and topdown movement!
