Francis of the Rose Clan: Umbyssity's Eclipse

Francis began as a Zelda fan game when I was in middle school. I had a lot of the game programmed back then, but mediocrely since I was 12. Seventeen years later, I'm returning to the world I created and doing it right and professionally, with an original cast of characters so this thing can be professionally published! While I'm programming, I've currently got incredible people working on concept art, major pixel art, and music.

This is an adventure platformer game! Right now, I'm in the process of programming the gameplay before moving on to major levels, and it's coming along really well! I've got most major gameplay done as well as a handful of enemies, with some bugs here and there that will be hammered out. I'm nearly at the point where I'll feel comfortable with moving on to the first major village! As such, I now need pixel artists for NPCs and for backgrounds. My plan is to get the first chapter of the game done before pitching it to BigMode. I'm excited to have such an unpolished project from my past be reinvigorated.

Professionally, I have my own video post production company, so I take freelancing really seriously. As such, I 100% intend on paying people for their work, I just don't have much in the way of extra money at present! I can offer some $$ up front and can pay more as I have it and I am super super flexible when it comes to how people would want to be paid. This is an ongoing thing with no real schedule, so I'm also fine with waiting for artists to work if they're not comfortable with not being paid beforehand.

This should be a lot of fun!
