Hazelhand (Retirement is for Avoiding Responsibilities!)
Project Overview
Welcome to the Project of Hazelhand!
This is a long-term, Pixel art, farming game with some romance subplots, surprise children, and avoiding fighting and responsibility until you die! I've been planning this project for a while and have been hoping to get some other people on it for about the same amount of time.
We are looking for basically every position in the book so if you have a talent and want to share then this is the place! while this posting is not paid, once the game is launched, all profits will be split in accordance with your position. I'm not doing this for the money, and while I don't care why you are doing this either, (money, portfolio, work experience) don't expect to make this like your full-time job.
Story Description
You are retired, like not fully retired, but enough that people stop asking you to fix their problems. You have saved the world, killed dragons, had so many girlfriends, but all those things must come to an end. So you decide to kick back, relax for the first time in what seems like forever, take that final L, and set off to one of those towns that you saved and probably own a house or farm at. You don’t exactly remember anything about this place, I mean come on it’s been years at this point and your memory is better served on your many many girlfriends and many many riches. So you can be forgiven for not remembering, who is who and what is what, in a town you saved in your teens. I mean what could go wrong.
Q&A
"What is my experience gonna be like when working with you?"
While I will be the main writer and designer, I am looking for people to bring in new ideas to make sure that this game doesn't get stale and stagnant. I am lenient and since this is not a paid position I don't expect this project to be your main focus but I would like for everyone to take it seriously and if there is a deadline make it. This s going to be a team effort and I hope that we all can work like one. Feedback and criticism will always be appreciated.
"What happens when I land the gig?"
I will add you to the discord where most of the efforts will be coordinated. You will then be expected to work with the others and help us with the project! If you are a voice actor you might be in the wings for a little while but if I want you to play a character I want you to be involved in the process of flashing them out so you can really "Get Them".
"Is this long-term?"
Yes, This project while in the works for a while isn't even close to being done. I am not well worked in programing or in art so there is still much more to be accomplished!
"Do I receive payment?"
As I said at the top, while I do not have the money to pay you now, all proceeds will be used to pay you for your time.
"Is this Inclusive?"
Yes, I can and will refuse to work with anyone who is in any way discriminatory to anyone else on the team or in real life. This game has been made to be as queer as possible and if anyone has a problem about it the will be subsequently kicked from the team.

A nonbinary Orc who lusts for conquest when they and the player character parted ways before the start of the game. They then went on to become one of the most decorated gladiators in the world! After they had nothing more to do they went back to their family career, Seismic Science. They only moved into the Players' town for the cool ravine and earthquakes nearby, no other reason.
"My wisdom will not be overrun by my fury. Lessons learned the hard way are carved in one's mind."
"If I hear one more rock joke I will bring this ravine down on our heads."
"Whatever you think they would say from your understanding of them."
A battlesmith inventor gnome. He has been a fighter for most if not all of his life going from army to army, war to war, gaining new and old companions and losing them just as quickly. when the party parted ways he seemed to return back to his old lifestyle but something seemed to be different this time. So he took up the player's offer to settle down in town, what's a few years of downtime to the hundreds ahead of him.
"Live and let Live my friend! Good to see a face as pitiful as yours!"
" Our hard work is for the next generation, we fight so that they may learn, so that the next may love. Do not diminish yourself for the good you do for just the reason. "
"Whatever you think would fit the character from your understanding."
A young early teen of an aarakocra, with slippery fingers and even slipper wings, this rouge on the run uses her wonderful voice and even better mind to steal and gain this world's riches. But she's bored, and one of the only adults in her life seems to be actually settling down, with like a house and everything? And while she is the most badass thief in the land, it might be good if he lets some of the cool from her heist come down for a few years, and what better place to hide than nowhere town. It's a total coincidence that the player is there, and has a house, money, and gooey feelings.
"Just give me my money and I'll be out of here, this towns not got nothin' good in it anyways."
"For some reason, I decided to stick with you, you should feel blessed."
"Whatever you think she would say from what you get of her character"
A human shapeshifter of a barbarian. Loud, and energetic was the star of the show at every event she was invited to (and some she wasn't). when the party parted ways she went on to be the crown entertainer at the place, making the most powerful people in the land at her beck and call. It was lonely however in those halls of gold, and when she got what seems to be a letter from an old friend giving her their address, well, shes' had her fame, might as well see what been going on in the others lives.
"Magic this, magic that, what's so wrong about just breaking the door"
"Cats, I get Cats, they don't make my skin turn red and the air hard to breathe. People on the other hand I'm allergic to."
"Whatever you think she would say based on what you see of her."
While i have several characters already planned out, background characters and others to flesh out the game are always welcome!
"Well, well, well, didn't think you would ever show your face in this town again."
"The stars are not in line for this bullcrap."
"Did your parent drop you as a kid or did the stupidity come preprogrammed."
