Looking for a long-term partner

Hello! My name is Marius, I'm 33, living in Sweden. A solo gamedev trying to turn it into a sustainable business.

Here are some prototypes, gamejams, demos I've worked on before: https://developinghermit.carrd.co/

I've been working on a physics-based PVP game called "Ignited" for close to 1 year now and recently put up a Steam page https://steamdb.info/app/4311700/.

The journey involved quite a few detours, because my art skills simply weren't up to my standards. So I spent a lot of time studying art and upping my game so to speak. I'm quite happy with how far I managed to get.

Having said that, my main skill is the technical side of building. I am a strong programmer with a lot of experience in networking. I'm pretty much only interested in building online multiplayer games and plan to stick to that.

As the title says, I'm looking for one person to team up with. One person only. Someone who wants to build a business in gamedev. Who wants to learn and grow continuously. And is willing to try as many things as it takes to make it work.

We would need to have complimentary skillsets, so here's the main areas I need help with:

1) Game art

2) Game design

3) Marketing

I'm looking for an equal partner that I can truly depend on. I have no interest in being a manager, I got enough stuff to do. I want to be able to trust my partner to solve problems, come up with strategies, do research. Be a generalist when required. Do what needs to be done to ship the game.

It goes without saying that this goes both ways. That's what I'm offering to you. Someone you can rely on to keep things moving and have your back.

If you have the skills and the mindset, then I look forward to hearing from you.

For my current game "Ignited" the next milestone is a public demo. Which I aim to have in a couple months. It's already fully playable and I'm planning to do a lot of playtests next month for polishing, bug fixes and to craft a game trailer.

Interested!

Hi Marius,

Your post resonated with me a lot! I am a game&level designer who has been around game dev for 3 years now and started some months ago with pixel art.

I would love to discuss this long-term collaboration, even if my art style does not fit your current project Ignite.

I am from Spain and living in Germany :)

Feel free to reach out in discord _scr_ if you are interested!

Hello Marius, 


I've been operating my own studio for a little bit now and would love to talk to you. 

Here's my discord  darklordc619
