I am a Xenobiologist/Writer with a fully realized "World Bible" (The Aetheria Atlas) consisting of 150+ species, 5 distinct biomes, and a complete narrative arc.

The Concept: Subnautica meets Outer Wilds. 1.8 bar atmospheric pressure, 0.8g gravity. Exploration is focused on "Altitude" and "Acoustic Stealth" rather than combat.

What I have ready:

• Full GDD: Mechanics for buoyancy, frequency tracking, and lunar-based world states.
• Narrative: Complete script for the first 5 "Data-Spike" logs from Dr. Thorne.
• Ecology: 150 species with diet, behavior, and physical stats ready for implementation.

What I’m looking for: A Technical Partner (Unity or UE5) interested in building a Vertical Slice. I’m broke, so this is a passion project/hobbyist start with a move toward Rev-Share if we hit milestones. I am not just an "idea guy"—I will handle all documentation, quest writing, and manual level-placing in-engine.

the problem with this is you pretty much just want a grunt worker for free to make what you want made / this is a pretty big scope project and the programmer would pretty much just be making what you want made instead of what they want made . maybe you should learn programming to make this dream game or turn it into a trpg or use a codeless engine and scale it back a ton so it is feasible for you to make , you want to turn it into revshare if someone can come in make this a feasible project but you should just start making things instead of having the mindset you will make money off your first project
