PROJECT SOV: A Game Inspired by Classic 2D Zelda Games

STATUS :

CODER: ðŸ”´ CLOSED

ARTIST: ðŸŸ¢ OPEN


(Not paid currently)

Developed by: Team Aftozoi

Project Description
: Project SOV is a Zelda-inspired game with elements from these Games/Series: Shin Megami Tensei, Nadia: The Secrets of Blue Water, Undertale/Deltarune, Earthbound, Mother 3, Adventure Time, Chrono Trigger, and Zelda, respectively.

Why we need help:
We're confident in our idea, but we are currently in need of help. My team consists of 3 people (1 coder, 1 artist, and me, who is doing Pixel Art, Music, Story, Dialogue, and pretty much everything else in the game). All of us have been working very hard since August 2025 to make this game come to fruition. The current date of release is in the 3rd Quarter of 2026, though the date is expected to be adjusted.

What we currently need:
1 . A specialized pixel artist to do tile sheet work (possibly building the maps in the engine, though not required), editing character sprites, and doing building sprites.

2 . A coder with an intermediate level of coding who knows the basics of GMS2.

The YouTube video I attached includes:
Boss Theme, Shop Theme, Temple Theme, and Town Theme. (Keep in mind, these tracks are not the finished product.)

The Image attached to the video is concept art made for Project SOV.

Hi Max,

I tried to add to discord but it is blocked. You can add me, if you are interested in my profile as pixel artist :)

Yo Yo Project SOV sounds really interesting andd cool! I saw that you're currently handling the music yourself, but I wanted to offer help in case you'd ever like support on the audio side, sound design/composing I could support on all parts just lmk.


Me myself I'm a music producer and composer and I’d love to help create music or sound design for the game if you ever need it. I enjoy working on atmospheric and RPG-style tracks and would be happy to collaborate or contribute.

Hey! Project SOV sounds really cool I’m a big fan of a lot of the inspirations you listed, especially Chrono Trigger, the Mother series, Toby Foxs games, and Nadia. Stuff with that mix of emotional storytelling and quirky charm really resonates with me.

I have prior experience, doing art, coding, balancing, design and directing for Project PS. I’m a decent pixel artist and would potentially be interested in helping out with tilesets, environment sprites, or general pixel work if you’re still looking for artists.

I’m also a composer, and my style leans pretty heavily toward an Uematsu/Mitsuda-type approach melodic, emotional pieces and atmospheric music with strong use of motifs, a mix of orchestral and synth textures, and music that tries to support the story and atmosphere of the world.

I haven’t worked on this specific project obviously, but I’d be happy to contribute music ideas or help with the soundtrack as well if that’s something you’d want extra help with.

Here’s my public composer/arranger page: On Flat.io

Let me know if you think I might be a good fit  I’d love to hear more about the project!

I know the programmer position is already filled, but if you're ever looking for another one I'd love to join! I have a few years of experience in GMS2 from my time working on my recently published game Clippy Commando. My Discord is beanmeister12 if you want to connect. Good luck on your project!
