Greetings, EmptyVoid_ here?
(December 2023 Update) We are using GoDot for this Project. We will no longer be using Unity.
(September Update) We will be transitioning to Unity.
I'd like to start this topic with a basic run-down on what it is that I'm currently in search of from you amazingly talented individuals. I'm the Lead Developer of a project named: EndVoid_ It's a weird RPG-like game that is highly inspired by nostalgic video games such as: Earthbound, OFF, Undertale, Jimmy And The Pulsating Mass, LISA, Yumme Niki. The project has been in development for several months, it all started back in Mid-2019. I'm currently working on this project with an incredible team that shaped themselves out to be more than capable of bringing interesting unique ideas / visuals / music / resources to this incredible project! I may sound extremely passionate about this project, maybe too passionate. However, I truly believe in making an incredible unique experience for those who enjoy games like Earthbound / RPGs in general.
I would describe this project as a SCI-FI, Weird, Unusual, Dark, Funny, Thriller... Psychological Thriller. That's quite the description for it. At the core of everything, this project has unique personality. I assure you that the story is very well thought out, it's very well developed. I can confirm this based on the overall feedback I have been overwhelmed with. Highly positive feedback continuously being given back to our team. We truly believe in our project, we have plans to take this project above the limitations I had once set myself during early development alone. I want this project to remain the best it possibly can be. I'm willing to work endless amounts of hours through the time I do have to get things to a near perfect standard.

The Year is currently ???? - Father comes to the rescue for his son. Having to lift a seriously heavy object that had toppled over onto his boy. The Little Boy is the main character in this story. Finally arriving home with his son intact, there's a moment where his son starts to awaken from his coma. The Little Boy does not recall any memory on what life was once like. He doesn't remember much at all, similar to the Player's reaction to the game itself. Mother and Father are nowhere to be seen. The Little Boy approaches the family diner table, he's ready to speak to his parents. However, all is not what it seems... Mother refuses to look towards the Player. Father is nowhere in sight. The Little Boy is unaware of the strangeness going on around in the house. Everything just seems normal to him. The Player will start to notice that the house itself is more like a bunker. Everything has been securely barricaded to stay safe from the outside world. What are they afraid of? Who are they hiding from? I'd like to tell you more about this story, I really would. However, I can't tell you anything right now. I'll only be sharing the rest of the story with those who are interested in this project and want to discuss getting involved. Thank you for reading!
Welcome to the Nightmare Realm. Everything is more aggressive, more serious, more hateful than those that The Little Boy comes to know on the surface. What is reality? That is the question that will remain within the Player's mind throughout this experience. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak of something that exists in the game. I don't even know how to explain it. I'm in fear of the AI finding out.
