[RevShare] Seeking Collaborators for Story-Driven Sci-Fi RPG: Echoes of the Zenith – The Betrayer’s Gambit

[TobiOneKanobi]

Hi, everyone!

I’m Tobias, a passionate storyteller in the early stages of developing Echoes of the Zenith – The Betrayer’s Gambit, a sci-fi RPG inspired by the rich narratives and character-driven gameplay of classics like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and KOTOR. This project aims to bring players into a vast galaxy on the edge of civil war, where choices shape alliances, characters hold secrets, and leadership is tested.

I’m new to game development and currently working on a novel within the same universe, which is almost complete with the help of a shadow writer. I believe the story’s depth could translate beautifully into an RPG. I’ve laid the conceptual groundwork, including a detailed Game Design Document (GDD), and have even reached out to Drew Karpyshyn, who expressed potential interest in the project if funding becomes available.

What I Need Help With
To move forward, I’m aiming to create a polished, playable demo focusing on the game’s prologue. This demo will set the tone, showcase the core mechanics, and serve as a foundation for future crowdfunding efforts.

Looking for the Following Roles:

Unity or Unreal Engine Developers: Skilled in RPG mechanics, choice-based dialogue, and tactical combat systems.
3D Artists & Modelers: To design characters, environments, and assets in line with the sci-fi/fantasy aesthetic.
Writers & Narrative Designers: Experienced in crafting interactive dialogue and choices that align with character arcs.
Sound Designers & Composers: To create an atmospheric score combining influences from bands like The Hu and Death South, capturing the game’s gritty, mysterious tone.
Project Vision & Potential
While I currently don’t have funds to offer, my goal is to complete this demo as a team and use it to secure funding through crowdfunding or external support. This could evolve into a revenue-sharing opportunity as we bring Echoes of the Zenith to life. I’m committed to the project and open to collaboration with others who share an interest in storytelling and RPGs.

If you’re interested in working on a story-rich, character-driven RPG from the ground up, I’d love to connect! Please feel free to reach out here or by DM, and let’s talk about how we can make Echoes of the Zenith a reality.

Thank you! Tobias

Find a different way to get your idea into production. This method have been tried soooo many times by others before and it dont work. No-one wants to work on others dreams even if they might initially think so and get on board. This will usually only last a few weeks until people drift off, never to be heard from again.

Your best bet, is to gather the skills needed that you dont already have yourself and then buckle down and make it yourself.
