INFORMATION:
Barricade is a 2D arcade puzzle game that pulls inspiration from classic 16bit titles from the 90's. Such as Puzzle Fighters. Puyo Pop and Tetris Attack! Yet despite this, it still manages to stand alone as its own and still add more to the genre. The game features an addictive gameplay of destroying multiple colored blocks with matching colored bullets. Theres an advanced scoring system that rewards the player's efforts to increase his/her skills by taking risks without any hand holding. Killer 16bit hand pixeled graphics. And a bumping soundtrack thats already getting requests for an OST album!
There's a single player arcade/story mode with 2 player drop in. A "complete" fast-paced 2 player VS mode! Which has already been in use for a few local esport events here in my hometown! And a single player survival mode called "marathon". Which starts the player off with just 2 colors but gradually becomes increasingly harder!
The game will be released on Windows, Linux and MacOSX. It was developed using our own in-house engine, "Phuel". And will support USB gamepads with rumble for up to 2 players! This game will be sold. So the team has agreed to work with a profit-split model.
STATUS:
As it stands right now. Barricade is nearing Beta status. Unfortunately, we have lost our assistant programmer who helped out with developing and maintaining the code for input devices. And our in-house engine. His other role was to create builds for the OSX platform. But he had to cut his time short with the team before he could push out any newer builds with fixes addressing a few major bugs.
WHO WE NEED:
We are currently seeking either 1 or 2 programmers who are experienced with using c++, SDL, OpenGL and OpenAL. Applicants must be able to build and maintain ports for the OSX operating system. And be willing to invest at least 7hrs a week to contribute work and any needed assistance to the main coder. Applicants must also be very communicative and able to follow instructions given by the lead coder or the project lead. All the while being open minded and able to give constructive feedback.
CONTACT:
All information on the team can be found on our website's about page. And updates on Barricade can be found in our social media links atthe top of the page!
All applicants can contact me via email at phyerboss at gmail or on Hangouts. And on Twitter or Facebook.
