Dear reader,
my name is Bastian and while enjoying to be in the digital games business at a AAA company and spending a lot of time into exploring the technical background behind game engine development, I'm also a board game enthusiast since I could hold a pen to bring my ideas onto paper. Starting late 2018, I began to work on an a new personal game idea which is inspired from a lot of games I'd love to play, Hand of Fate (the digital game, not Ordeals), Pokemon, Magic the Gathering and Diablo, to name some. It took a while to find the proper art style to have the game fit into the mystical spheres of Tarot family card games.
Like Hand of Fate, one of the game's aspects is that it could be played in an adventure RPG like style, telling a story of an evil to be defeated by a group of up to 4 players. Because I'm not that good at writing, I'm looking for creative people like
Narrative Writer/ Game Designer (m/w/d)
to help bringing the game to light. You're looking to bring your ideas into a game project, writing game stories or love to design environments, provide historical and narrative research in an not yet completed fantasy-steampunk multiverse or just like to design characters, items and other cards that fit into the game's rules, then you're at the right place and I'd like to see your comments via PM or Discord.
The game will be entirely assembled from different encounter cards and a few short story points which lead the playing group into the adventure. While moving through the overworld, players will have each to manage a party of up to 3 characters while solving encounters like
This means that your story must be solid enough to be told in a bunch of cards but also exciting to be played over and over again.
