| Forgeio | Hat Quest – An ORPG with interesting characters | Spriting, Map Design, Moderators | If you look at the project topic, you can see that I am not a very good spriter. I need someone who can build off of the sort of cartoonish “style” I have going on already. I also need some map designers, who can work in Game Maker Studio.

Lastly, I need some Moderators for the discord server, and the game once it is released. Moderators are required to be at least 16, and must be mature and willing to stay active in the community. Experience in moderating online games/forums/discord servers would be ideal. | Post |
