The type of game is just an old-school hop and bop platformer, similar to, say, Mario, or Donkey Kong Country ( Returns ).The game stars a young, tribal kitten of a girl named Maowi. Maowi however, is, well... kinda a wuss. How much so? She's scared of her own shadow. Not so bad? Well, see, when she's scared, she panics. And when she panics...lots of things end up broken. Exiled from her tribe, she wanders the jungle, starving... but soon gets wind of a legend of an inexhaustible food supply by a wandering forest sage. Extremely hungry and despondent, she figures it'd be nice to live there, and, sets off to find it...completely unaware of the many dangers standing between her and her food.However...a greedy and gluttonous treasure hunter also hears about it, by chance- and he's planning on staking his claim there as well, and leaving none to share! Hence, it's up to Maowi to run, jump, swing, cling, and in some cases, scream to find her edible treasure nest before that mean ol' hunter gets his greedy mitts on it!The style is cartoonish and vibrant, similar to, for example, Donkey Kong, Klonoa, NiGHTS, and what we need at the moment is a programmer capable of creating a platforming game which will have a varying amount of character- and level-centric features; however as it is primarily a hop and bop platformer with emphasis in challenging level design, there hopefully shouldn't be anything exceedingly difficult in terms of what is required. At the moment, it is Me: Creative Design/Level LayoutDylan: Generalist 3D ModelerCoco: Character Concept ArtistMay: Environmental Concept Artist/Illustrator.The main character: User Posted ImageThe bad guy: User Posted ImageAnd some of the bosses:User Posted ImageSome concept art as well: User Posted ImageThe game is also planned for a Kickstarter/Indiegogo attempt, and undoubtedly a fair portion of that funding would go toward retaining services, although regardless, upon completion of the game, you will be compensated to the best of our ability via a percentage revenue split. (Ideally, we'd also be making future games together, so hopefully things can eventually move to a straight-up salaried-style of payment.)Contact can be reached at bluecometgames@hotmail.com, Skype via prominenceflare or via PM over this site.Thank you for your time.

A bit of a progress update- we've gotten some basic modeling done, and are primarily working on engine functionality, but we could use another animator to help us out.

Bumping due to progress update.
