Hollow Robot Recruiting Artists job

Summary

• Johnny Reboot
• PC, Mac, Xbox One
• 2.5D Sci-Fi Side-Scroller
• Unity 5

The Game

Johnny Reboot takes place in the fictional digital world of Xeno. Populated exclusively by a race of beings known as Xenobytes, this world is a technological marvel, advanced beyond its years. The city was created eons ago by the Ancestral Xenosians, and has been a safe harbor against the many maleficent viruses that also populate the digital world. The game will feature never before seen mechanics, and a story that is very personal to its creator, and the character will be based on his experiences and hardships that he has gone through in life. The mechanics and story both take inspiration from a mental condition known as Agoraphobia. Not only will you be apart of the inception of a fun and engaging game, but you will also be helping us spread awareness and inspiration to people who live with or without this disorder.
