WHO WE ARE

We are Clocktower Games and we are a recently established team of programmers, artists, designers and composers with significant past experience in game development. This is our first project as a team.

WHAT WE NEED

We require coders fluent in Java (minimum several years experience) to assist our lead coder (12 years experience). Experience developing games with the Slick2D game engine will also be highly regarded but not necessary. As a team member you will be collaborating with our lead on programming tasks as well as providing your own creative input into the design of the game under the hood.

We are using the Tiled map editor to construct our levels.

ABOUT OUR GAME

Our game is a classic singleplayer 2D jump-and-run platformer similar to such games as Mario, Sonic, Megaman and Commander Keen. High production values is one of our key features and we are aiming for a fun, light-hearted feel for audiences young and old. We are ultimately aiming to distil the main strengths of the best platformers of the past into our game.

During the game the player character will fight and manoeuvre his way through a range of colourful environments from tropical beaches to jungles and mountain landscapes using an arsenal of weapons and power ups over the course of a fully detailed campaign of 25+ levels. Along the way he will meet a range of characters to help him on his journey and help tell a tale of action and adventure.

OUR AIM WITH THIS PROJECT

While we make the disclaimer that this is a hobbyist project initially, we fully intend for a commercial release onto a range of platforms (including Steam, OSX and Linux among others). In the event that we experience success with this game, those who contribute will certainly be compensated (determined by the amount of work each person has contributed).

CONTACT US

We are fully dedicated to this project and are determined to see it through to completion.

If you’re interested in joining us, please add me on Skype or send us an email and we can get down to business.

Can I get a screenshot or other media regarding the game? Id like to see what you describe.
I’m interested, ill email you. I dont have a skype.

#3

Can you tell us a bit more about your team? I googled Clocktower games, and could not find anything.

#4

I am trying to join their team, and they seem like a good group of people who are dedicated to what they do.

#5

I emailed them, what makes you say they are a good group of people?
I cant find any info either.

#6

Just FYI: the “Clock Tower” games were a well known Japanese horror game series and “Clocktower Games” is a New Zealand indy game developer (now called Aero). Your chosen name won’t Google well and potentially might have legal issues.

#7

I skyped them and they sound very mature and dedicated to their game. And they have a relatively large team!

#8

I’m interested but I’m low on age to work according to the rules in our country (Had to wait for 2 months).

#9

You don’t need to tell the government anything when working privately and under the table.

#10

But that’s not fair. I can’t get a bank account even to get paid.

#11

How young are you? Couldnt you just have your parents set up a paypal or something?

#12

I’m 17 now and I’ll be getting 18 in two months.

#13

Im 16, I dont see a reason why I couldnt set up a paypal. Lots of people my age have one.

#14

You can set up a paypal, but it’ll be useless without a bank account.

#15

You couldn’t get one in India. The indian version of the site requires me to give me my Aadhar number which proves my age. Enough of diversion, can we get back to the topic of the thread?

#16

lol paypal

#17

What im feeling here is that opiop65 is actually the same as Clocktower Games.
For a jump-an run fame, you wont need a team, its easy for one person to make something like mario.

#18

Is there a website / whatever to see what you have done so far?
I don’t think that’s a way to attract good prorgammers.

#19

Sorry, what? I just wanted to work on a group project for once. I know I wouldn’t need a team, but its nice once in a while to code with others. This was my perfect opportunity.

#20

What the hell are you smoking ?
Ever thought about the fact people want to create something with quality ?

It’s safe to say you need to be 18 here guys.
