Far Far Away – Revised
I’ve been developing this game in my spare time off and on for around 3 years now.
Currently it is a 2D Platformer with the intention of going 3D (3 Dimensional).
The current 2D Platformer is a basic demo of what can be done with persistence, no graphics design skills and 3 years of time (off and on). I’m just a programmer, I’m certainly no artist but I make do where I have to.
I want to bring this game to another dimension, literally. I want to implement 8 directional sprites this is going to take an artist to design them and I’m horrible at graphics design to be very honest.
In this very low tech demo screenshot the Minotaur is chasing the player, if you were to look at the enemy chasing the player from another direction, it would not appear to be 3D, this is where the 8 directional sprite system will enhance the feel of the game and make the enemies appear to be 3D.
To better describe this, image numbered one below is the current 2D representation of the enemy. If you change direction there is no defined graphic for this direction. I want to hire an artist to create the game assets to assist in the implementation of the 8 directional sprite system.

If you can use your imagination with the assistance of a graphics designer and some time I can implement a fun game with magic VFX from a first person perspective.
It has alot of potential but I can’t do it alone. Please donate!

I don’t see there being many risks because I’m guiding this project myself, I have the rest of my life to get it done, it will be done.
