Intuitive Healing Journey Game -- 2
Budget: $5,000 – $10,000 USD
I have been shaping a game idea that doesn’t quite fit into puzzle, adventure, or strategy; instead it feels like its own gentle genre—a journey of healing where players complete successive levels that gradually restore a vibrant world and, I hope, leave them feeling restored as well.
What I need now is a game developer who can translate that vision into a polished, playable experience that stays sophisticated under the hood yet feels effortlessly simple in the player’s hands. I’m open on the engine—Unity, Unreal, Godot, or another tool you love—so long as it supports smooth level-based progression, clean visuals, and intuitive touch or controller input. Platform choice is still flexible, and I’m happy to discuss whether we launch on mobile first, go cross-platform from day one, or follow another smart release path.
Key goals
• Build a core loop that makes “completing levels” feel uplifting rather than grindy.
• Craft an art direction that balances calm, eye-catching aesthetics with lightweight performance.
• Layer in subtle narrative beats so each cleared level feels like one more step in the player’s healing arc.
Deliverables I’d like to see as we move forward
– A playable prototype of the first few levels that demonstrates mechanics, controls, and mood
– A concise design document covering the full level roadmap, art style guide, and planned monetisation (if any)
– Iterative builds leading to a vertical slice suitable for early testing and publisher or store submission
I respond quickly and give detailed feedback, so if you thrive on collaboration and care about bringing a soothing yet engaging game to life, let’s talk about how you’d approach it and what timeline you foresee.
