We are making a game about an insurgency set in a dystopian sci-fi future where artificial intelligence has completely taken over governance and human resource allocation.
Hi Alfred! We’re looking to create an isometric tile-based game, inspired by similar titles such as Final Fantasy Tactics, as well as turn based strategy games like X-Com.
We understand that you have an interest in games. Specifically, we’ve noticed that you’ve worked on a Rouge-Like (Valknutr) for your game design project. We would really like to seek your expertise on potential improvements to our game, on elements such as replayability (such that no two maps are the same) and level system design.
A draft of our story can be obtained here, https://tinyurl.com/story-orbital. We are open to adapting the storylines in the future. We hope to have a fruitful mentorship under you :D.

Hello Alfred,
We are a team working on a pixel art interactive visual novel that tells the story of a college student doing a game development project. Our game consists of non-linear gameplay, and the game’s plotline is influenced by the decisions that the player makes.
The main idea of our game is that even though we may regret the decisions we made in the past it is also these choices that made us who we are today. We want the players to be able to understand the message that we want to convey through playing our game as well as developing one of their own inside our game. This idea originates from the interactive movie Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. We have also played several games with a similar concept, such as Life is Strange, Detroit: Become Human, Emily is Away and Needy Streamer Overdose. These games inspire us for some of the features that we are going to make.
Your interest in game design and interactive storytelling aligns with our project's idea so we believe that your guidance will be strongly relevant to the development of our game. We genuinely hope that we can have this opportunity to learn from you so please do consider our team.
Feel free to contact any of us and we look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
Hi Alfred,
We are Team JavaBean. What we are doing for this Summer is to create a pixel perfect, Open-World RPG Style Game that utilises NoSQL Cloud database - Firebase for a virtual trading platform. Throughout last semester, we have been incessantly brainstorming our lore and what the game would be like, I hope our proposal would pique your interest in mentoring our team.
We are highly driven by our ambition to bring what we could've only dreamed of a few months ago into reality. We wanted to share with the world our story in a beautiful package in the form of a game:
Even though we only have 2.5 months, we would like to work on an area that is trending the most in the tech community - blockchain, so that we can better understand how these things work. This is why we are challenging ourselves by ambitiously infusing NFT with all the in-game assets! Despite our previous experiences in creating other projects, we are still 2 Y1 CS students, thus we lacked the direction in adhering to and implementing good software engineering skills and principles, especially in the testing department. This is why we look forward to your guidance in helping our team to reach our potential and to make this game a success!
Thank you!
Team JavaBean.
