Hi,

Our game is a 2D top-down RPG inspired by the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series. Players will be able to play as a capybara to explore dungeons, fight monsters, cook items found in dungeons to make food, make friends, own property (taverns), buy and sell items and play side quests, while there is a main story mode to explore the entire map of the land. More in depth details about the game can be found inside our project proposal.

In our poster and video, you can see screengrabs of our gameplay and you can see that it is a fun and exciting game we plan to develop. With your mentorship, we can take this game project to greater heights, than what we can do on our own. Hope to hear from you soon.

Trying our best,
The Happy Capys Team

It is a pleasure to potentially work with you!
Are you ready to be a part of a groundbreaking project that fuses innovative gameplay with captivating narrative elements? Join us in creating Wild Card, a unique top-down rogue-lite shooter set in a world brimming with gambling and casino themes!

Why Wild Card is a Game with Immense Potential:

Intriguing Narrative and Rich Lore:
In Wild Card, we offer players the chance to step into the shoes of the enigmatic "Joker," navigating a dystopian city plagued by greed and strange creatures. Our narrative is deeply woven into the gameplay, with players uncovering dark secrets and battling the kingpin menace tied to a powerful artifact in the city's grand casino. This layered story provides players with a compelling reason to progress, making each moment in the game more meaningful and immersive.

Unique and Diverse Playstyles:
Inspired by the four suits of a deck of cards, Wild Card offers distinct transformations for the Joker, each with its own unique abilities and gameplay mechanics:

Hearts: Focus on healing, health, and survival, with a mix of buffs and debuffs.
Diamonds: Emphasize shielding and AOE damage, providing a more defensive and strategic approach.
Clubs: Excel in ranged DPS, requiring skill and precision to master.
Spades: Offer a balanced melee combat experience with knockback mechanics.

Engaging and Dynamic Gameplay:
Our game combines the best elements of top-down shooters, time survival, and bullet-hell genres. Players will face waves of enemies inspired by casino elements like gambling chips and card suits, each with unique behaviors and challenges. The gameplay evolves with new enemy types, mini-bosses, and unique level bosses, keeping the experience fresh and exciting.

Stunning Pixel Art Aesthetics:
Wild Card’s vibrant pixel art style brings our dystopian casino world to life. Each character, enemy, and environment is meticulously crafted, providing a visually captivating experience that enhances the game's immersive quality.

Long-Term Player Engagement:
With rogue-lite elements, each playthrough of Wild Card is unique, offering endless replayability. Players can collect EXP and gold to upgrade their abilities and unlock new skills, ensuring that each session feels rewarding. The in-game shop and gacha system provide additional layers of depth and customization.

By joining us, you'll be part of a passionate team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of indie game development. We value creativity, innovation, and a collaborative spirit, and we're committed to creating a game that we can be proud of.

You'll be contributing to a game that promises to captivate players and offer a unique, memorable experience. We believe in the potential of Wild Card to become a standout title in the indie game scene, and we need talented individuals like you to help us make it a reality.

Hi,
As shown in our trailer, we are aiming to make a roguelike platformer game. We saw in your portfolio that you are a very experienced software engineer, with both front and back end experience.

Our main features includes parkour platformer levels, combat with dashes and without weapons, and unique upgrades to include different playstyles throughout the game, as well as possibly procedurally generated levels, New game + and user mods support.

Although our proof of concept still has a lot of mechanics that has not yet been implemented, we hope it displays our ideas and visions and that it may appeal to you as an interesting project that perhaps you could guide us in.
Thanks for your consideration!

Our aim is to create an all-in-one fitness mobile app for beginners and fitness enthusiasts alike. We strongly believe that your mentorship and technical experience in mobile app development will be greatly beneficial to us. Given our limited knowledge in these fields, we look forward to the possibility of working with you and benefiting from your insights. Why did we choose this project? As undergraduate students at the National University of Singapore (NUS), we have dealt with the limitations imposed by our busy schedules and the limitations of the UTown Gym. The amount of time available each day to gym varies drastically due to commitments. Moreover, the UTown Gym is an overcrowded space and equipment is often unavailable with long lines being present. This makes it inefficient for gymgoers to maintain a feasible routine to maximise their gains. Recognizing these challenges, we hope to leverage technology to make the gym experience more accessible, efficient, and personalized for everyone. Please contact us or refer to the attached proposal and poster for more information on who we are, our project timeframe, and the specifics of Well Nash. We are excited to collaborate with you and learn from your guidance. Thank you for your consideration!
