Rotten Shards

I'm currently working solo on a story-rich RPG called Rotten Shards, built in RPG Maker MZ. It's a dark, emotional adventure about identity, decay, and the search for meaning in a crumbling world.
I’m looking for passionate collaborators to help bring this game to life faster — and better.

Who I’m Looking For:

🎨 Sprite Artist(s)

• Character sprites, enemy designs, NPCs, possibly tilesets

• Pixel art or RPG Maker-compatible styles

• Atmospheric, moody visuals preferred

🎵 Music Composer(s)

• Ambient, emotional, mysterious tones

• Dynamic loops for exploration, boss fights, and story moments

• Original compositions only

🎮 Gameplay Designer / Balancer

• Help with enemy design, combat balance, skills, and pacing

• Ideas for puzzles or quest mechanics welcome

• Experience with RPG Maker MZ is a plus

💬 Writer/Editor (Optional)

• If someone wants to support with dialogue refinement or side-quest writing

• I’m the main storyteller, but I’m open to collaborative voices

🔹 About the Game

• Made in RPG Maker MZ

• Main + side quest structure

• Turn-based combat with boss progression

• Memory fragment system for discovering the player’s identity

• Heavy emphasis on exploration, mood, and emotional storytelling

About Me

I’m a 16-year-old solo dev working on this project during my free time while attending school.
I’m passionate about storytelling, game design, and creating something that feels personal and meaningful.

I can’t guarantee paid work at the moment since I don’t have a job yet. If you’re here for money, I understand — but if you're here to build something together, I’d love to have you on the team. :)
