Nightshift Operations is an indie retro-styled management horror game built in Godot, inspired by terminal-based sims and classic CRT aesthetics. The project blends narrative, resource management, and eerie late-night corporate atmosphere — all rendered through ASCII visuals and a vintage terminal UI.

We're looking for:

Programmers (Godot Engine)

We need additional hands to help build out systems such as:

• Terminal UI navigation

• Menu frameworks

• Scene transitions

• Audio controls

• Story integration

• Gameplay systems (resource management, events, etc.)

Experience with GDScript is preferred.
If you enjoy retro UI design, ASCII art rendering, or subsystem-based gameplay, you’ll fit right in.

2D/ASCII Artists

Help define the full art direction of Nightshift Operations, including:

• ASCII-style graphics

• Terminal-framed animations

• Logo and UI styling

• Promotional art / key visuals

We’re aiming for a unique identity that balances retro terminals with unsettling corporate charm.

Music & Sound Designers

We’re building an atmosphere driven by:

• 8-bit/16-bit music

• Ambient tension

• CRT/system noises

• Mechanical drones

• Minimalist warning tones

• Menu/UI bleeps

If you love shaping horror ambience or creating old-hardware sonic textures, we’re looking for you.

Writers / Narrative Designers

Nightshift Operations includes (or at least hopes to include):

• Branching story content

• Corporate memos

• Terminal logs

• Nightly reports

• Event scripts

• Character-driven mysteries

If you’re into analog horror, liminal storytelling, or world-building through old computers and broken software, this is your playground.

Come Help Build the Terminal

Nightshift Operations is already moving fast internally — menus, UI, CRT shader, intro boot sequence, and systems are underway — but with more hands and creativity, we can push this into a fully polished indie experience.

If you want to help create something eerie, nostalgic, and genuinely unique, we’d love to have you.

Welcome to the night shift.
