Hello all! I'm looking for a BACKUP PROGRAMMER who can code in Godot!

Game jams are stressful of course, and I just want to have a programmer on hand as a backup, as my current programmer has a lot of other projects going on and might not be able to finish this project. I already have a lot of the assets designed and gameplay ideas written out-- and our composer has already created some amazing pieces of music, so I don't want all of that hard work to potentially go to waste. 

Please, if you have any experience coding simple systems (a tile-based puzzle game, a currency system, a SMALL shop system, [I can also give more details on the gameplay before you decide]) reach out to me either in this thread or on Discord! My discord is Maxacre

Thank you for reading and considering!!

Hello! My name is Max/Maxacre and I am an artist/game director/writer and I'm looking for a COMPOSER and/or SOUND DESIGNER to join my team for this jam!! I have a game design document currently in the works, and my boyfriend on board to program! Please reach out  to me on Discord or in this thread if you are interested in joining, my username is Maxacre 

Check out my itch.io if you want to see any of the other games that I have made or helped work on, and here is a link to my portfolio!

I'm planning on doing pixel art for this game :)

I'm open to any skill level or music genre, but I particularly really like 8-bit chip tune style if you are able to create music in that style!

Hello! I'm Max/Maxacre and I'd be very interested in having you on my team! I love the Nintendo-style beats that you linked, I definitely think you would be a great fit for some very bouncy tropical sounding tracks :) I am the main game director/writer/artist, and I have a programmer on my team as well! Please let me know if your offer is still open because it would be awesome to collab with you! I'll send you a request on discord as well!

I'm very happy to have been the UI Designer for this game!! I adore everything about it, from the music to the amazing sprites and backgrounds, such a talented team all around! I also love flirting with ghosts... like a lot!!! Clover and Beau are my favorite but after playing the demo I have a newfound love for Victoria.., She's actually so sweet!! & I'm really intrigued by whoever is the mystery resident as well... I will find you, and I will flirt with you!!! Or give you cheese!!! BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY AND CAN'T BUY YOU CHEESE YET!!! BUT SOON!!! Really looking forward to the full release, loving the fun so far!! :] <3

This was a really fun little experiment to try! :]

Hello!!! I was just curious about the zine size requirements-- The description says the zines should fit a single sheet of 8.5"x11" letter paper-- but you also mention margins and that the printers won't be able to handle full bleed? Would that make the size any different, or how should I format my zine on that size paper in order to compensate for the margins? Any help is appreciated!! Thank you :]]

Ding ding ding!!! (I didn't notice that on my own playthroughs of it) That's super cool!! :D

Thank you for the feedback!! :] It's really helpful to hear some ideas for improvement!

YAYY!! So glad you had fun playing :]

THANK YOUUUU RAHHHHHHHHHH!!

REAL! Thank you!! :)

YIPEE!! The heart game is a challenge (I also had to concentrate so hard when playing it) :] !

CUTEEE!

Very poetic and beautifully written :]

YAYAYAY!!! I love this game idea!!! I had a lot of fun clicking cookies :]

This is beautiful.... I loved this so much I was so excited to...
(SPOILER!!!! BELOW!!!!)

kiss the cosmic turtle !!!!! <3

SO CUTE!!!!!!! AMAZING WORK!!!!!!!!!!

Super cute artstyle!!!! I love love the color palette!!! It was challenging for me because I struggle to remember things, but I enjoyed it a lot! :] <3

I got 28... but at what cost!!!

Sorry! I've already found a teammate but thank you for reaching out! I hope to see your turtley game :]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! AHHH!! I love the snail emoji !!! ๑ï ๑ï ๑ï

Hello!!
I'm Maxacre (Max for short), and I am interested in joining someone else's team as an artist in some capacity! I have experience and enjoy doing character art the most (sprites, CG's, etc...) but I can also do UI artwork, and I need more practice illustrating backgrounds for my portfolio so I can fill the role of a background artist as well depending on what your team is looking for! I also enjoy doing character designs, and can help with the editing of scripts if wanted!

Here is a link to my portfolio: https://maxacreportfolio.carrd.co/#

Please reach out to me on discord if you are interested in working together! My username is: Maxacre

Hello all! 
I'm Max or Maxacre and I'm an artist/animator/writer and I was looking for a programmer to team up with for this jam! I already have a couple short game ideas based on the potential themes (and which will probably change dramatically as well when the core theme is announced), and was hoping to find a programmer who could help bring these ideas into a reality! I was hoping to do a point-and-click style game or those ones where you can drag certain items across the screen (like if it was a cooking game you'd be dragging the ingredients around, etc)-- so if this is something you'd be interested in working on please DM me on discord, my username is Maxacre 

Here is also a link to my portfolio so you can see the work I've done before and get a sense of my style! https://maxacreportfolio.carrd.co/#

I look forward to hopefully working with you!!! :D

AHHH I was so happy to get to help out with the game page assets for this project ! :D It was really fun watching you all work so tirelessly on this and I'm very impressed with how great it came out! All of the models and textures are so intricate and stylized, giving the entire game a very polished look and contributing to the unique ambience/atmosphere which I LOOOVE. I also am really in love with all of the characters; their banter, inner conflicts, and relationships. My favorite has to be Carminamine! All in all, this game is fantastic and made me think.

I think that I've already found one, but thank you for reaching out! :D

Hello! I'm Maxacre (or Max) and I'm a mostly solo-dev developing a game called A Writer's Muse, which is a cross between an RPG Maker Horror Game, a visual novel, and a dating sim. I am doing the majority of all the other work, but I am in search of a music composer to compose some background tracks for my game! 

The position would be purely volunteer, but you will of course be credited for your work in the credits. I also have hopes in the future to publish the full game to steam when it is done in the distant future, possibly for a price other than free (still deciding), so please keep in mind that if you decide to help write some tracks, you will be credited for your work but will not be repaid for it if I choose to go this route. 

Here's a little about the game: 

A Writer's Muse is a RPG Maker Horror/Visual Novel/Dating Sim Game where you play as a writer plagued by a lack of inspiration, which you can only quell by taking a trip to the small town of Roosevelt and meeting the friendly and sweet-- sometimes teasing--Theo, who runs a humble coffee shop in town. He seems like the most caring man you've ever met, but the more you talk to him... the more you wonder could there be more to his bubbly demeanor than you previously thought?

 ...And there are the whispers of the townsfolk, the dead birds outside your window, the sometimes deathly silent wood...

 In the crease of the valley, with one railroad leading in, and the same one leading out...

 You are here to stay. Together, will you complete your magnum opus, find love, or will you bite off more than you can chew? 

---

If you are interested, please send me some examples of your music work over discord (ill accept your message request once I recieve it)

 I'm hoping for more 8-bit style music for the game so if you have examples of music like that, send them over-- not a requirement though!

ALSO! Here's a link to the game's dev-log just for an idea of the game's style! :

I am interested! Would love to hear more about the game so let me know your email! :D

AHHH I LOVE THIS… THE LIGHTING AND DETAIL IS BEAUTIFUL ⭐️

Hello! I’m a 2D/Comic/Pixel Artist & Animator looking for a team for the Scream 2025 Jam this year! 

Here is my portfolio for examples of my work! : https://maxacreportfolio.carrd.co/#

I’m looking for a team with some unique and creative game ideas that I can help contribute art and assets too! Let me know your amazing ideas because I want to grow to be as passionate about the project as you are, and that’s something that’s really important to me! :D I’m a big fan of visual novels/narrative driven games, as well as anything similar to RPG Maker Horror games or horror Point and Click games! I have made tile sets, character designs, sprite art, pixel art animations, background art, and a lot more! If you are interested in including me in your team please tell me a little about your game idea below in the comments or message me on Discord : Maxacre 

I absolutely love the idea of this game and would be happy to contribute in any way if you are still looking for pixel/2D artists! If you are, here are some examples of my pixel art work/animation! : https://maxacreportfolio.carrd.co/#gameart !! :D

Hello! I might be interested in working with you! Let me know some of your ideas on Discord and I'll get back to you on it :) !

I'm looking to pitch in on-going/protentional projects for this jam to do some sprites/character designs/backgrounds/CG's/ETC! I might not be able to handle a full work load of 10+ expression sprites or 5 beautifully rendered backgrounds, but I'd be able to at least contribute some work to a team that is lacking an artist or needs an extra assist in a particular area! My art is on my Instagram for you to check out! Please reach out and reply if you are interested! :) https://www.instagram.com/maxacre13/?igshid=ZDc4ODBmNjlmNQ%3D%3D

YAYY!! I love Ren'Py visual novels and yanderes so this was a treat! Love the time loop idea and how there is seemingly nothing beyond the forest so you really are trapped. Lots of Yuno Gasai vibes, look forward to seeing if you expand on this! I think the script could benefit from some tweaking with spelling and pacing/clarity, and more backgrounds/sprites would be lovely! :]

I really enjoyed playing this! The visual style is super amazing and I really liked all the settings and characters! This has got to be maybe my favorite out of the Scream Forever entries that I have played so far! I'd love to see you return to this to maybe expand on the story or characters-- even though we aren't supposed to return to them sadly... I'd just love to hear more about Itsy and Bitsy's lives and their stories :] Awesome game!

Yayy!! I can't wait to watch your playthrough :) thanks for checking it out!

I LOVE THISS SO MUCH THE PIXEL ART IS SOOO NICE!!! I love the slasher animation icon the most!! The color scheme really brings the artwork together as well! I also found that this runs really smooth and I hardly ever got stuck or soft-locked in some way ! AMAZING game!

I really love the artwork for this a looot!! My only comment is that I think the pacing of the story could be quite a bit slower, it seems like everything happens so fast and so it's hard to get attached to the main character's kid and wife before it matters, but it is a demo so I understand why the pacing might be faster because of this! I really hope the story is expanded upon in the future and I find it really cool that you got voice acting for it as well :] !! 

My first round I just got a coffee, some flowers, and went to the bathroom! I had fun later figuring out the hidden story through the clues :] Also I enjoyed the black and white aesthetic! I think that this game could benefit from a little bit more visual detail, like really fleshing out the map and places, and also some more eerie/unsettling dialogue!
