Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2017 10:19 pm
Lex the Wizard
Synopsis:
When his mother mysteriously disappears, the young wizard Lex is tasked with finding a new home for his family on the brink of poverty. The land of Dendimir is charming, but Lex knows that terrors lurk within the lands beyond the borders of his former home. Spending every day searching for a home and good things to put in it, Lex encounters many terrifying obstacles.
Lex The Wizard is a strategic card game/exploration game that tells a rich story through the use of dialogue sequences and a consistent theme in art, narrative and mechanics. The player faces off against an AI opponent that represents the mysterious dark forces that stand in the way of Lex’s objective.
Chisa Studios is partnering with TaleMason Interactive and building the game using their framework.

Deadlines/ Project Pacing:
While we aim for this to be a commercial project, we are currently still in college and therefore we are looking for part-time work.

We understand everyone has lives, so if assets can’t be delivered in time, we expect you to communicate that to us.

Sprite Artists:
Main Character Artist: The family should be cute, round and be generally more relatable than monsters and other nasty things the wilderness supplies
Supporting Character Artist:The supporting characters from the world, e.g. the Wildernesses’ monsters, are disturbing and as downright frightening as the story allows.
