Project: Agents of Loki - A Marvel spin on a game called Something Unlimited. I was inspired by Something Unlimited due to how well it's made but also frustrated that there wasn't a Marvel version of it, so I went and grabbed some friends and we're working on such a thing together, as i'm just a Writer myself. We've already planned out a large majority of it and have some basic menu and UI. However our general problem is that currently, out of our team of 4, i'm the only one that doesn't suffer from college classes so work comes slow and whenever people are free.
-

Developer: Earth-34 (for the moment)
Patreon:
Discord will come once the first version of the game comes around (hopefully with your help!)
-

Looking for: 2D artist, we mainly just need someone who can draw in a style similar to X-Men Evolutions/Rogue-Like: Evolution. However if you can do UI of any kind, that would also be much appreciated.
-

Employment Type: Unpaid to Paid - Once the first version is out we'll be making a Patreon and any money gained from that will be given to those in the development team. First to any of the Artists that helped with the version, then to our Programmer, then to myself lastly. It'll most likely be Revenue share but with me receiving the least amount so that the artists and programmer can continue working on it without issue.
-

Work commitment: As long as you're willing. We'd prefer you stick on long-term, as we have multiple projects that could be fun once this one is finish, but right now we just want to finish this one, so that's all we're asking for. If you can provide art consistently or semi-consistently, then we'd be all the better for it!
-

Preferred method of contact: You can contact me by adding me on Discord and DMing me: Multi#00897 You can also contact me on this website too.
-

Job Description: We're looking for a 2D artist that can draw in X-Men Evolutions/Rogue-like: Evolution style for character stills and NSFW scenes, optionally Items, Locations and UI as well, but mainly just the first 2 as they're the ones we absolutely need. You'll be submitting these art pieces whenever you like, so long as we can at least get them consistently. We understand that life is a very important thing you have to take care of (as everyone on the team except me is dealing with college in some form or shape) so we won't hassle you repeatedly, just a weekly ping for updates on progress (that is if you don't provide them yourself). Keeping in mind however going long periods of time without submitting anything will have you evicted from the team itself. Alongside this if you didn't contribute anything to the version that's getting uploaded once the patreon is made, then you won't be recieving payment either (as you actually have to work to receive payment)
-

Additional comments: Overall the team itself is very relaxed and we're not intense whatsoever, we just really wanted to make a Marvel game in style similar to Something Unlimited and, obviously, one of the biggest factors that plays into that is the art. We'd adore having anyone who thinks they can draw in those art styles joining us and helping us out with this project of ours, as so far we're just slowly making due with placeholders until then.

Some advice, start Patreon sooner than later. Build your audience as quickly as you can, even if it is just talking about your ideas for the game or soliciting feedback from potential patrons.
Honestly I do definetly want to make the patreon now, but I've been holding back because I don't want to give something people start paying for, with not even an official version released for them to play with.

Create a Patreon and use it as a Developer Diary. Let people follow your game's development where you can talk about the story, share how recruitment is going, and post images as you create them. Think less about the money and more about getting info about your game out.

That said, once you start collecting money, the clock will start ticking for you to produce something tangible. You can also use that to motivate yourself to get things done.

Good luck!

So me and others starting talking about what you've been saying and we entirely agree with you. It's highly temporary since we still don't officially know what to call ourselves nor do we have an actual logo for ourselves and the game itself done yet art wise, alongside just some arbitrary stuff for tiers and the like. But as said we're just using it as a dev log itself.

Alongside that we also added a tier for the livestate versions of the game to be downloadable, meaning, beta's included, you can download the dev versions of the game as they're made and uploaded basically. This might change depending, but it's the only kind of benefit there is right now since money isn't the focus as you said and all posts are open for everyone.

You guys need to be careful, Disney is notoriously litigious. Research trademarks related to their characters and adjust accordingly, whether that mean renaming the character (which you will definitely need to do) or removing a symbol off of a character's outfit. Names can be added back in through an unofficial patch so it's not a huge problem, just make sure you don't ever endorse or take credit for the patch.

Yea it's one of the main reasons we were holding back on a patreon as well. Hopefully we should be fine, typically disney doesn't care for the porn stuff of it's IPs (otherwise rule34 would just be non-existent, as would the artists that drew them), but for now we're going to keep going and hope for the best while trying to do everything we can to avoid these kinds of issues.

Saw something about agents of loki on some other thread as well, but wanted to bring out here, is there any progress on this / any release planned?

There has been quite a bit of progress, even got a quite good artist as well! We don't have a release date or deadline planned because we're all fairly busy individuals, nor do we plan to implement any, but we make decent progress every week or so!

I don't believe the initial build (when the first heroine is finished) will be released for a bit though, seeing as we've only recently begun development. We do occassionally share screenshots in the other F95 thread though! (linked here). Patreon exists as well, which will always be open to everyone regardless of patreon tier, alongside any devlogs, polls, and anything like that. It exists purely as just a "You can see everything we post, regardless of tier. You can just get higher tiers for beta/live branch builds, and if you just want to support). (linked ).

Hey, just a heads up, I appreciate the effort you guys put in, it looks interesting and I can't wait for it. Have you heard of another game that is also Marvel based, aka Project Winter Heroines? That's a good one too, looking at Patreon there's also the grind system and stuff. Cheers

Interesting! Will look forward to it!

Incidentally I had been playing around with a similar idea based on the Marvel Universe.

Here are some sketches

I understand you already have an artist, but if you need another some time down the road, hit me up!

We're making progress, slowly but surely! It'll take time since top priority is our IRL lives but it'll get there over time!
