I'm making a new game called Rust, where you play as a super bot made to fight against a wave of darkness that has overcome the world.

I'd love to create a dev team for this game. Look at the skills/jobs that you can do for the team and fill out the form at the bottom.

Story
SPOILERS
The Endless Night started 10 years ago, when a rift opened in the sky, and out came monsters of darkness that turn all humans near them to stone. Directly under the rift is where there are rumors of the location (nicknamed Ground Negative) of the Night Source, the fuel for all of these monsters. For years, a company (name pending) under a government contract has been researching a super robot to fight off the Endless Night. Their result: D-5675-c, a super soldier robot with endless capabilities. The company's last remaining factories start producing these robots, including Rust, serial number D-5675-d-017, codename: RU5T. The first 1000 robots that were made, including Rust, were meant to be leaders and included a togglable emotion chip. Rust, being a leader, leads a group on a series of 7 missions to clear areas filled with dark monsters, rebels, puzzles, minigames, and challenges. After each mission, Rust and his team will arrive at a safe zone, where they can train to gain higher stats and learn new attacks using add-ons. During the 7th mission, Rust finds a magic sword called the Emerald Silver. After the 7th mission that ends dangerously close to Ground Negative, Rust and his team head back to the robot army HQ. But before they can reach the next safe zone, a notice is sent to all robots on missions to immediately head to the safe zone closest to Ground Negative. The final attack has begun. The player controls Rust and his team as they cross the giant field leading up to a tower of darkness near Ground Negative. The Dark Tower is scaled by Rust and his team, along with hundreds of thousands of other robots, run up the tower. At the top is the Dark Source, guarded by a hooded figure named Dark Diamond. In a final battle, Rust, his team, and a few other teams that had survived the tower, attack Dark Diamond and their army of monsters. After all but Rust was defeated, Rust takes a final lunge at the Dark Source using Emerald Silver, eradicating it and all of it's creations, as well as the rift, but sending Rust flying thousands of miles away, never to be seen again.

You will be credited, both in the notes/credits and the end credits scene of Rust.

Background art would be making background scenes for all of the different stages/areas of the platformer. Could you give me a reference (Something you've done before along the lines of background art)?

Accepted! I will most definitely add you to the studio and member list.

2 questions, as you are now a collaborator:
Would you like to start working asap?
Would you like to be Head of Art for the collab?

So I do have music classes once a week, but that's shouldn't disrupt my schedule too much, I'd say I could work for a solid 30-45 minutes a weekday, maybe 1 hour on the weekends. I will notify you if my schedule changes and I can't work as much. RIght now I have lots of time on my hands, so sure I guess, It might take longer though because I have to sketch things out. Would you like it to be in the similar design I sent you?

And sure!
I will update you on how the art's going every few days.

I actually could use someone who could animate platforming run cycles/animations.
I'll add you to the studio and forum list.

1 question:
Are you willing to start asap?
