3D Isometric Fast Paced Action Robot game needs Level Designer

[tigerija]

We are small group of dedicated developers with years of experience in game development and our field of expertise trying to make small but interesting 3D isometric fast paced action game with robots/mechs theme.

PC platform
Unity Engine

Backstory
Fantasy world ruled by race of machines that are self aware. They have capability of processing their own memory and are also able to manipulate or transfer their memory what makes them immortal.

Gameplay
Player takes role of small drone robot that has few abilities on its disposal. One of abilities is to control bigger robots so called combat robots. Combat robots are used for warfare and have ability to carry all kind of weapons and equipment. Weapons are categorized into melee and ranged weapons and combat robot can carry one of two or mix of both. Combat robots also have additional weapons and equipment based on robot class.

Player characters are Combat Robot and Drone Robot.
Player is able to control one of two characters at the time and can switch between them at any time. Combat robot is used for fast paced fights against enemies when small drone robot is used for hacking, controlling different robots, scanning areas and exploration being able to go through small tunnels where big combat robot can not go or where no combat robot has gone before.

Goal of our player is to beat through all stages using both characters. There are 12 stages and they are categorized by level themes; 4 stages per theme. Each stage has unique boss fight.
As player is progressing through stage he is fighting against various robotic enemies.
Aside fighting enemies, each stage contains lots of secrets and some objectives player can solve.
The story will also unfold as the game progresses.

There is simple customization system in the game that allows player to change robot weapons as he unlocks new ones by solving missions, accomplishing achievements and beating stage bosses.

There are other features and ideas but for now we will keep it simple and interesting focusing on fun, replayability and innovation.
