Start the Repeat

Repeat is a time-based point and click sidescroller adventure game with a retro pixel art look. Wait? … What?

But not matter what he does, he’s back in the hotel lobby the very next moment, going through the same loop over and over again. Can you help him escape from this hell? The whole thing is time-based, you play for 12 hours per loop (in game, of course) and can you can do anything in that time (yea right 😉 ); kill Marc, help him improve his script, find out who the other people in the hotel are and find out what’s happening in the building opposite.
So much more information (phew)

Because our graphic designer is extremely lazy, he drew the pictures extra small and scaled them up; He sold us this (successfully) as retry style and pixel art. Because he doesn’t know anything about perspective either, he kept the pictures flat and told us that this was a tribute to the golden age of sidescrollers.

What to expect (one day, when the game is completed):

Story-based point-and-click adventure with puzzles, dialogue and interesting characters.
None, or as few mini-games as possible
Time-based puzzle design
Black humour (we hope for a rating of at least PEGI16)
A character who is capable of at least __ (number still up for debate) types of suicide
Lovingly pixelated retro style
Berlin 1982 (though you will only be able to admire Berlin from a distance)

Progress Game Development

Operating system

Repeat is expected to be playable on the following operating systems:

Other operating systems/platforms (e.g. Android, iOS) may follow at a later date.

Support the Repeat

Whether you want to help or support us materially, we are very happy about your interest. The material support section is still being set up, concrete information will follow at a later date. If you want to help and become part of Repeat – here is some important information:

What and who is Repeat?
Let's talk about ducats

Repeat is a leisure project and is currently being run by one person in terms of work and finances. In concrete terms, this means that there is no possibility of making large expenses, let alone paying proper salaries. This will remain the case unless something changes in the financial structure of the project (hello mysterious millionaire). If the project is successfully completed and income is generated through sales, etc., it can be paid out in cash. If the project is successfully completed and income is generated through sales, etc., this can be divided according to the contribution to the project after deduction of expenses.
So if you are focused on good pay or getting rich, you should look for something else to avoid disappointment. But if you are still not deterred, read on.
Free time? Project!
No money? No free time? Why on earth?

Because you can be part of a great project and together we can create a wonderful and unique game. So if, despite all the points mentioned above, you are not put off, but on fire, then you are our Mr./Mrs./Mx.! Have a look at what we are still looking for. If there are no vacancies in the desired area (or if the area doesn’t even exist), get in touch anyway, we will surely find a way for you to get involved in the project together!

What we are still looking for at the moment (list will be updated/added to at a later date):

Pixel nudging (Graphic)

Who you are
You are a person with graphic experience and you feel attracted by our project. Or let’s say you have fallen in love with the project and would like to participate. You know pixelart or have the confidence to do so. You can join an existing project and have no problem that the guidelines arise from the already existing style as well as the story. You can implement them creatively.
What you do
As mentioned, there is already a graphic designer. He will make the figures (and possibly other parts).
You would be responsible for the backgrounds, inventory objects and/or other screens.
Technical specification
The resolution of the game is 1280×720 pixels. But for the pixel look we create the graphics for the scenes and characters in a smaller resolution (320×180) and scale them up. We create the GUI (General User Interface) elements and the inventory objects in the actual game resolution (so you can see more of them).
The figures (which are created by the other graphic artist) are made with Cinema4D, the backgrounds with Photoshop.
For you, Photoshop (and/or other/similar programs) would be crucial. Cinema4D is absolutely not a must (unless you already know it, in which case it wouldn’t hurt).

You want to join us? Then get in touch via the contact form. Wir freuen uns sehr auf deine Nachricht! We look forward to hearing from you!
