I’m putting together a colourful 3D platformer inspired by the charm of classic Mario titles, but I want it rooted in a whimsical fantasy world rather than the Mushroom Kingdom. The core loop is pure platforming fun—run, jump, bounce—yet I also need light puzzle-solving and plenty of exploration baked into each stage so players feel rewarded for poking around every corner. Here’s what I need from you: • A small playable slice (one short tutorial area plus a full level) that shows off tight character controls, smooth camera work, and signature moves like double-jumps or wall jumps. • Environmental assets fit for a fantasy realm—floating islands, glowing ruins, quirky creatures—assembled into a cohesive scene that encourages exploration. • At least two simple, switch-based or physics-driven puzzles seamlessly integrated into the level flow. You’re free to work in Unity or Unreal as long as the final build runs on Windows. Please keep your code tidy and documented because I’ll be expanding the project after your hand-off. If this vertical slice nails the feel, we can discuss a longer-term collaboration for additional worlds and mechanics. Let me know what engine you prefer, share a couple of links to similar projects you’ve handled, and give me an outline of your proposed schedule.
