**Qualifications**

Hey everyone,

I'm Nic Hunter from Nocturne Productions.

Working on passionate AA-title Project Versus – dark fantasy action inspired by NieR's stylish combat & original FF Versus XIII vision.

After 3 months on characters, lore, enemies & world, now building vertical slice/demo for publishers.

Seeking passionate combat designer who truly gets NieR combo-heavy formula + Japanese/Korean hack'n'slash.

Goal: Revive golden era hack'n'slash (PS2/GameCube: Devil May Cry, God of War, Onimusha, Ninja Gaiden).

Not one-time gig – want long-term collaboration. If we land the deal, join core team.

This sounds "dream big" on purpose. I'm climbing a high mountain & want the right people with me.

If working in games is your dream, I'll do everything in my power to help make it happen.

Opportunities don't knock – we kick the door down ourselves, guns blazing.

Everyone starts somewhere.
