Paperbag Boy is a platformer about a boy who, despite being born by two human-headed people, has a paper bag for a head. Being upset about not fitting in, he wishes for a place where he does, and he is transported to a world of people like him. However, he starts to miss home. He must go through obstacles to find his way back out of the world.

We are in need of a background / minor artist, a special effects artist, and someone to provide sound effects. If you are interested, please fill out the form below:

Thank you very much for your time.

I have a basic design for Paperbag Boy, but it will probably change in the future.


I was thinking that we could have scissor and rock characters. (scissors paper rock reference). The rocks would be small creatures, and once you capture them they will give you upgrades. The scissors would be enemies, which you must defeat to get past.

Bump!!

Bumpy bumpy bump.

Sounds good! I'll add you to the list.

I made some designs for the characters I've got so far. Tell me what you think of them, free feel to suggest any changes.

And an alternate design for scissors: (my computer was lagging at the time I drew this, it's a bit wonky)

They look good! We could use both scissors designs.

Please do not get offended by this, since your projects are very well made, but you do not seem to be very suitable for this team.
