The Project

An epic fantasy RPG built in Unreal Engine 5 — here's the scope

Zephara is a 3D fantasy RPG for 1–4 players with tactical turn-based combat, deep companion relationships, and a branching five-act story. Pre-production is complete — 500+ pages of design documentation define every system, quest, creature, and region. Now we need the team to bring it to life.

6 Regions
10 Playable Races
75 Skills
220+ Creatures
8 Companions
12 Endings

Revenue Share Model

We believe in shared risk and shared reward

Zephara is being built by passionate people who believe in the project. As an indie studio, we offer a revenue share model — contributors earn a percentage of the game's revenue based on their role, contribution level, and time invested.

This means every contributor has a direct stake in Zephara's success. When the game ships, everyone who helped build it shares in the rewards. No corporate gatekeepers. No invisible walls. Just a team united by a shared vision.

We're building something together — and we want you to be part of it.

How It Works

Contributors receive a revenue share agreement based on their role and scope of work. Shares are calculated transparently and documented in writing. As Zephara generates revenue — through sales, crowdfunding, and beyond — contributors receive their earned percentage. We keep everything open, honest, and fair.

We're flexible. Some contributors work a few hours a week, others dedicate more time. Your revenue share reflects your level of contribution. We value consistency and quality over raw hours.

What stage is the project in?

Pre-production is complete with 500+ pages of design documentation. We're now building the vertical slice in Unreal Engine 5, targeting Frostpeak Reaches as our first playable area. Check our Roadmap for current status.
