creating a game for release on the XBOX via download (independent
games section). It's a small project being made in a very "garage"
way. However, all of us are skilled and educated in our fields. We are
making this game because we want to go on to do larger game projects
professionally and we've accepted the reality that industry cares more about what you
have done than your education. The game is scheduled to be released
this summer.
Right now the project needs a background artist. More on that below but first
some information about the game.
The Game
The game is a 2D side-scrolling hybrid between different game generes
such as platformer (think Super Mario Bros.), a puzzle game (think
Braid), and a combat game (think Castle Crashers). It has very strong
ties to the fantasy genre but the world in which it takes place is
completely new. While there is a single-player component, the heart
and soul of the game is cooperative play between 2 players who use
characters with different innate abilities to overcome the obstacles
of their journey together.
What We Need
What we need now is a background/object artist. We already have the characters and creature art covered. We need someone who can help create the images that will create the the levels the players play on. This includes the background images that will give the world depth and mood. This person would also be responsible for creating art images for the gameplay objects that the players will use. The environment is very natural so think trees, rocks, logs, etc. This project is a small first part in what will hopefully be a larger series so we aren't talking about a whole lot of levels, but we do need someone who can work fast.
Interested parties should have the following:
- Experience generating 2D digital art assets (for games is a plus).
- Portfolio of previous art samples we can reference
- Healthy interest in this type of project
- Willingness to commit to the completion of the project
- At least 10 hours per week of time available to work on the project
- Ability to work on a week by week task basis with little supervision.
- Ability to use Skype internet chat (microphone, internet connection)
- Physically located near Los Angeles, California is a plus (not required)
Compensation
There is NO upfront pay available (for anyone on the project). The
goal of the project is to gain exposure (and "industry" credit) for
those involved. To maximize exposure it will be distributed with only a small cost to those who play. However, any profit that is made
from players purchasing the game will be split between the primary contributors on the project (which this position is one).
This a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in doing
artwork for video games. The sky is the limit for where this project
might take those involved. The team is passionate and committed. If
you think
you're qualified and ready to be a part of a project like this, we
want to hear from you! Please reply including link to any portfolio
work.
