Looking for 2D Artists Thread

About us

We're a couple of students / graduates that have been making games for a couple of years now. We consist of 2 programmer and 1 environment artist. We want to put our skills to the test and make a game that we're fully committed to. We've been designing this game for about a year now and just recently started prototyping. We're really passionate about this project and hope to find people that share our vision to create something truly great.

Game Concept

Land of Suji is a 2D two player online co-op top down fantasy RPG. LoS focuses on a story woven around two playable characters. Traverse through an immersive world uncovering all the secrets LoS has to offer while making your way through an epic story.

-Story Driven

-Strategic Combat (Not turn based / More like Original LoZ)

-Small Open World

-Online Co-Op

Art Style

An anime looking style, but slightly more realistic. Hand painted textures to give a unique looking environment. Games that have a very similar art style are - "I am Setsuna" for the environmental style and "Transistor" for character style.

Our status

We've gotten the basics of the networking down and have two playable characters in the game. We just need art and we can fully start making the game. We have two very dedicated programmers ready to implement art assets. We also have a GDD, Technical Doc, and a Story Doc that are finished or almost finished. Once we have artists we can start the style guide. We're going to continue to work on the game with temporary assets and have a prototype working.

Open Positions

1) 2D character artists. Creating main character sprites along with other enemies / NPCS. Animations also required.
2) 2D environment. Creating things from houses to grass to caverns.
3) 2D concept artists. Creating concept art for characters and environment to help other artists get a feel of the style.

4) UI Artist - Creating things from lobby menu to spell icons.

note: Filling all of these positions will be difficult so it's better if you can fulfill more than one role.

If you are interested

Please email me at andrepnguyen@gmail.com your portfolio if you are interested. From there I can send my own if you are interested and the documentations.

note: Payment model will be rev-share, but honestly we're not looking to make tons of money. The game will most likely be free. If you're in it for the money look elsewhere. It is not a big concern of ours now and our motivation is purely out of passion. We want to develop the game in about 1 year, but if the process is slow I'm willing to keep going until it is done.
