Project PI [Volunteer -> Rev-share] - Needs Artists... and wanna be artists Thread

Hi there!

If you are an artist from any dimension, or would like to become one, there is a project in need of more raw manpower...

About: 2 months in development, Project PI aims to create a 3D, topdown, low-poly, comic-book style open world detective game, built in the unreal engine.

Now, I know that open-world sounds quite ambitious, but it is actually a very small open world, which partially made using procedurally generated buildings and placed props. The art style is super simplistic and easy to work with, and rarely do assets get rejected for lack of detail.

Setting: The game is set in an alternate history 1920's with a mix of noir and retro-futurist vibe (think dieselpunk, but with electricity), in a crime-infested metropolis on the brink of crisis, where the protagonist is hired to solve a series mysteries, some of which are linked together to form an overarching plot. The details are yet to be worked out, hopefully by a skilled writer.

Progress: So far, we have managed to build a test version where you can drive around a lifeless, and glitched-out, cookie-cutter town, which is available for download from our discord.

What we are looking for:

- 3D modellers: In order to expand the game world, we are in need of simple, no-thrills models, Street signs, road sections, sections of building exteriors in classicist, imperial or art-deco style (I can provide the references), Trees, Vehicles, and in-door furniture/props. You are free to work in your own pace, no deadlines, only encouragement.

- Character Artist/Animator: Someone with slightly more skill, to model characters in low-poly style. If you can rig and/or animate, that a plus but not really necessary, as we can take care of that. - 2D artists: For various tasks such as UI, concept art, cutscenes, or whatever you do the best.

To apply: Send me a PM, and I will reply with a link to our discord.

- If you have no skills what so ever, or have beginner 2D, 3D skills, I am willing to train you up to an amateur-ish level, which will be quite sufficient for your participation in the project, if you are willing to take the time. (Note: I'm not the best tutor, but there isn't much to learn)

- If you have other skills (Music, soundfx, writing, voice acting, unreal programming/level design) and if you are really interested in our project, I'll add you to our list of contacts, and contact you when the time is right.

Cheers
