Hi, we're a couple of programmers working on a project we've recently decided we'd like to actually publish and were looking for an artist to help us out and generally dictate artistic side of the game. We've got a basic vision for it, but its something we're open to discussing with the right artist.
So, as you can tell, vision is an important thing we're looking for. That ability to have creative ideas should be coupled with the skill to translate them into something useful.
We (and by extension, you) are doing this for free, we plan to publish the game for free too, so we need someone who can be efficient with time and recourses. We also don't expect you to dedicate insane amounts of time to this. Its a passion project, so it`ll suit someone who has other things to do but still wants to work on something cool.
We don't plan on making the team for this bigger than 3 or 4 of us, so we need to be able to get along. This won't be a professional team, so we won't be expecting you to be professional. Just be nice, and productive, and we'll all have a bit of fun.
We don't mind if you're not as experienced as us if you're willing to learn. We both know a little bit about 3D modelling so we can help you if you need some grunt work done. Plus i've done enough animating that i'm confident i can handle any this project will need.
What's in it for you? Well, probably nothing. As i said, its a passion project. What we can guarantee you though is you'll make 2 friends who are more than willing to work on anything you have in mind in the future (if its good) for free. You`ll also get all the credit you want for the end product, and a bit of experience never killed anyone.
I know i've been fairly vague on what technical skills you need, and that's been intentional. We don't care how good you are if you have the right vision and the technical skills to execute it. I've also withheld any details on the project itself but i'm more than happy to discuss it in further detail if you need it, just hit me with a PM.
Cheers for reading all that, have a good one.
