[REVSHARE] 2D Pixel Artist for Indie Fantasy Sidescroller (Godot)
Xyphirium: The Twintail Chronicles
Project Description
Xyphirium: The Twintail Chronicles is a 2D fantasy action RPG / sidescroller being developed in Godot. It is a smaller-scoped standalone title, set within the same universe as a larger long-term project (Xyphirium: The Shattered Age).
The goal of this project is to remain focused, achievable, and finished, rather than over-scoped. A playable prototype already exists, and development is actively ongoing.
What We’re Making
Genre: 2D Action RPG / Sidescroller
Engine: Godot
Platform: PC (initial release)
Art Style: Stylized 2D art that sits on the border between traditional 2D and pixel art — readable silhouettes with a grounded fantasy tone
The game emphasizes tight movement, enemy encounters, and environmental exploration rather than large open worlds.
What I’m Looking For
I’m looking for a 2D artist to collaborate on:
Player character sprites & animations
Enemy sprites & animations
Limited environment props / tiles
Artists working primarily in pixel art are also welcome, as long as the style aligns with the project’s visual direction.
The scope is intentionally controlled. Asset priorities, expectations, and workload will be discussed and agreed on before starting.
Compensation
This is a revenue-share (rev-share) project.
Revenue split will be discussed and agreed on upfront
All contributors will be properly credited
Clear scope and expectations to avoid wasted effort
This collaboration is focused solely on Xyphirium: The Twintail Chronicles and is aimed at artists who are comfortable with rev-share and want a finished, released game on their portfolio.
Current Progress / Proof of Work
Playable prototype in Godot
Player movement, jumping, and core controls implemented
Enemy AI behavior and navigation systems in place
Keyboard and controller input support
Early sprites and concept art already created
This is not an idea-only project — development is active and iterative.
Who This Is a Good Fit For
2D artists interested in game-focused sprites and animation
Pixel artists comfortable working at the edge of traditional pixel art
Artists who prefer smaller, finishable indie projects
Artists who want creative input and proper credit
