[Unpaid] Need 2D Artist for FreeWare Action Game

RamboPowPow

Hi !
I've been working on a 2D top down action game in the style the old Smash TV or the newer Geometry Wars. It focuses on heavy action with lots of bullets flying around and always many enemies on screen to fight. I got a demo with 6 levels to share with you all, but I'm posting here because I have lots ideas I'd like to implement in the game, but as the only artist and programmer currently working on the project, and doing so part time, things are going to slow for my taste. That and I'm not that great of an artist either, so help in that department would be really helpful.

This is a game i spend about 10 hours a week working on and I've been doing so for a while already. I am looking for one or more person who could help me add new enemies, guns, explosions, power ups, levels, boss encounters and other graphics to the game. I already have a couple of ideas on my wishlist, such as a railroad boss encounter (lots of rails, with trains passing by and a giant train with guns to kill), kamikaze who can teleport, etc. I am also opened to letting you add your own ideas to the game, if you can contribute good ones.

I do not have a fixed amount of time that I expect you to contribute to the game. As long as you can contribute something, I'll be happy. I'd definitely love to work with someone who can dedicate a steady amount of time and energy on the project, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in you if you can only provide little sporadic amount of work.

Team is currently constituted of me (programming and art) as well as Chimera Music Group (Music and upcoming website). If you want to have more information about the project, or are interested in helping, you can either reply here, or e-mail/msn me at

Now to give you a taste of what the game is currently like (content will be added, bigger scale levels may be added, but the core game play will remain mostly the same), here are some informations, screen shots as well as the downloadable demo

CONTROLS :
Since there is no help in game, i will have to tell you about the controls !
the arrows are for movement, and WASD is for gun aiming. you can combine them for diagonals, and you can shoot in a different direction than where your running toward. Use up/down/enter/escape to navigate menu. It is also possible to change the control scheme and use the mouse to aim the gun.
