Title: [Royalty]Need A Pixel Artist For 2D Platformer Maker Game.
Post by: Chay Hawk on March 26, 2016, 04:53:55 am: ABOUT THE PROJECT

The name of the game is Dr. Dangers Laboratory, it is a 2D platformer level builder game inspired by Mario Maker, Gmod, Scribblenauts and Contraption Maker. The way I designed the game, it will have the fun and creativity of Mario Maker, Scribblenauts and Contraption maker, with the flexibility of Gmod, allowing the player to create pretty much anything they can think of, and design their own levels and prefab items and share them with others.

However I shoudl state that this is not an actual game making program like Game Maker or RPG Maker, its an actual game.

I need a pixel artist though, I would take anyone willing to do it for either royalties, or a beginner just looking for experience.

I need someone who can begin work immediately.

If anyone is interested please contact me at: thundermountainstudios@yahoo.com and we can talk business. You can also PM me if you like.

Thank You, Chay Hawk

Good luck finding your programmer though. I hope you'll succeed :D

I would be willing to do hourly, fixed, royalty, and/or combinations of the three. Right now I would just like some programmers to give me a quote so I can figure out how much i'll need, thank you for the kind words :)

Post by: Hyden on March 27, 2016, 09:24:34 pm: As bitano said I doubt anyone will take the current offer because most development work ends up taking more time than you estimate. A better offer would be payment per day or hour spent on the project or if it's a commerical game than a percent of the profit. The latter would probaly encourage the developer to actually make the game good seeing as that's the only way there going to get paid. I recommend you put this up on Stack Overflow Careers because sfml-dev.org has a small amount of users compared to Stack Overflow.

Post by: Chay Hawk on April 10, 2016, 12:18:31 pm: I found a programmer, now I need a 2D pixel artist who can do 8-16 bit art, you will be making tile sheets and characters and hopefully you can do backgrounds. This position is royalty, however I plan on applying for an Unreal Dev Grant and I'm going to do a Kickstarter so if those are successful, then you will get paid before the game launches. If you are interested please email me at: thundermountainstudios@yahoo.com or send me a PM on here.

Post by: Chay Hawk on April 11, 2016, 11:33:50 am: I sent him an email, thanks. Although he seems pretty wrapped up in a project so I'm not counting on him, so if anyone is interested still send me a pm or email.

Post by: eXpl0it3r on April 15, 2016, 12:14:24 pm: You may have better luck on a forum dedicated to art rather than here where most people are developers. ;)

Post by: Hyden on April 15, 2016, 05:21:35 pm: What exact kind of art are you looking for?
Title: Re: [Paid/Contract]Need A C++ SFML Programmer For 2D Platformer Maker Game.
Post by: Chay Hawk on April 15, 2016, 11:27:42 pm: 2D 8 or 16 bit pixel art, like Super Mario Bros(NES) or Super Mario World(SNES). I would prefer 8-bit but since this is a royalty position (at least until the kickstarter is successfully funded) I wont be picky.

And yeah I know of some pixel art forums, but I figure i would post here just in case there are any artists here that would be interested as well :)

Post by: Hyden on April 17, 2016, 03:09:02 pm: I'd be willing to do some art for free but I'm not exactly the artistic kind of person so I'd only really be good for making the tiles and that.

Post by: Chay Hawk on April 17, 2016, 05:27:55 pm: Hey yeah great, that would be fine, just some temporary art is fine, just as long as he has something to debug with. Send me a email and I can send you some stuff that would be best for testing.

Post by: eXpl0it3r on April 27, 2016, 06:11:27 pm: Might want to adjust the title if you're only looking for an artist now. ;)

Post by: Chay Hawk on April 27, 2016, 06:27:31 pm: Done :) I always forget to change the titles :P probably would have helped me out if I would have changed it a long time ago.
