Team name:
Ice Reaper Games (this is not a company, just the name of my little web site http://roachhost.com/icereapergames)

Project name:
Ultra Blaster

Brief description:
The game is a simple top-view 2D shooter. In some ways it is derived from Asteroids. The game is mostly done, except for art and sound. If you want to try it, you can get it at my web site: http://roachhost.com/icereapergames . I have already released it as shareware, but I am still looking to improve it.

Target aim:
Shareware

Compensation:
A percentage of revenue proportional to time spent on the project. This could end up being zero. I made one shareware game before, but I couldn't sell it successfully (because the art sucked and it was too complicated).

Technology:
The game is written in java. Artist could use whatever they want to make art.

Talent needed:
Artist - I don't think anyone will want to play my game if it's just circles and rectangles (even though they're fun circles and rectangles!) so I want an artist to make it look good. Art would be science fiction themed (mostly space craft). I am looking for someone that is better at making art than I am, which isn't asking very much. I could use even a little bit of artwork (5 images), but lots would be good (100 images). I am hoping to finish this in the next couple months. I recently found an artist, but this game could use a lot of art so if anyone is interested, I am still looking.  Even more recently I received emails from a couple more artists interested in working on this.  I haven't yet confirmed that they definitely want to work on it, but if they do, I will mostly leave it up to the 3 artists to decide if more artists would be good.  Anyway, if anyone is interested, please still feel free to email me.

Team structure:
Programming - Myself.
Sound Effect/Music Person - 2 people
Artist - 1 person

Additional Info:
I have a full-time job in the gaming industry which is unrelated to this project, so I am only going to be working on this nights and weekends.

If you are interested, email me at fenedara@yahoo.com. If possible, send previous work you have done (portfolio).
