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 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. Art should be in PNG or BMP format.

Talent needed:
Artist:

I don't think anyone will want to play my game if it's just circles and rectangles so I want artists to make it look good. I have found a couple artists to work on this, but, due to various circumstances, not much has gotten done. So now I am looking for more artists.

Art would be science fiction themed (for example space craft), preferably anime style. I have posted an art specification describing the art I want for this game here: http://roachhost.com/icereapergames/ultraart.txt .

You don't have to be great, as long as you can make pixel art better than I can. If you want to see how bad my art is, scroll to the bottom of this web page: http://roachhost.com/fenedara/racdep.html .

If you are interested, email me at fenedara@yahoo.com. If possible, send previous work you have done (portfolio). You could also send me an image for one of the types of ally from my art specification.

Team structure:
Programming - Myself (Dave).
Sound Effects - Haydn
Music - Joshua
Artist 1 - Image700
Artist 2 - Sean

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.
