Hello!
I'm a composer/sound designer specializing in low-bandwidth audio for flash games and mobile apps, and I'm actively seeking pixel artists and indie developers for cool & unique portfolio-building collaborations.

I love platformers and shooters and RPGs, etc, etc, etc.  But I'm especially interested in art-centric games, strange little concept apps, and other quirky projects.

My main focus right now is on building a targeted portfolio of good-looking & interesting projects.  Whatever it is you're working on... if it's cool and it needs audio of any kind, please keep me in mind.  Thanks very much for your time & interest!

Hi Im John Close Im here Looking for an artist but I saw your Thread, My Game would fall under "strange little concept apps" The Current Project Code name is Frontier, Its a Space Exploration/Survival game. You would be in charge of all sounds and Music in the game.

If your interested you can Email me at jaypclose@gmail.com We can discuss style and more detail about the game then.

No Problem Ive been Working on Coding The Ship Building Class, and Working on the Ship Pieces. I'm not exactly the Greatist Artist ever so.... anyway. Ill Give you a Quick run down of the game, Currently called 'Frontier' Its a Space Shooter that contains the ability to customize your ship as well as Customize a Space for a Space station, a kind of, 'Home' So you can store parts, and Treasure from Raids and Fights. So not only do you have to Upgrade your Ship but as your Base and Ship become more valuable There is a higher chance that Bandits will attack you, to try and steal your High end ship parts. So you have to set up defenses at your base as well as upgrade your ship in order to Protect yourself. Which you can do many ways. Either Legitimately, By Transporting cargo between planets. Or Illegally by Raiding other Ships for cargo or ship parts. or as a final option There is a War going on between the Humans and 'The Collective'(An Alien Race) So you can become a Mercenary
 and Fight aliens and collect alien parts to sell or eventually use.

So Obviously there's gonna be lots of Lazer, Gun, Engine, Explosion, and other Mechanical Sounds, on top of some ambient and combat music. Ive updated the New Tile set, the old one is here:

the new one is(its kinda big because there's extra room for more parts):

Hi Pixel Folks,
Just wanted to give my thread a quick bump as I've completed another round of projects (including the one with Yasir, above), and am back looking for more work.

My site's been updated with new samples, and you can also find a link there to "Brocci's Beat Quest," which is a little flash platformer I made myself that's meant to be more of a playable portfolio than an actual game.

I'm still interested in smaller collaborations, but ideally I'm looking for a single, larger, (and hopefully more professional/lucrative) project next. I like the simple little flash games, but wouldn't mind digging into a deeper project now that I feel I've built out my portfolio enough.

Thanks & hope to hear from you soon!
