Short intro:(can you deal with this kind of person)
Hi pixel joint community as you can see I go by the alias Ironstrom I've had a foray into pixel art digital art, an anime art (known as this name on deviant art)

I'm a experienced level design and had art direction impact previously solely in the free/modding community but now TOW is a serious project with a-lot of full time commitment.


1)I'm A team member and joint owner of
"Virtual Static"
Thats our Studio/Team Name
This is the "new" website as it stands http://www.virtualstatic.com/

2)As a side note digital art skills is a plus but not required, but we're always looking to expand our talent.

3)As it stands the job is not payed, for everyone on the team is working towards the goal of making this a career choice without fail. Having said that that does not mean it will be always unpaid, we plan to reward those that commit to the project. But in saying this we want people to be able to stick around for the long haul that are interested in the future of the game and can get along with the team. If your short on funds for various reasons that when can make priorities on our up coming funding campaign's This is something to discuss with us personally.

4) You can currently personally contact me at this email address zram.ironstorm@yahoo.co.uk (This is my media related email and is monitored often)
However it is preferable to contact one of the team ldr's Via skype under the usernames Ragefury(myself) and Joxno.

5) Our team Size as it stands is 4 Active members, including a music producer 2 programmers, and a writer. As it stands we really need a pixel artist that can animate in our world environment, there are a large variety of things we require, and to a degree we have learn't how to animate. However we would much prefer someone that is confident and wants to get in on somthing like this and have say so on the impact.

(personal point)
As a level design I've often found that things created in the art department wherever it lies influences the game direction in amazing ways. There are things here that you could of never of thought of, then find interesting ways to use them I really appreciate the creativity in this line of work. Some of it includes things like " hey I came up with this what do you think, " yea we can use that its great "

The Game:
The Old World is a top-down 2D Sandbox RPG focused on a dynamic game-play we allow the player to make a great deal of choices that are entirely up to them. The world is randomly generated each time you load up a new map, but will persist at your leisure.
The game works on idea's like sandbox approach non pre designed to happen events (scripted) A fresh experience each time.
A strong AI influence on the world where their actions influence it in the long run in a variety of different ways, they are also quite interesting to talk to and we want people to feel attached to them.

We have multiplayer and singleplayer support being worked on this game also works on Mac and Linux for any of you users :P



There in lies the basic's this project will require a strong amount of communication we want to be able to contact you over the microphone and be able to straight up talk we're open to dicussion about the game earnestly, we want you to become a part of the team and feel that the game is much yours as everyone else.

We Require a capable pixel artist, that's curious about the project this mostly includes the ability to animate al-thou static pixel art is also acceptable and in some cases needed. Also as I may of said before digital art skills are a bonus but not required its just the future planning.
