I am looking to develop a 2D pixel art adventure platformer game under the genre of Exploration/Discovery based off of the beautiful pixel art worlds and scenes in it.
It's going to take place in a very connected planet system, almost townlike because it's so community, connected via teleporters and short range spacecraft. It's going to have very serene scenes based off of very retro and stellar settings. There's going to be a continual storyline revolving around the player (meaning as your story progresses, so does the rest of the game worlds' story) that I will explain more once we get to discussing game development, but a good amount of the story will revolve around the worlds painted before the player, so a lot of your details will not go unnoticed. The environment and difficulty will be very reminiscent of other beautiful 32-bit platformer games, take Rayman for DOS as an example. You will also need to be able to animate, but not too crazy. Message me or reply if you are interested! ![]() A work I found on the internet that I am very appealed to, that I am hoping to find an artist capable of creating equally beautiful scenes.

This is not paid work. I'm sorry. But this was going to be free of charge to play. I'm awfully sorry if that discourages you, but I feel we are not giving someone our art, we are distributing it.

a word of advise: for the ammount of work you're asking, you might as well offer a proper payment because its literally "too much for absolutely nothing".
specially if you're setting your expectatives as high as the image you posted, plus animations and everything else. |

How can I offer money I do not have? I'm only seventeen, I do not make money yet.
I'll tell you what. I'll give them half of what I've been saving for two months if they design my game. Fifty dollars. How's that? |

That's ridiculously rude and self-absorbed of you.
Firstly, if it's unpaid, then say it in the first post, or at least use the [unpaid] tag on the topic name. This is an extremely large scale project, and it's unlikely you will find people to work with that for free, mainly because people who do have the talent and time will rather work on their own projects, or in paid projects. That's not to say it's impossible to find someone that will take interest, it's just that it's far easier for you if you first make a project that, you know, you can finish by yourself. |

How is that at all self-absorbed when I didn't even f**king come here with ny own intentions, I came here because my development team I have set up (which by the way are also teenagers working unpaid for free) told me they needed an artist? Or were you implying the fact that I was about to give away half of my entire wallet I've saved up in two months to whoever joined? This is my first time here, so I didn't necessarily read the rules, but I'm really not planning on staying if this is the reaction I get.

Also I'd like to point out there is no deadline. We will work on this NOT under pressure for however long we need, with their comfort level.

It shows how serious your intentions are with your project when you cant even behave properly while trying to recruit people for you. might as well leave, work a few months worth of salary and then come back, so people can actually take you for real, with proper goals and a proper sense of budget.
that, or save those 50 bucks and desing the graphics on your own, since you're so tight on the budget. |

Well, try to imagine how I feel when I resort to going onto an online forum I was suggested that I've never heard of with the purpose of hiring independents that don't need pay to do something they're interested in, only to be turned around and sent somewhere else because I don't have enough money to tuck into people's pockets instead, and then get called self centered because of it?
"With proper goals and a proper sense of budget"? We're ALL doing this because we want to, which is why none of us have even brought pricing up, because we know we just want to share it. Each of my group has a different hobby, or occupation besides the role they play in our team. I'm a musician, with musician goals and a musician budget, besides the money used for food. I understand priorities are the key here, but this isn't something I'm dropping everything for and devoting my life to, and I'm not asking anyone to do the same. and lol, go work a few months of salary? Sure, let me just go out and get a job, no problem. I'll just walk into the job store and buy a job. I'll even buy the Platinum job to assure I can just get up and job around without even have graduated high school yet, with no work permits. Why didn't I think of getting a job before? I mean, it's not like that's literally been right in my face since I started sophomore year. But regardless, I'll repeat myself. If I had money to give, I would genuinely be willing to give it, as I'm usually very generous with my money, but as I said, I do not have any. Edited by 9soulz - 27 December 2013 at 12:20pm |

Also, I was never expectant of that high integrity of a picture. I just said I was hoping to find one. I have a standard, but it's not very high. Probably on par with Terraria and Starbound. I'd be glad to work to work with anyone that's interested at all. If they can't create something as beautiful as that, they could at least help me with colorizing, or shading, or adding detail to my simple works.

Gee, don't take it rough, mmk?
This is actually pretty common, especially for such a new user. It's just that most of us expect you to make an account, post your stuff, hang around the community - or at least have some kind of portfolio - before trying to engage people in one's projects, mostly due to credibility.~ Take it as a lesson. About jobs, uh... ...Please don't try to argue It only makes things worse |

I would hang out and associate with these people if they were more friendly, rather than hounding me because I have no pay. Sorry if my response was long, I was annoyed everyone was receiving something else than I was saying, so I feel like I missed a lot in my first posts.
Edit: I had missed that you're the same guy who called me self-absorbed. That is what I took personally, because I came here completely selfless in just the interest of helping my team. Edited by 9soulz - 27 December 2013 at 1:32pm |

you should be aware we have nothing personal agaisnt your project, nor agaisnt you. people here values his time and work and for that reason you cant just expect people do it for free because you're a nice guy/have a cool idea. someone might lend you a hand, but for practical purposes, most people who take their work and dedicate themselves have no reason not to charge for their work if its worth it. most also do make a living out of this.
bunch of unwated, unnecesary sarcasm
you value your time and effort, so do we. at this point, i highly doubt anyone will take a shot at this, so i'll leave any arguments out as to why things just went terrible. might as well try your luck somewhere else or as i said, learn on your own to create the graphics your team needs. tl;dr: you're asking for a favor.
