Hiya everyone!

My name is Lilac. I am looking for dedicated sprite artists to help me out with a Sonic fangame project. We are in need of two specific categories. Tileset artists who can create tiles with a style similar to the classic sonic titles, "Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Mania", along with being able to cover foreground objects. We also need background artists, with the same goal, making background artwork faithful to the classic games, with its own style. Specific details can be specified if interested. The engine is already 100% complete, so there's no need to worry about that as a problem.

We do not have a site yet (for obvious reasons of it not being publicly revealed yet). There is a lot of stuff I can showcase for the game. Here is an example gif. (Low FPS comes from my bad screen recorder.)



There will be no money offered at any point in time, as not only is this project made out of love and dedication, but I don't even have any money to be tossing out myself.

If you are interested, shoot me a PM or Email (lilacchips@gmail.com), and we can discuss details there. It can be here but I'd prefer talking via Discord, as that's were the server is (My Discord is Lilac#1508)

Thank you all for your time, and have a great day.

I'm guessing you don't know, but SEGA is very lenient on Sonic fangames. They've even encouraged them in the past, so there's no concern on getting a takedown. And I'd rather make a fangame first for experience before making some other obscure indie game that based off Sonic

I don't think you understand the ideas of a fangame, to be honest. The point of a fangame is to be new, having new content. It's a game made by a fan. Highlight the game part. They want to make their own concept based off their favorite title. Why would they use already existing assets to portray that?
There are many famous Sonic fangames you can search for that all use Custom assets. Sonic XG. Sonic Nexus. Retro Sonic. Sonic Gaiden. I could list more, but I'm just giving examples. My point is that the idea of a fangame is a fan's desire and passion to create their own style of a real game. This applies to any fangame. So why would they just use existing assets for their new ideas? Makes no sense.

Sorry to offend you, but I'm just not a fan of reusing others assets, and it offended me I was told to do so. Just my view though.

And these same fans who made the fangames I listed didn't have money for that either. They gathered a team who were all interested in the common idea of a project and worked together. Hmm, it's almost like it's out of dedication, and not money? Seems you wouldn't understand that concept, no matter how many times I explain it.

What else am I supposed to say that I haven't said already?

Updated my post. Hopefully this meets the expectations you wanted to see.

Bump. We are still waiting for help. With this bump, I'll be showing some of our updated/new graphics. The playable build is still available.
