Hi,

My name is Mhyre, and I am the current CEO of Epic Minds. We are a brand new "Community Based Development Studio" (CBDS). I am myself a programmer and pixel artist. Epic Minds is made of 5 dedicated staffs, including myself. While our http://www.epicminds.org - website is under construction, I am reaching out for pixel artists to join us on our first game project: Milana.

Here's the current background story for our game, written by Pojo:

The expansive known world of Milana is, in short, a utopia. From the rich blue water to the vibrant landscapes, Milana is a realm known for its good fortune.

Under the shadow of long dormant volcano, this land lives in complete harmony. Tribes of numerous races live in a poetic environment that only the most optimistic of hymns could describe.
Their ways are simple, and their lives, artistic and desirable. Their lifeblood is in the water. Their lakes, their seas, rivers and oasis, all pristine and magical, as if touched by an unseen god. The creatures who call the waterfronts home will happily attest to the mystical properties of the water, and how it betters their lives and cures all ailments.

But those were happier times.

A dense smog coats the land. Inferno, the once fiery peak that was long since thought to have died out, has begun to breathe once more. And with each breath it takes, more of the land is plagued in flames and ash. Soon, the whole of Milana will be taken by the purging fires.. unless they can douse it.

But who will brave the hellfire embarking on an odyssey for the waters of life?



The hero is set to be a girl called Rain, with magical powers from the water element.
The game will be a 2D RPG with a leveling system, small stats and dungeons, along with sword fights and a few spells.

Planned to be released on PC and iPhone/Android, we are currently looking over an open source game engine called Orx, who seems to be able to build and support it on all of those platforms.

Requirements:
Let it be known that you may be asked to fix a few things while doing your work. I personally review what everyone is doing as often as possible.
You must keep a consistent style and palette throughout all the development phase. Dedication is awaited. Pixel artists hired for the project will be paid AFTER the work is done.

WORK TO DO:
  • Tiles
  • Sprites (Characters/Baddies/Spells)
  • Animations

Position filled, thanks to all those who applied!

P.S: Still accepting portfolios submissions, as I feel I will need more pixel artists later projects. Do not hesitate to show off!
