Hi. My name is Kevin Gigučre and I'm the founder of Dragon Slumber, an indie game development company.

-- Who we're looking for
I am looking for a tileset artist freelancer. I am working with large tiles, 64x64. I am looking for someone who can do the locations justice. While I don't have any tiles to submit for example, I can provide other in game art to show the level of quality I'm looking for. Expect at least 7000 tiles to be made during the course of 9 to 10 months.

-- Summary of the project
Dragon Slumber is developping a full fledged Japanese style RPG, for release on PC over the Internet and Steam. The game is aiming for about 8-10 hours of gameplay. There are 6 playable characters, with an animation range around similar to Final Fantasy VI (ie, 3rd person fights with sprites and emotion animations during story). We have an estimated 30 tilesets required, and ~90 enemies and bosses. Stylistically, we're aiming towards Final Fantasy VI, a slightly gritty style, mature themes and all that. It's also our baseline for the visuals, battle presentation and so forth.

-- What we have so far
The crew currently consists of a sound designer working contractually on music and sound effects, a freelancer for animated monsters, a UI artist, and myself. I'm responsible for all the programming aspects as well as game design, game script, map making and basically everything that is not visual assets or audio assets in general. I also have prospects for the character sprites.

You may contact me at any time by e-mail at kevin@dragonslumber.com, or by Skype at ds_kevingiguere. I do not regularly check this forum so I discourage contact through here. I look forward to hearing from you.
