Hi all,
I'm Percy from Half Human Games ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1132760/Dwerve/ - Dwerve ). We're looking for a pixel artist and an animator (preferably skilled in https://pixelover.io/ - PixelOver ) to do paid part-time work on an unannounced action strategy game tentatively titled "Siegecaster" set to release Q4 2024. The game combines top-down shooter and tower defense mechanics with high-res pixel art inspired by 1990s RTS games.
