Hi, I wrote an open source jump'n'run game called "Snowball". It's fully functional and comes with a built-in leveleditor. For the next release I would like to replace all or nearly all of the graphics, since I'm not a good artist  ...Here's the website: http://www.snowball.retrovertigo.de/ Well, it's a free game, so I can't pay you, but credit is given of course! All the tiles / sprites are 32 x 32 pixel. I don't mind if they are pixeled or renderd, an ice / snow and dark / gothic theme would be nice though  Here is a list of what needs to be done: Player: a penguin, walk left / right, turn around, jump, duck, climb ladder, die. Snowball: just rolling left and right. Enemies: skull, spiked sphere, ghost, zombie, fire devil and spider. The enemies just need to walk left / right and turn around. The background and tiles are not so important for now, but if s.o. wants to have give it a try I wouldn't say no  Thank you very much for your time! Greets, Willi |

It's great to see someone that already has the programming side done
and just needs graphics replaced. It's not common to see a programmer
do that. I can't personally help you, but I think you should be able to
find a free artist since it's just a few sprites for an already
completed project.

Woo, I'm interested! It'll be a nice way to kickstart my portfolio I think. Sent an email to you already (from pyrofactor at gmail dot com) |

The game is nice... (For information, it works well on my Fedora 3) But a little bit too slow I think. You should speed up Tux a little bit... For the graphics, I'm just a beginner in Pixel Art, so I don't think I can help you much, but... Nice work, go on ! Bye... ------------- Jujucece |

Hi, @Blick: thanks for the kind words! This was my intension, so an artist could just change the gfx and see the effect immediatelly. I also think, that the motivation is higher  @zps0: This is great! I've got your mail and I'm looking foreward to work with you. @jujucece: good to hear that it works! You're right, the player is a bit slow. It takes too much time to walk from one side of the screen to the other. I would have changed that, but it doesn't look good with my cheap two-frame-tux-animation Don't worry about your skills, they will improve with the time. I was also unsure if I should release my game in this state but hey I did it and I got a lot of positive feedback I do also have plans for more games, my coding skills can only get better by writing more code Have a nice day!
