   Require artist for Sci-Fi Shooter (Xenon 2, Tyrian style)
  Hey all, I know that the chances of getting a good artist to work on you without some money up front is pretty thin but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway, since through all my programming years I've always really wanted to take a shot at this kind of game.Project Description: Side-scrolling Sci-Fi Shooter (typical of Xenon 2, Tyrian games) with money-based attachment upgrades to the ship. I'd preferably like a more open-ended game with the ability to add multiple areas/planets/fields in a wide galaxy, by scripting them or providing downloads.Target Aim: Well, it all depends on the kind of help I can get. For the moment I'm really thinking Freeware as something to chip in during free hours. For me this is real "coding4fun" rather than for profit, especially since the market isn't big for this style of game. However, I do have publisher links so if the game does get sold we can split the cash 50-50.Compensation: See above.Technology: Almost certainly Blitz3D graphics engine. I'd prefer the game to be 3D rather than 2.5D as it allows wider scope for "bolt-on" weapon attachments, and camera angles, as well as particle effects etc. Model formats accepted (in order of preference): B3D, 3DS, X, MD2Talent Needed: Just a 3D graphics artist for help with models and backdrops. I can handle sound, music and programming.Portfolio: Here are some commercial projects I've already developed:  http://www.skillsforsuccess.org.uk (3D football educational software)  http://idigicon.com/?productid=464 (3D "Speedball" clone)  http://idigicon.com/?productid=407 (Puzzle game featuring a Slinky)Contact address: cybersethxp!nospamplz!@hotmail.com
