   2D artist needed for web-based RPG
Team name:Mutant Studios (not registered, nor likely to be)Project name:Kingdoms (working title)Brief description:Web-based multi-player RPG (i.e. actually "Web", not Flash, Silverlight, etc). I've been working on it for about a year, and have recently started alpha testing it. Although it's far from finished, it's currently fairly playable, and stable.A bit about the game: it's a "persistent world" (I'm not sure it qualifies as a MMO), where players control parties of characters. The world is dynamic, so the actions of the players have an effect on the world. At higher levels, there are elements of empire building.Target aim:Will be advert supported with addition of subscriptions / donations to enable a small set of features. I'm more motivated by creating something cool, rather than earning huge amounts of cash. (Ads won't be intrusive, just a way of trying to cover costs).Compensation:I'm happy to discuss revenue sharing options, but there's a pretty high chance it won't make anything. As I said, this is more about making something cool, even if there's no real business model behind it.Technology:Web-based, so from the art/graphics point of view, it'll be creating PNGs/JPEGs. (For the record, the back-end is Perl).Talent needed:Right now, looking for a graphic artist. There'll be some standard web type stuff (i.e. layout, navigation), but plenty of real art work in icons, maps, etc. There's huge scope to make it look stunning, so I'm really looking for someone who's creative, has their own ideas, and can take something and run with it (with a bit of direction from me).Team structure:Currently a one man band, i.e. me. I've been doing web development for 12 years, and currently work for a major London-based newspaper. I've been gaming for years, and have run popular fansites for several games (in the distant past). Have a few contacts in the gaming industry as a result.Website:I obviously have a website for the game, but I'd prefer not to publicise the link right now. Contact me if you're interested (even if you just want to help test).Contacts:Email me at: mutant [dot] nz [at] gmail [dot] comPrevious Work by Team:NoneAdditional Info:While this might not be your typical game project, it might be a good one for someone who's wanting to make a start in the industry. The time commitment might not be as much as a fully-fledged game (on the artistic side anyway), so it could be a good launching pad to get your work on display.Also, just thought I'd point out that even tho this is a web-based game, doesn't mean it's not involved (or ambitious). I think you'll see that once you play the game in it's current form, and hear my plans for finishing it off.Feedback:ANY
