   artist needed for mr.driller clone opensource project [closed]
Project name:Not yet chosen. Working titles: "dman", "drillerman", "manic driller".Brief description:Mr.Driller - alike game. You can call it a clone. It will hold no references to the original title in graphics or sound.Target aim:GPLv3 opensource release (unix, windows) binaries and ports for gaming handhelds.Compensation:No money involved. You get credited in-game and in everything in connection with the game. So only satisfaction, maybe reputation, recognition and certainly an ego boost ;)Technology:Ansi C. Standard unix/linux toolchain. SDL+Opengl (graphics abstraction layer, software blitting can be added later).Talent needed:An artist to make the sprites, bitmap fonts, backdrops, etc.The current concept involves pixelart only but can be changed if you convince me (either by words or by visual examples ;))Team structure:Me, programming and everything else up to this time. The project was on hold for very long time, but let's say that - altogether - I spent a month or two on it.Website:Can be setup. Currently lots of MUCH MORE detailed info can be reached here.Contacts:Preferably forum thread linked above or directly by email: pinkeen at gmail com.Previous Work by Team:Lots of unfinished projects (due to lack of artistic skills and motivation [not advertised anywhere so no feedback, this time is certainly different];)). Can be put somewhere on request. Additional Info:click.Current gameplay videos on my channel. Check out the latest for all the features.Feedback:ANY[Edited by - dsh on September 8, 2009 11:52:26 AM]
  Hey! I'm interested. I don't have a portfolio or anything much to show, but here's a sample and one of my project pages over here.;  Thanks for your interest. I've been setting up a wiki with graphics specs. It's here.Look at it so you know how much work is needed to be done. It doesn't include logotype, menus, bitmap fonts or any further enhancements (not yet implemented nor designed) but should give you a general impression.If it's not enough or something isn't clear scan through posts in the gp2x forum thread and look at some screenshots/videos of the orginal "mr.driller" before asking me.If you think you're up to this task - I mean that you won't quit after few sprites then I'd like to see a sketch (preferably pixelart) of your idea of the player sprite if it's not too much. If I like it (and I probably will ;) ) then welcome to the team.[Edited by - dsh on September 8, 2009 10:58:21 AM];  I've already had an artist willing to do this but he didn't respond for a week so I thought that he is out. Today he reappeared stating that he is still on job. Turns out he had some technical difficulties communicating with me and some real life errands to run. I'm deeply sorry if I've taken your time. To sum up, I've already got an artist so this topic can be now closed.   ;  Well thank you for the reply and interest! If you ever need any graphics, just send me a PM.
