   Small dedicated team needs artist for side-scrolling game
Team name:We don't currently have a team name.Project name: Don't currently have a project name.Brief description:Joe and I have been throwing back and forth a lot of ideas and are definitely still in the experimenting stage.  The basic genre of the game will be a side-scrolling shooter, but the player will control a vehicle navigating the terrain as you progress through each stage.  There will be some unique gameplay mechanics that I'd be glad to go into more detail about if you are interested.  Joe has begun to do some prototyping and we are still figuring out the basic core mechanics of the game and how they will all interact together.Target aim:The aim is currently freeware, but we have not discussed this specifically for this project.  We are both open to something commercial if it looks feasible, but at this point it is not our specific aim.Compensation:This is not a paying job.Technology:The code borrows several modules from Joe's VDrift project. OpenGL and SDL are used for graphics, with SDL plus ogg vorbis for sound. Development is done on Linux and Windows and uses SCons for the build system plus subversion for source control. Due to the portability of OpenGL and SDL, the game compiles without modification under Linux, Windows, and OSX.Jonathan creates all the music and sfx primarily in Logic Pro 8 and Peak Pro using a variety of different native and 3rd party plugins.Talent needed:Right now we are just looking for 1 artist who would be able to provide all art assets for the game.  We originally looked at this Royksopp video for inspiration as far as mood and style go:">Royksopp Video We are very open to any ideas though.  You should be comfortable creating 3D art and textures.  For this project, we were thinking these would be presented predominantly from one angle (2.5D if you will).  We are not really looking for an amateur artist (I can do decent enough amateur art myself, but I'd rather focus on the audio side of things).  The ideal artist would be a professional or semi-professional who wants a different creative outlet within which to work.  Joe and I both work on this in our spare and don't really set any deadlines, but we do get things done.Team structure:Joe Venzon - ProgrammerJonthan Geer - AudioJoe and I both contribute equally to gameplay design and ideas.  The artist would be open to contribute ideas for gameplay as well.Website:Joe's Website and Dev Blog:   Venzon.org Jonathan's Website:   Jonathan's Website Tetrigami (see previous work section) Website:   Tetrigami Page Contacts:Jonathan Geer:   Email Jonathan Joe Venzon:   Email Joe Previous Work by Team:You can visit the Tetrigami website listed above to see the first project that Joe and I completed together.  The goal was to finish something very simple together.  I did all the art and audio and Joe did all the programming.  We finished it in our spare time over the course of a couple months.  You can also see more of our individual work on our respective websites listed above.Additional Info:If you are interested please either post here or shoot both Joe and I an email to let us know.  Thanks!Feedback:ANY
