   Midori - 2D Platformer Seeks Artists
Team name:Team Midori (until we come up with something better...)Project name: Working Title: MidoriBrief description:Midori is an action platformer (a la Mario, Megaman, etc) with a plot that parallels the climate / energy crisis. While the emphasis is on fun gameplay and creative level design, the player also gets to chose to play conservatively to protect the environment or go wild with his energy-use and consequently destroy the world that he's trying to save.Currently we have a working prototype which can be found on the website.Target aim:Although this is a "for-fun" project, our ultimate goal is to distribute via XBox Live Arcade and then port to other platforms. Obviously we will re-evaluate as the project progresses.Compensation:Profit Sharing. Any profit made from the project will be split amongst members based on the amount of work put it. That said, making any profit is far from guaranteed.Technology:Aiming for XBox Live Arcade, using C# and XNA Game Studio. There is some money set aside for any licencing fees and dev kits we may need.Talent needed:2D ArtistsIf you're interested in the project but aren't an artist or designer shoot me a PM and hopefully we can find a place for you. We will of course eventually need music, sound, UI, etc.Team structure:Scott Arnold - Artist / Designer / Team Manager / anything no one else doesSean Campbell - ProgrammerBromordra - ProgrammerEthan Chan - ArtistKenny Mitchel - Artist / DesignerKyle Murphy - ArtistWebsite:Current WebsiteContacts:Send any email to gorogorosama@gmail.comPrevious Work by Team:None by the team. Scott Arnold is currently serving as lead designer and art director on a RTS at a startup company, doing this in hos spare time.Both programmers are professionals and have worked on frameworks for platformers in XNA on their own.Additional Info:Hopefully this project is feasable enough to actually see the light of day, assuming we can get some talent on board. Thanks for reading!Feedback:Any.[Edited by - gorogorosama on May 27, 2010 4:32:50 PM]
  Add me to the team structure, since I am kind of your only programmer, and have the basic engine 50% completed already.   ;  Added two talented programmers. Now we need some artists![Edited by - gorogorosama on May 13, 2010 11:59:13 PM];  We've added a great artist and have another that might join in a month or so.We still need artists and another designer!   ;  Email or PM me if you're trying to find a musician. I also make sound effects, but none are on my reel. My demo reel:http://www.djnicotine.com/game_dev-Nick Deberguenick@djnicotine.com   ;  Huzzah! We finally found our artist / designer.We now have Etan Chan, Kenny Mitchel, and Kyle Murphy as artists, but we're always looking for more! Creating all the art assets for this game is going to be the single most work-intensive element, so if there are any more artists out there looking for a kick-ass team to join, hit us up!http://midori.redjustice.com/join.html
