Character Artist and Icon Artist for Android / iOS Game

[mfroeschl]

Hi!

We are a small non-commercial game developing team that designs mobile games for Android and iPhone platform, and are currently looking for a 2D Character Artist and an Icon Artist to complement our team in our current project, a little pass-time pizza cooking game called "PizzaParty" for Android and iPhone.


About the Game:
Note: This is not and adventure game.

PizzaParty is a fun, fast-paced game in which you take on the role of a pizza chef at an Italian restaurant and have to speedily prepare pizzas. Under the pressure to deliver in time, you still strive to create the most rich and beautiful pizza the customer - or you - could ever imagine. Will you be able to find the perfect strategy to get the highest tip from your satisfied customers?

The game is currently about 90% complete and has already passed a closed beta stage, so it will definitely be released to the public in the foreseeable future. At the current stage, we just wish to add some new features before the final release and thus require a bunch of new fun graphics for these features.


About the Team:
Our team currently consists of two software developers, one artist and one musician in the late 20s to early 30s, each with a professional background in their respective field. We're located all over the world and collaborate via Mail, Skype, SVN and other distributed tools. Since our artist is taking an educational break we are looking for a skilled addition to our team, someone with a light spirit who shares our passion for creating games and would be interested in completing this title with us.


What we're looking for:

1. Avatar Design:
We need a design for the game's main character, the cook avatar "Italian Chef". The player should be able to customize their avatar and choose between different facial features such as sets of eyes, beards, noses etc. Also, we plan to add plenty of props such as hats, sunglasses, dresses and funny items (and we're also open to your ideas). We think we need at least 50+ items but the more the better.

2. Icon Design:
The user will gain a bunch of achievements while playing the game. Those achievements will be displayed in the game itself and on Facebook. For this purpose, we need one unique icon for each achievement. The icons should be creative, fun and easy to understand. We're planning for about 50+ items.

We expect 2-3 months of remaining development time to finish up these new features, so there's still plenty of chance to bring in your talent. You'd be working on the game's main character and the social features of the game and thus contribute a very important part. Also, there's always the prospect to continue working together on potential future projects!


Compensation:
Since we develop this game as a hobby, we have no specific plans for monetization and thus can make no promises regarding financial compensation. Should the project however yield any profits, such as ad revenues, they will be divided among all contributors, including you.


Contact Information:
If you think you could bring in your talent and your great ideas to take care of the artwork for either one or both of the features mentioned above, then don't hesitate to contact us! Please feel free to send a link to your portfolio to computerhead[at]googlegroups[dot]com, or just get in touch with us if you have any comments or questions.
