PAID] Retro Adventure Game background artist

by Vince Twelve · in Jobs · 04/08/2007 (9:40 pm) · 1 replies

Xii games (http://www.xiigames.com) is looking for a background artist to fill a paid position on an upcoming commercial retro-styled adventure-game project.

The game is set in a not-so-distant future when a particle physicist's mysterious and spectacular death sparks a race to find his hidden vault and claim his terrifying new discovery.

The team currently consists of:
-Vince Twelve (Linus Bruckman, Anna) writing, design, programming
-Shane Stevens (The Shivah, Mind's Eye) character art
-Nikolas Sideris (Linus Bruckman, The Forgotten Element) music, SFX

We are looking for a talented artist to create 320x240 background images for this lengthy adventure. This position will be paid.

We will work together to find a style that works for everyone, but the backgrounds should be of a commercial quality circa early '90s.

Some examples of what we're looking for in terms of quality include:

The Blackwell Legacy -- http://www.thexiis.com/media/style_02.png

Flight of the Amazon Queen -- http://www.thexiis.com/media/style_03.png

Reactor 09 -- http://www.thexiis.com/media/style_01.png

If you're interested, send an email to vince@thexiis.com. Please include a description of any relevant experience and, if possible, a sample background suitable for use in a 320x240 adventure game.

Feel free to post any questions you might have here.

Hey everyone.

Just want to speak of the best for Vince and his games, previous and future.

I worked with him on Linus Bruckman, a freeware adventrue/puzzle game and I have to say that he's been extremely fair, talented and a bless to work with (notice, not FOR, but WITH). He is open minded and thoroughly examines all suggestions. He is welcoming good collaborators and is fine to different perspecitves. However his vision of his games are always strong, and his personality is sure to persuade anyone for the right of causes. (We did agree in almost anything, but for the small things that we didn't agree, he had the power to persuade me ;)).

The game to come is a great semi-futuristic (not sci-fi though), game with a retro feel on the gameplay.

That's all from me :)
