http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmYE7ntTOXY&feature=youtu.beI have spent about 30 - 40 hours implementing 2 player online multiplayer in the sidescrolling platformer example. Online performance is very good and I'm very encouraged after seeing mobile performance. My idea is not an MMORPG , rather more a 4-player drop-in and out Symphony of the Night style RPG meets Borderlands style co-op.
The issue is, I'm pretty bad at art and not the best at Tiled either. I am very comfortable programming logic and handling network environment side. Any recommendations on where to find a capable artist who is interested in this project?
This would be a split partnership if you can handle creating Tiled environments and all art assets for MelonJS. The plan would be to deploy this game for Ouya, Facebook, Android and iPhone. I have some monetization ideas currently, however I am certainly open to feedback.
Artist will have freedom in regards to art assets / level design and I will have freedom in regards to core gameplay. This is an HTML5 / Javacript game , so spritesheets will need to be fairly low-resolution , however I'd like main characters and enemies to have several different attack / state dependent animations.
Let me know if you are interested and we can arrange a demonstration of the online play.
Thanks!
