Position Filled, thanks to all who applied!


It's that time of the year again, a new game has just entered prototyping phase and I'm on the lookout for the right artist for the job.
I'm looking for a skilled isometric artist with proven experience, ideally with a solid understanding of character animation.

About the developer
I've been an indie developer for a couple of years now, mostly developing for iOS devices. Two of the games have been featured by Apple and made it into the charts at one point or other. The company is formally registered in the Netherlands, although I am currently in New Zealand.
I have worked on isometric games before and am well aware of the challenges from both a development and artist's point of view.
For more information on my previous games please visit the website http://www.cleverhamstergames.com

About the game
Still undergoing design changes during the prototype phase, the basic concept is a hybrid between god/rts/management genres.
It's an ambitious project but the time and budget are secured, all I need to find is the awesome artist(s) that will get the job done right.
If you're familiar with the game Populous that's a good starting point.
