Unpaid Work / Re: [Royalty] Need A Really Good Pixel Artist For Mario Maker Like Game
« on: March 12, 2016, 12:40:10 pm »
Hi Matwek, the programmer does not get paid up front, only when the work is complete. As for not paying an artist or musician,  I didn't meant to make it sound like they were less important, I certainly dont think they are less important. All are equally important, I just already made a deal with the programmer, although I do understand where your coming from.

How much does a pixel artist charge anyways? lets say I wanted them to make 4 or 5 different tile sets, and some backgrounds, an animated character, items and weapons, how much would some one on average charge me for all of that? I could probably pay someone if it isn't absurdly high. I have no experience with 2D artists so I have no idea what they charge, I mostly work with 3D artists on my other project.

Hi Matwek, sure, we'll basically I had already made a deal with the programmer that it would be around a certain amount of money around 2 months from the beginning of April, and by the time she gets the game done, i'll have saved that amount of money up so unfortunately I wont have any money to pay an artist, but I can do about 5%, maybe 10% royalties, if the person is really really good. I have already found a sound designer who has agreed to do 5%, so I just need a pixel artist at this point.

Hopefully that answered your question, if you have any more please feel free to ask.

Also I would like to mention that I plan to apply for an Unreal Dev Grant from Epic games, they can give you anywhere from 5k to 50k for your project if they like it, no strings attached. They state that if a project makes them say, whoa, then they will give you money, and i have a very very very good feeling about this project, so there is a chance you can get paid, however that's not a guarantee. I could also do a kickstarter, but I have to have something to show backers, and i would still need a pixel artist in the meantime. Epic Games stated, that even if you do a kickstarter, they will still give you money if they like your project so there are some options, but like I said, I need something to show first.

Unpaid Work / [Non Paid] Need A Beginner Pixel Artist For Mario Maker Like Game
« on: March 11, 2016, 11:28:38 pm »
Hi, My Name is Chay, and I am developing a 2D game inspired off of Mario Maker, Gmod, Contraption Maker and Scribblenauts. The game will be far more powerful, flexible and customizable than Mario Maker, allowing the creator to make any kind of trap, enemy, vehicle, mechanical object, weapon etc they can think of by using pre made assets. (Custom textures will be allowed later in the games development.) Also the player will be able to create and share their own levels and pre-fabricated items that they make.

I need someone who can do pixel art to create tiles for the game. The art style im going for is Super mario bros 3, or something similar. The game will be made in Unreal Engine 4, using UE4's 2D game maker, Paper 2D.

If you are interested please email me at: thundermountainstudios@yahoo.com

Please include samples of your work when applying, this can be tile sheets, website with your work on it, screenshots of completed projects etc.

Thank You

Chay Hawk, Thunder Mountain Games Studio
