Graphics Artists Needed! *Screenshots* - DunkOrSlam - 14-09-2008

(Screenshots at the bottom)
Info:
*This game is programmed from scratch using C++
*We have many positions open but mainly are looking for people in the graphics department.
(By graphics department I mean like Pixel artists and Login screen work all that kind of stuff)
*The game name is Leaiva (But do not be surprised to see the game name change because it is something that was just thrown in there)
*Its an ORPG (or MMORPG if u want to call it that)
*We are a very small project group of 3 people. These people include our Graphics Artists who is very busy and only has small amounts of time to help out with graphics work due to irl responsibilities (even though he doesn't have much time, his work is still awesome), Myself which the only title I could really hold is like "team management" as lame as that is...but yah I don't have too much to offer, and then our Main Programmer/Project Leader who has programmed this whole thing by himself (with some help on the side from the community of gamedev).
*This project is about a year old (maybe more).
*The server for the game is looking to be open to the public in the next few days. Even though graphically we are under prepared (which is why I am posting this) the programming side of things should be great. The reason the server is being opened so soon without being fully prepared was too allow us to get feedback from the players, to begin finding bugs/flaws in the game, and because we just couldn't wait any longer to start forming a community for the game =)
*As for compensation, for now the only thing we have to offer is a secure spot in our project staff. From there where things will go who knows. I mean even though we may currently only be a small group we still have big plans for the project and would love to have anyone else along who is willing to help out. So basically what I am saying is who knows what the future will hold.

If you need to contact me because your interested or maybe you want to know more about the game, there is contact information at the bottom which I will check constantly so expect a pretty quick reply. Also if you are interested in the project and want to know more about something feel free to use the contacts or even post in this thread because I will be checking it.

I think that is about it, if I left anything out feel free to point it out and I will edit it in asap. And the following is my contact information and also some screenshots to show you what we currently are working with.

Some of the art in the screenshots are very crappy, but they are there for place holders until we get some real art to put there.

I like that you're aiming for quite a good quality and standard, but yeah, right now you should concentrate on making some new sprites, and hopefully you'd redo your base, because its abit.. sad.

I sent you mail

Hey guys thanks for the responses I really appreciate it. As for the "negative" response. Its perfectly fine for people to throw in what they think even if its negative because we need things to be critiqued so we can decide if it should be changed. But yah as for my response to what magdreamer is that most of what you see in those screenshots (except gui stuff) will be replaced. But I think the problem u pointed out was our main sprite (the center one) and right now there is no plans to change it because it seems really well made, we own it, plus the full sprite sheet for it fits our needs. Now if someone creates a different version of that character that looks better then yes it will definitely be replaced but right now there are no plans for it because we have bigger problems... I mean cmon look at that ugly tree! haha.

Hmm I think I covered just about everything in these responses. Also thanks for the tip there DFA.

Well I hope to see more responses from people and I will continue to be checking back to this thread =)

P.S. I responded to all emails so far.

-EDIT- Oh yah I hope everyone realises that the horrible gray thing on top of the main chars head is a poorly created helm that is there just for testing reasons... its not actually part of the character or even something that will be in the game in a couple days.... lol =P Just had to clear that up.
