  • Hello Construct 2 community! Please go easy on me as I'm new to the whole hiring an artist thing. I've got this great game, Carnage in Space 2, and I want some great graphics to make it reality.

    As the name suggests, this is my second entry in my Carnage in Space series - I've already released 3 smaller games before now using a simpler game engine.

    I have a fairly large prototype available, which has many of the game's features implemented... but of course it's lacking on level assets.

    I am able to create player and weapon sprites for myself (though I wouldn't mind if you wanted to touch them up!); the biggest thing I'm lacking is level design and especially level graphics.

    But enough of what I'm missing. Here's what I have!

    Style:

    I'm hoping to complete this game in something reminiscent of SNES-era graphics - pixellated but not so much that you can't tell what everything is. Basically, something like what I've got right now.

    Pricing:

    Up for debate! Take note I'm a poor college student without a full-time job, but I would be willing to work out some compensation for your work.

  • Trying to think of a subtle way to bump the thread but coming up with nothing.

    The position is still open, and again, I am willing to pay for the work!

  • Can you let folks know what kind of budget you're working with?

  • As I mentioned I'm rather new at this so I don't have a good feel for optimum 'wages'. However, I'd at least be willing to pay around $20-40 for just the first level's assets - around 8-12 small, repeatable objects.

  • Hey-- i can do your project. Am flexable on price.

    kind regards, mark-p.

    Awesome! Do you have any examples of past game art (especially pixel art)?

  • > Examples are on projects page at website-- see above.

  • I looked through your website at some of your (un-labeled) links, and all I saw were some basic colored boxes, not pixel art. Can you just show me a few pictures of pixel art you've done (like in my prototype screenshot)?

  • A few set pieces shouldn't be too difficult. Your style is pretty solid on it's own, to be perfectly honest. I just thought I'd show ya a few examples of mine from a practice game I was making:

    If ya wanna see the set pieces individually:

    [Edit]: OH! And I almost forgot. If you needed things like splash screens or logos, check out my deviantart page and see if ya like the style!

    Hey, that looks pretty good! Would you be interested in filling out a list of requests to match the style I've got? Speaking of style, I rather like it too, but my selection of assets is very limited, and those level graphics (which I've replaced) aren't made for side-scrolling.

    The objects I need:

    * Forest background (to replace the blank green one I've got now)

    * Grassy hills (same function as the ones in the screenshot)

    * Tree branch platforms (for suspending in the air; don't really need to be attached to anything)

    * Small water pools/falls

    * Trees and shrubs (like the ones in the screenshot but in a sideview perspective)

    I'll eventually need more robotic enemies, but I want to see if I can find free ones first.

    Would you be willing to fill out that list of requests for $20? If not, what do you think they'd be worth?

  • I was thinking about charging about $5 per sprite or tile, so most of that shouldn't be too difficult. Backgrounds are usually bigger and more in-depth, so I might have to see how detailed you want it before making a decision on that.

    If ya wanna send me some 1-to-1 scale images of the sprites or the player, I can start putting together some mock-ups for ya.
