STATUS: Still looking for an artist. Discussing with musicians now.
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my request. I'm currently looking for peopleto help with some of the polish for my game, Interceptor as I near completion of the game.
Firstly, I need a composer to make music for my game. Because this game is being made for the original Game Boy, we will be working within its limitations. I'm looking for about 8-12 minutes of music composed using OpenMPT and the GBT-Player template.mod file (which I will provide.) The template file is built for the GBT-Player addon my game uses for music. It may be a while until we actually start on this, so I'm mostly looking for someone who would be interested once I settle on music direction.
An explanation of the specific template file can be found here: YouTube Link for any musicians wishing to give this a try (the video is part of a series about making games for the Game Boy. Something I'd recommend for any C programmers who are interested in it.) This video outlines the process I used to make the placeholder music currently in my game. You won't need to go as far as compiling it into code for my development setup. All you need is the Template.mod and an OpenMPT install. I just need someone who can write music to create music using the MOD files that my tools use since I cannot write music to save my life. If you're familiar with this setup and have demos of your work you can send me, I'll gladly give them a listen.
Second, I need an artist to do box/label art for my game. I will provide reference images of the ships that would be portrayed on the boxart, possibly even a reference render of the 3D models that can be translated into 2D art. I'm looking for someone who can replicate the watercolor styling of boxart for a lot of the late 80s and early 90s games (a pair of examples would be the Japanese boxart for Solar Striker and Gradius/Nemesis.) It needs to be something that scales well between the size of a small sticker that will be on a physical cartridge and the full size box as I intend to use the same image for both (with some tweaks made for scaling.)
Payment will be sent on delivery of completed work. The payment amount can be discussed after we talk for a bit so you have a clear idea of what is expected of you before we discuss payment.
If you're interested or have more questions, just post your Discord tag or email and I will reach out to you. We can discuss pricing and look at samples of your work there.
