Project title: The Zone: Stalker Stories

Steam page - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1299540/The_Zone_Stalker_Stories/

HD trailer: 


The brief:

Zone is a top-down narrative RPG with turn-based card combat inspired by titles like Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon. Lots of unique audiovisual style and top-notch writing to boot.

We're currently in need of artists who vibe with the game's cool and weird post-apocalyptic themes, heavy supernatural elements, and a dash of SCP-style horror -- able to work on an extremely limited budget.

Environments: We're looking for two things. Candidates can do either or both. 

1. Eye-level backgrounds (for battles and story)

2. Top-down gameplay levels (for exploration)

These can take the form of rendered 3D, hand-drawn 2D, or a mixture of the two, depending on your skill set. 

Examples:


Who we are:

I'm a veteran indie dev with years of experience on many commercial ventures, including the highly-successful Mount&Blade franchise.  Zone is my passion project, crafted together with a few professional visual and audio artists contributing in their spare time.

I do all the programming, writing, design, direction and video editing, as well as some SFX and some art.

Compensation:

Either cash payment per finished piece (via PayPal), or a rev share percentage for someone with patience who wants to sign on for the long haul. We can't offer anywhere near industry standard rates, so the position would be best suited to someone just starting out and/or looking to gain experience in gamedev.

We also allow team members to retain ownership of and resell any assets they create for Zone. This could be of interest to 3d artists especially.

How to apply:

Send an email to info@illuminated.games with a link to your portfolio or examples of your skills, and an idea of your rates.

Hey man, I looked over your post and wondered if you'd still be happy to take somebody in to do your art. I have some experience in making art for games and making my own projects and I'd be interested in working with you for making environment backgrounds. 

You can have an idea of my style from my ig (instagram.com/imstilladrawingpotaeto) and see if it's what you're looking for, I mainly work with making character art but I am good with backgrounds.

Hi, thanks for your message.

Unfortunately, since your art is on Instagram, people without IG accounts (like me) can't really see much of it.

If you think you could draw environments that roughly match the style of the examples I posted in the ad, maybe try doing one and send it to me at info@illuminated.games ?

Doesn't have to be an exact match but it can't look wildly different either.

Of course, I'll get to making the backgrounds and sent them over in a day's time if that's cool with you.
