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.
We're looking for top-down gameplay levels full of interesting details and places to explore. Their design will be almost entirely up to the artist beyond the detailed brief, so creativity is required!
Environments can be either fully hand-drawn or 3D-assisted. Some 3D experience is a bonus as we have a Blender environment set up to help with perspective.

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, video creation, as well as some art and SFX.
Compensation:
Either cash payment per finished piece (via PayPal), or rev share percentage (including Early Access income, starting from contract agreement date). We can't offer anywhere near industry standard rates, so the position would be best suited to someone just starting out 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.
