Hello, i'm looking for a pixel artist to collaborate to the project i'm doing, the project is called Go-Hero! (Thanks in advance for reading the post)
Description
It's a physical console where you have your own little hero that accompany you during your daily life, it doesn't punish the player since its autonomous but the more you play the more rewards you get.
The game is a virtual pet with some RPG elements, the screen is 320x240 so a 64x64 pixel character is most likely the fit.
The idea is to have a hero fully personalizable, for that i was doing test of 3D to Pixel Art and while it works my main problem is the face and how to make it cute.
Progress already made?
- Custom Game Engine.
- Custom Hardware.
- Many UI and game design done.
Money?
I don't have resources to pay someone for this project sadly, 3000 eur went to the drain due to a hardware schematic scam, i work a full time job but its not enough to be able to pay someone now that i have a wife. Since i can't promise anything, treat it as a non paid project (obviously is not gonna be, but i dont want to put false promises out there)
Did you have other collaborators already? What happened to them?
Right now we are two persons in the project, one is dedicated to it fully and the other helps sparingly with server stuff. We had another person with us but this person asked for money or revenue share or many things that didnt make sense specially for the work this person was doing. I don't want a slave and neither a person that doesnt do anything and ride the wave, i just want to work side by side with another person to make the project happens and if we are lucky to benefit from it based on the work we do.
AI Usage?
This project uses AI as a tool not as a final thing thats why im searching someone. I myself have 12 years of experience as a C# programmer without AI and i use it mostly to speed up the progress in terms of code, i can do a bit of 3D art, i know how to rig manually and many stuff like that without the need of AI, also the hardware prototype is soldered by me, this is my way of showing that i use ai as a tool.
Screenshots?
Here are some photos of the custom engine, hardware protototype, and some tests i did for the pixel stuff 3D to Pixel:
