About the project
HeavenX is a first person deck building arena shooter with immersive sim elements, set in an alternate history of China in the 1990's. You play a low-level employee at a megacorp that has built a digital afterlife, and your job is clearing anomalies out of it. A large part of the game is a fully functional ingame desktop operating system through which the narrative unfolds.
What we need
A cohesive icon set for the in game operating system and its applications. Late 90s business OS iconography. Think chunky, functional, slightly ugly. Ideally we are looking for a single artist with bandwidth to tackle the entire set in bulk, but we are open to working with anyone who shows aptitude for aesthetics that match the time period. (Example of the look we are going for: https://win98icons.alexmeub.com/)
The scope is roughly ~50 icons of varying sizes (And some repeats). We will provide exact written specs and a full deliverable list with descriptions / examples for every icon requested before the work starts.
- Desktop icons — 48×48 hero icons for the applications
- Taskbar / status icons — 16×32 miniature versions of the desktop icons
- In app icons/buttons — 16×32 misc graphics for buttons, file labels, etc.
- A few miscellaneous unrelated assets (banners/etc) that crop up.
Deliverables
- PNG + Layered .PSD source files (Asperite OK but not prefered)
- Full copyright assignment for commercial game use, marketing, and derivatives. We will provide a simple contract.
This is a paid gig. Ideally we are looking to settle the entire set in bulk, but are open to paying on a per-asset basis if needed.
