Looking for interested artist (or coder)...
« on: April 14, 2009, 04:04:58 AM »
I'm thinking of doing some new coding for the -classic- Amiga... (Why?  Why not!)  Coding will most likely be done in Blitz Basic or C (probably Blitz for first go around).   I've developed software for various hardware, but never the Amiga.    This will be purely for entertainment/hobby, and probably a very part-time venture...

Here is my major dilemma..  I suck at the artwork, I can code (20+ years experience) but drawing from scratch is not my thing.  So, any artists out there interested in helping out on some possible projects?  No money for your work, but you'll get your name mentioned!  :-D

If interested drop me a PM...

Thanks
Brian  

PS If your a coder interested in helping also feel free to drop me a line...

Good guestions, maybe I should elaborate a bit more on my original post...

I'm specifically looking for 2D artists, an "artist for hire" type but in this case for no money.   :-)  You would receive credit for your work of course, and if in the future something were to be pay-ware you would receive royalties.  I would provide the requirements (size, color depth, etc.) and concept and/or rough mock-ups.  They would provide the creativity and art skills...   Artwork would consist of sprites, backdrops, etc.  For Amiga work the format would be IFF.

As for milestones... Sometime, someday, I might release something.  :-P     To be honest, this is just a pet project and with recent twin babies it's kind of low on the list.

I'm mainly looking to establish some contacts for future projects..   I develop (well manage developers now) business apps for a living, but in my spare time I enjoy writing little games for computers and PDAs.   I'm  actively working on my iPhone development skills, but the Amiga is a fun diversion.  But developing for either one I run into the same issue, "art skills" and my lack their of.   So I'm hoping the contacts I make on this forum may be useful for other projects on other hardware too.

As I said earlier, if you would be interested drop me a PM...

Thanks!
