At first I was like: Nice.

Then I saw the required black belt and thought, this is just stupid and childish.
Hampa, bought that yacht yet?

Neither of those are skilled enough on both 2D and 3D. Gorman is the only one I know that's as good as me on this community.

I would prefer someone that knows about the game. That is why I put the blackbelt restriction in there.

Belt doesn't have anything to do with how much you know about the game. I can play a game for years without really knowing what I'm doing or really care what the crap the point of the game is.

En månadslön skulle vara trevlig att se, och även eventuell anställningsperiod.

Or how about people don't whinge about a minor thing like a belt requirement & apply if they want the position?

Bickering about it isn't going to change anything.

It depends on how good you are and is up to negotiation.

You basically need to see our design of the art for the game? Character and props? Right?
And where the knowledge of 3D programs comes into this story? What exactly u need to know from 3D programs? Modeling, mapping, animation - the whole deal?
Also knowing Adobe Flash may mean: knowing to use it and animate in it, but also it may mean: knowing ActionScript. Do you need to know both?

Good questions!

Yes, let's assume you where the graphics artist for the game and you where given the wireframe version that you see in the screenshot. So fill in the boxes with a appropriate texture, perhaps make a parallax background, a sky and some particles that look like a liquid. What font would you choose for a game like this? I just picked "Arial" because it was the default choice in my editor. Is the game going to look like it is draw in water colors, hand drawn, doodle, 3d rendered, abstract, vector graphics or some other style.

Yes, so to summarize. Come up with a look for the game without worrying about the implementation of it.

We mostly use 3D programs for simpler stuff like modeling and rendering. An example of that would be the ToriShop icons which needs an update.

I don't think we ever used 3D programs for animation and rigging.

For flash you just need to be familiar with it so you can open an .fla file and change stuff as a graphics artist.

Would not be interested in a part time job for this, but if you posted a list of things you want to get done (with or without bountys attached to them) then I am sure a lot of people would pitch in. Nabi builds social communities right? Why not leverage that a bit more :]


By the way, you should do things like this;

Then you just need to recolour (maybe have Av do some magic to make it apply the colours procedurally using colors.txt?) to get the right colour for the item.
That way if you ever need to update the graphics then you just swap out a handful of files instead of hundreds.

We used to have a set of templates sorta like that, but they got deleted at some point before Hunter & Static were added (thus the different icons).
