Hello everyone,

I'm HxC_Hermit, an indie game developer deeply passionate about creating unique gaming experiences. I'm currently working on Urban Harvest, an ambitious project blending tactical combat, farming, and base-building in a near-future dystopian city transformed by a mysterious event known as "The Bloom."

About the Project:

Urban Harvest invites players into the shoes of Alex, a former botanist and survivalist. Sent by a caravan of survivors, Alex must uncover the secrets behind "The Bloom," gather crucial resources, build and defend a base, and face off against mutated creatures. The game promises a rich narrative, engaging gameplay mechanics, and vibrant pixel art environments.

Current Progress:

I’ve been focusing heavily on developing the story and attempting to learn pixel art to create placeholder assets before I was going to dive into the coding. Check out my blog to see my progress so far :D

What I'm Looking For:

I'm seeking a talented and passionate pixel artist to join the team and help bring Urban Harvest to life. Here’s what I need:

  • Assets Needed: Character sprites, environmental tiles (grass, flowers, trees, etc.), UI elements, and possibly animations.
  • Commitment: Regular collaboration and communication. Ideally, someone who is dedicated to the project and has the time to contribute meaningfully.

What I Offer:

As an indie project, I currently cannot offer upfront payment. However, I am committed to a fair profit-sharing model:

  • Profit Sharing: All profits will be split down the middle. If we bring in another team member, profits will be split evenly among us.
  • Crowdfunding: We aim to launch a crowdfunding campaign to secure funds for development, and any funds raised will be split according to our agreement.
  • Partnership: This is a partnership, not just a one-time gig. You’ll be a core part of the development team with a significant role in shaping the game's visual identity.
  • Rights to Artwork: No matter the future direction of our project, even if we form a company, the rights to your artwork will always remain yours. This ensures that you retain ownership and control over your creations.

Why Join Us?

  • Creative Freedom: Bring your artistic vision to life in a collaborative environment.
  • Community and Feedback: Be part of a supportive community where your input is valued.
  • Growth and Experience: Gain experience and grow your portfolio with a promising indie project.

Next Steps:

I have more of the story developed and can share it if you’re interested and would like to discuss further. If you're excited about this opportunity and ready to join me on this journey, please reach out! Share your portfolio, previous work, and a bit about yourself. Let’s create something amazing together.

You can contact me via PM or reply to this thread.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

:D
