Hi everyone, I'm the Project Lead and Lead Programmer for HowlJerk Games. I'm at the point where my technology and tools are stable and ready for game content. I have a very fresh game design that I believe to be very original and a perfect fit for the iPhone. I'm in need for a pixel artist to assist me in this project to establish a cutesy-cartoon art style and to create art assets for the game. There might be an artist or two that you will have to work with. So, to make it clear, this is not a paid position. All of the developers that are included in this project are in it for the love of creating games and a great resume boost. I plan on getting this game to the app store, so there will be possible profit from this, if the game is to turn out how I hope. Also, I've architected the engine to be multi-platform, so we could be possibly targeting more platforms than just the iPhone. But our main objective is for iPhone release. If you want to know more about me, please go to http://howljerk.com. It includes my bio, my 3D game project (which I was Project Lead for), my resume, and any Project HowlJerk updates that are needed to be made. If you are interested, please contact me from any feasible way you see fit, from the site I just posted. If you have any questions, about the game design in particular, I'll be happy to share in a more private matter. Thank you very much for your time guys, I look forward to hearing from some pixel artists!  -Michael Romero |

Please read the rules of this board.
There are only four of them, and you basically broke them all (okay, more like violated 2 and molested another one).

You're right, I apologize. Perhaps I get a new member reprieve? Well in any case, do as you see fit with the topic. And to Melly, yeah the relation is there. |

Hey, Michael - I moved the thread to the Fun Collabs sub-board. If at any point you want to turn this into a paid hunt, let me know, and I'll move it back.

I  at all the people who offer unpaid positions as if it is some amazing opportunity to boost their resume. Good luck finding someone reputable! You're gonna need it. |

Many indie developers don't have the expenses to hire artists. All I can offer is the potential for them to be part of a cool game developing experience that CAN boost their resume. Thanks for the credible input. |

I find that any portfolio building work when starting out is good. I forsee Dan & I taking on unpaid projects in the future but only to a certain extent. The person should get something out of it though, besides experience, but that's in the interests of the employer, as it where!
I suppose accreditation would be the main thing and a good referral! Anyway, best of luck!

Hi Micheal, your father is like the coolest dude ever in the industry :] I had the opportunity to chat a bit with him back then about two of my favorites games ever, Anachronox and Quake. Wasn't you working on Slipgate Ironworks btw? Best luck with your project, I'd give an hand but I'm terribly busy starting my own company atm  Don't mind people being rough, they're usually like that when someone arrives offering unpaid jobs as his first post but this community is the best and more friendly you can find believe me oh, If you only need pixel artists try to post also on pixeljoint or some other pixel art related community too |

The artist should definitely get more than just experience from the product. I plan on an app store release, so there's a good chance for money to be made. If there's money made from the project, the exact details will disclosed to the artists that are interested. I'm just not making any promises. It really just comes down to one thing; are the other developers finishers? I've been getting some solid pixel artist applicants. I'll also take a look at "pixeljoint". Thanks for the kind words, you two. Btw, Anachronox is awesome . And yes, I was a part of Slipgate Ironworks. |

People are just skeptical of unpaid jobs from people who's work they're unfamiliar with. This: It really just comes down to one thing; are the other developers finishers?
...is also what the artists are wondering about you! So it's a bit of risk on both sides. But also check out Way of the Pixel if you're looking for artists. They have an unpaid jobs forum: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?PHPSESSID=b0956381bcd2d788ace22c8dc893a241&board=6.0I think I'll change the name of this board to "Unpaid Collaborations" to make it more explicit. |
