Jason "T2KFreeker" Greene designed a horizontal space shooter back in 2006 with the intentions of having it developed and released for the Atari Jaguar. The project fell through because of... well, let's just say... "colorful" people in the Jaguar scene. The original composer, Philip, had composed two other soundtracks for projects that died, and this was the third and final straw for him. Skip forward to 2011... the project laid dormant for years... until Jason discovered that I'd be willing to take it on as a production for the PC Engine. The project was then reborn.
The original composer doesn't want his soundtracks used for this production, so we are in need of a composer who can bring the same kind of energy and punch to the music. As for artwork... there are only sketches drawn by Jason, no existing pixel art at all. So the pixel art is a from-scratch deal.
Although I am posting this in Unpaid Work, I am willing to offer profit share for this, and in generous amount as well. This
will be sold on physical CDROM, and the hardware it runs on already has a very loyal fanbase.
We have a working prototype of the game engine in its early form. I have uploaded a few Youtube videos onto our channel here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/EponasoftThe game is called Metro Blaster. I am unsure as to where the name comes from, or its significance. You can hear the unorthodox style of music that was originally composed for the game in these prototype videos, and the artwork that is being used is just placeholder art I obtained from opengameart.org.
