Our game Healing Process: Tokyo has been greenlit and we hope to sell it in Winter this year, if possible.

Our previous pixel artist / animator has left our team, due to not being able to deal with the workload. This means we are in need of a pixel animator to deal with the animation of monsters and players (side scrolling style). Obviously this is a great chance to have a role in a game released on Steam.


We also need one animation of the main character running in not 4, not 8, but 16 directions! This may seem strange, but it's necessary.


Here's one of the levels I have designed for the game (Imagine Final Fantasy 7/8/9 style roaming):


If you are interested in this role, please E-mail me at [email protected] with your animation portfolio, or PM me here. We will talk business.

Pretty strange! It looks like the thing you really want a 3D character if you need more than 8 directions. Why is it necessary?

Sorry for spamming this topic, good luck finding someone.

Look at the level above. It's pixel art. Now imagine you are moving around it with a pixel art character in the style of Final Fantasy 8 with a controller... if the main character only runs in 8 directions, that won't look good will it? Imagine you're running at a 60 degree angle but the animation is for right, or down-right. It wouldn't look good at all. We need it to be more detailed. It's only for the main character... so I don't think it warrants making the whole game in 3D when we want to make a pixel art game.

This way allows me not to worry about how I design the levels (so I don't have to think 'oh does this road look good when he's running at a 22.5 degree angle? (up-right)). I can make roads that go basically any angle and our character will be able to run that way without looking out of place.

Basically what you're saying is 'why are you trying to do something that's not been done before?'.

Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't Final Fantasy 8 use the D-pad for control? Therefor no more that 8 directions.
