So I cant work on my game called hidden until i get this Problem fixed until then i will make a anime fighting game 2d pixel art and i need pixel artist to make all my sprites and tiles and bg cuz im horrible at pixel art and yeah
what’s the rate? i do stuff like this semi-professionally and can show my portfolio if you want. animation is extra depending on complexity, but it’s apparently pretty affordable
LMAO, that’s what i get for replying to postings when sleep-deprived. just a heads up, you may need to look on specific forums for volunteers!
also, as someone who’s made multiple games & is in uni for this, i’ll say- try to drop the idea of needing all your assets done before you start other work on the game. having your central gameplay components (attacks, movement, upgrades as you say you’re making a metroidvania, maps, et cetera) in place before you work on final assets is what i’d recommend- or working on assets in tandem with the programming. you’re going to end up needing more/less/something completely different from what you’ve planned, especially as this seems to be your first game.
there are also a lot of resources you can use for placeholders on this forum and others! (i also have a set of files made for a 2d fighting game i can send on for placeholders if you need).
that said, while i can’t afford to do much for free rn (gotta eat unfortunately) i’d be down to give pointers/critique as needed! i can also help you work on your pixel art, because that’s one of my specialties in design and asset creation. it’s really fun, and i’d recommend learning to do it on your own!
