Artist Wanted, Payment in Empty Promises
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2015 6:22 am
Do you love poverty and hope to never leave it or the filth coated tenement I assume all struggling artists live in?
Do you lay awake at night, tantalized by dreams of splitting the revenue of vaporware?
Do you salivate at the prospect of working with a guy who's never finished a project but promises he really will this time guys, really?
THEN HAVE I GOT A JOB FOR YOU!
I'm a reasonably good writer looking for an artist willing to work for nothing but an even revenue split and pull overtime as a sounding board at 4 AM for an idea I've had kicking around my head going on a while. This idea will bring all the joys of Imperial Chinese Bureaucracy straight to the home computer! For too long, games have focused on exciting things like witchers and Shepards. It's time to buckle down, get our heads out of the clouds, find a real job, and manage the logistics of a single squadron in one of 15 near identical fiefdoms' armies during a hopeless war. This game will also include guaranteed fun like watching some jerk burn down your home because of a two century old argument over whether the Fantasy Lord's Prayer starts with trespasses or debts, trying to sleaze some profit off of the reconstruction of your recently ravaged city, and managing your noble connection's finances. Also, stat raising. It's like a boxing management game, but for questionably ethical pencil pushers.
While I'm not specifically looking for anything but an artist, I'm also not in a position to say no to a musician or someone who actually has coding or project management skills. If you're willing to work with a guy who writes drunk and edits drunker, then you're welcome to join me on what I can only hope will be a beautiful disaster. The only thing I ask is that you have a tolerance for low fantasy and the willingness to have ideas thrown at you at times aardvarks would call inconvenient.
There is, of course, nothing completed save for the mad scrawlings on the papers I've nailed to my walls to prove to everyone I'm not crazy.
Assuming completion, the game's sale price will be 99 cents and there will be a free demo, obviously. Obviously.
So there's my pitch. If you want any clarification, leave a comment. There's a lot of bourbon in the world and it won't drink itself, so it may be a time before I reply.

Unfortunately, I am a writer and nothing else, as my art skills pretty much stopped developing around the age of eight. I wish you luck, though!
