Only one problem: I absolutely and desperately need a sprite artist. There are ten characters but of course I will need a few poses and expressions for each.
I am willing to pay a relatively small amount ($5 per character? I'm just an unemployed high school girl so I can't pay much). In return you will get your name in the game's credits and links to alpha/beta copies of the game when they are ready to be released.
Also, if this bit of information is important to you: The game WILL be freeware. I don't plan on making any money off of it. Artists will be paid out of my own pocket.
I have concept drawings of what I want the characters to look like. I have color reference sheets and height reference as well, so you should have no trouble with figuring out how they should look.
If you're willing or you know someone who could be willing, please reply below.
Thanks!
A brief overview of the game:
You play as the new guard to the castle of Queen Kimiko Nishihime. His default name is Takahiro, though you are allowed to type in any name you want.
Takahiro walks into the castle, his new home for guard duty. He then encounters energetic Princess Utako and prim Princess Aya who give him a tour of the castle. He meets the other three princesses: timid Shizuka, perfectionistic Hinata, and kind-hearted Mai.
The Queen comes to find him and show him where he will be living with two other guards: Eccentric Ryouta Mizushima and straight man Daichi Hisakawa. After finding out that the royalty and guards will be stargazing that night, he decides to accompany one of the princesses. Which one? That's up to the reader.
As his time in the castle goes on, Takahiro finds himself making more and more decisions affecting his relationships with the princesses. Eventually, he will end up at a Christmas party with the girl he is most interested in and a relationship blossoms from there. Takahiro finds himself in more situations trying to keep the relationship stable. Will it be a fairy tale ending, or a cruel reality?
EDIT: I have found an artist and this thread is no longer relevant. Sorry
