Absolution

After a long hiatus, I've been bitten by the game-making bug again. I've spent the last year tinkering with the systems for a new project I've called 'Absolution.' Title screen below:



The game is still in its early stages, just starting to become playable. I've been using VX placeholders just to have something, but I'd like to commission some custom walking and fighting sprites for several characters.

What I need

Two 32x32 pixel sprites with the following poses:
-Walking (8 directions)
-Attacking
-Getting hit
-Fallen

Two 32x32 pixel sprites with the following poses:
-Walking (4 directions)

At least one static enemy sprite.

Sprite for a crashed plane.

This is the minimum I would need for playability, but I have other assorted requests I could include if you're up to it. Message me and I can provide more details on these sprites.


What I'm offering

This is paid work. I don't have a lot of money, but I appreciate quality and this project is important to me. Message me and we can negotiate a fair price.


A little bit about the game

Absolution is a survival roguelike, taking place in an island off Cuba’s coast in the 1950’s. The protagonist, a Chicago detective named David Harris, crash-lands on the island on the way to bring his own brother to justice. He must scrape together food, shelter, and equipment to make the ascent from a beach to reach a volcano’s peak.

The story is told gradually as the David climbs through each environment. It's almost impossible to win in a single run, but death is part of the game -- one piece of equipment can be passed to the next attempt along with accrued skills and experience. With randomly generated terrain, enemies and bounty, each run is a fresh challenge.

Please send me a message with any questions or to express your interest. I know we have great artists in this community and I would be honored to work with one of you.

This project looks extremely interesting to me. I would have loved to help, but I've got my hands full on another project. I just wanted to drop a line and say good luck! I hope someone answers your call.

Even though its set in the 50s, it makes me think of Arkham Horror, haha.
I appreciate it! Yeah, it's got a vibe like that. Hope to have a game page up for it soon.
Sounds interesting, considering that what you're asking for isn't too difficult to do (32x32 sprites is pretty small).

I'm tempted but I'd need more information on the style you're going for. Screenshots of the areas, if possible, would also be useful as reference.
You can send me a pm.
Thanks for your interest, Avee. I received an offer this morning so I'm set for now, but I hope we'll get a chance to work together at some point.
