Hi, I know this isn''t exactly the right forum, but since noone reads help wanted... I am looking for a concept artist. I''ve been working on the design for a while, and now that I am putting together the design document, I want illustrations to accompany it. The game is set in distant future, with robots fighting among each other on mountains, hills, etc. The landscape is completely dead, like after the nuclear explosions. You don''t need to be able to use any programs, all u need to do is draw the stuff on paper, scan it, and mail it to me. Of course that could also be a chalange If you are interested please post here for details.

I am not employed in the game industry. I work as a programmer in the internet startup company. Game development I do on the side.

I could start developing a first person shooter, or a huge strategy game, but I simply don''t have the resources to start this project.

However, I know that I have enough resources to work on this project. Since the game is online, I thought about how much money I would have to invest in the server, domain, etc, etc. That, I can pull off. After this project is complete I will hopefully have enough resources to move on to something more serious.

Once again, I can tell you and take responsibility for my words, for startups in any industry, you have to look at your resources and see what you can pull off. It''s usually better to do something small yet new, with a twist that you have the resources to finish, instead of doing something big, but with almost no chance of finishing it.

What genre exactly are you talking about?
A beat`em up (like One Must Fall) or action, or strategy?
I´d just like to know.

Action. Basically robots shooting each other. Weapons will be based on converting energy(lightning, fireball, plasmaball, etc). The view is overhead, but everything will be done in true 3D(kinda like GTA engine).
