Unreal dev seeking artist - significant otter games

Hi there, my name’s Nick, I’ve been using Unreal for about 15 months now with a focus on programming. I released a game on steam after my first 6 months - Tower Collapse - and recently made a proof of concept / short demo of another game - BirdMafia Zero - available on my itch profile. Prior to this I used to make custom counterstrike minigame maps for a few years so I’m not totally new to ‘game dev’ as such.

I’m looking for one person to pair up with and cover the art.

1. What can I do?

Project management, initial concept / idea, programming, game design and game loop, level design, basic 2D and 3D art assets including UI, as well as basic rigging and animation. I can do almost anything at least at a basic level.

2. What would I like to focus on?

Programming, game design and game loop, maybe level design and initial concept too, but happy to share these

3. What can't I do?

Advanced 2D and 3D art and assets. My rigging and animation isn’t that great either. Help with getting your assets and materials into Unreal would be great and let me focus on my stuff. Also sound and music, normally I just find these online

4. What don't I care about - i.e. other people can have "full reign" over?

Pretty much all the art, including art direction and style. I can offer my own thoughts but I don’t want to step on any toes. I’ve worked in good groups and bad groups in the past so I know what it’s like.

5. What is my time commitment to this project?

About 1 or 2 hours per day on average, but depends on my work and life schedule. I can do more on the weekends. I live in an Australian timezone (GMT+10) so I would prefer chatting and planning things over discord messages / written messages, instead of having voice calls all the time.

6. What kind of games do I like? What genres or game types do I enjoy playing or working on, or would like to try making?

Happy with almost anything. I have some I would lean towards (puzzle, action, FPS) if it were up to me.

Anyway if you’re interested in working together, let me know! Keen to find someone like minded and enjoy making something together

Hi I am a 2D artist i'd be interested in working with you if you'd like! I really enjoy collaborative work:]

Hey Ary I ended up going with someone else, hope that's ok. Good luck for the jam!

I’ll throw my name in here in case you’re still looking for a partner, I’m Jared, I’m an 2d concept artist and 3D artist (characters and environments). I currently work professionally in the animation industry and use unreal in my work pipeline so I’m pretty familiar to it! I’d love to collaborate on a project together, since coding is definitely my weakness (like you I can do most of the other parts of the pipeline at a basic level). Honestly sounds like we’d be a pretty good team together so hit me up if you’re interested!
