Industry artist— hoping to collab with a solid programmer in Unreal!

I’m Jared N, I work in the animation industry doing 2D concept and illustration as well as being a 3D character and environment artist. Can make game ready characters, weapons, environment, etc. I’ve only dabbled in animation, but I’m confident I can make stuff look good and come together on that front. I have a minor amount of coding experience (made a few basic games/dark souls clones, etc) but overall I’m not that strong at that part of the pipeline. Here’s a link to my portfolio for those interested:

I’m also really interested in the Game Design side of things, enough that my wife and I made a board game together and illustrated it (she’s a professional character designer/illustrator as well). If you partner up with me, there’s a good chance we’ll get some work out of her too, and she’s even better than I am.

I work a full time job, but aside from that, my only hobby is game dev and weightlifting, so I would probably be open to spend a fair bit of time working on this (3-5 hours per day)

I’m open to working on any types of games, but I prefer games where I get to draw crazy weapons and cool characters! In terms of games I play, I’m a sucker for top down ARPG mechanics (Diablo or league) and survival crafting games!! I’m open to 2D or 3D pipeline, but definitely leaning more heavily on the 3D side, since even though I’m good at 2D art, I kinda hate doing it :)

I would prefer to do something reallllllyyyyy small in scope and then make it super polished, since I’m a firm believer in gameplay/game feel first and foremost before additional content.

Hey, we’re a team of four right now. Our artist unfortunately had to leave our team today due to unforeseen family matters… So if you still haven’t found a team we’d really like to have you! We’re flexible and value working around our skillsets so we each get to work on what we want to for the jam.

We’re three kinda generalist hobby solo devs (so more programming inclined than art) together with a music guy.

However we’re working in Godot as a heads up depending on how much of dealbreaker that is for you. I personally really resonate with the sentiment of wanting to build a small very polished game over something larger though, so you’re in good hands there ;)

Hit me up on Discord @SQLPY if you’re interested
