Hi! I’m a solo developer working on a 2D strategy/management game in Godot called Time Distortionists. Core gameplay and UI systems are already functional, including the main timeline interface.
The game is built around exploring and manipulating a timeline from outside of time, using portals to view small scenes from different eras. The tone is sci-fi/temporal, with an emphasis on clarity, atmosphere, and readable UI.
I’m currently exploring possibilities for bringing on a 2D artist (including pixel art) to help establish the game’s long-term visual identity.

Current UI examples (for context only)
Attached to this post are prototype screens showing the general layout, diamond portal nodes, and the sci-fi/temporal vibe. All art is placeholder and has the potential to be replaced: this is just to give a sense of scale and direction.
---
What I’m looking for (exploratory stage):
- Pixel art with a clean, readable style
- Small scene illustrations (e.g., 256×256 "site" images scaled down to 128×128 viewed through portal frames)
- UI elements (icons, portal frames, visual motifs, simple shapes)
- Potential future work:
- Background/environment art for the Moment View and Location View
- Timeline backgrounds
- Agent/character portraits
- Visuals for base facilities (once style is established)
- Experience delivering game-ready PNGs or spritesheets (preferred)
---
Style direction (current phase):
The UI layout is already implemented, supported by temporary art created during prototyping. The final aesthetic is still flexible: I’m looking for an artist who can help define a cohesive style across eras, UI layers, and portal scenes.
---
Scope (exploratory, not locked in):
The full asset list is still being developed.
I’d like to start with a small paid test asset (e.g., a 128×128 site illustration) to confirm stylistic fit.
If we both feel good about the collaboration, we can outline the broader asset needs together.

Budget:
Open to hourly or per-asset rates depending on your workflow.

To apply, please include:
- Portfolio link
- Rates (hourly or per-asset)
- Availability
- Any relevant experience with sci-fi, strategy, or UI-heavy games

Thanks for reading: I’m excited to connect with artists and explore possibilities for a long-term collaboration.
