Thank you! :)

Hello, I'm interested in joining the team as either an artist or a designer!  You can take a look at my portfolio here.  I sent you a friend request on Discord (my username is z3phurr)!

I have done a little bit of pixel art, but it is not my specialty.

[CLOSED FOR NOW]

Hello!  I'm currently studying game design, art, and UX, and I'm looking to expand my skills as a 2D/3D artist/animator in a project.  My skills lie mostly in character and environmental art, but I'm willing to try new things.  I've worked in 2D on multiple team projects, as well as plenty of personal efforts.  I am much more of a beginner at 3D, but I'd love an opportunity to practice!

Here is some of my work:

You can find many more examples of my skills at www.zayden1.com.

I'm looking for a project that is more than just a hobby; I would like to work with a team that has long-term goals, such as releasing your game here on Itch, crowdfunding, etc.  Paid/revshare is always a plus, but I'm willing to work for free to gain experience.  My time is limited at the moment; however, I should be able to work more over the summer.  I'm especially interested in working on action-adventure, RPG, and fantasy-style games, but I'm willing to work on a variety of projects so long as they are not NSFW/discriminatory/heavy gore.

If you're interested, please reply to this post with a brief synopsis of your project, including the genre and a general description of what you'll be looking for from me.  You can also email me at zayden.e.joyner@gmail.com, or contact me on Discord at #Zayden#8189.  If contacting me on Discord, please drop a reply here also telling me your username.  I will not accept your request otherwise.

I look forward to working with you!

Hi there, your project sounds really cool!  I'm wondering, what style of art do you require?  I.e., pixel art like the games you mentioned, 3D, high-res, etc.?

Great demo!  I love the moments in the levels when the wind starts blowing, its the best feeling.  Excited for the full release!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Huh, I didn't know that bug existed... I'll look into it.  Glad you still enjoyed the one side!

Thanks!

Thanks :)

Thanks!

Thanks!  Yeah, I'll definitely do some more research on polishing the character controls.  Appreciate the feedback!

Nice!  I destroyed the planet >:D

Rated a few minutes ago, your game's cool!  Here's mine if you get the chance: https://itch.io/jam/geojam-2022/rate/1591632
Thanks!

Love the graphics!

This is honestly amazing, I had a lot of fun.  Great job with the geometric theme, too!

Nice!  I enjoyed the pool of buffs and debuffs, they were interesting to discover.

Nice game!  I love the effects.  I would suggest potentially making the side you have selected slightly more obvious as I was confused at first.  Just my opinion though, and I enjoyed playing!

Nice, love the music!

Thanks!

Thanks for playing!  I didn't notice that bug, I'll look into it.

Nice idea, it fits the theme really well.  The graphics also look fantastic.  I found the enemy movement to be a bit sudden - I never knew when I was about to be hit, so I couldn't move out of the way without memorizing the timing.  Other than that though, it was really fun!

Nice!  I like the sound effects and particles, they're a nice touch.

Tight level design!  I did find a bit of a shortcut in the last level where if you get the jump just right, you can get up to the floating red blocks from the first red hurdle (idk if that made sense).  Not sure if this was intended or not, but the level was a fun challenge either way.  Good job!

Also the slime is adorable :)

I like the level design a lot, the puzzles were fun to solve!

Thanks :)

Thank you!

Thanks!  Yeah the checkpoints gave me some trouble, I'll look into it if I keep working on it.  An endless mode is a cool idea!

Oh a story is a cool idea, I'll think about it.  Thanks!!

Love the art and the music!  Creative interpretation of the theme.  I had fun :)

I really enjoyed playing!  I like the feel of the game, it's almost like I'm playing through a folktale.  Squares reign >:)

Nice art, and I like the concept!

Great game!  I really enjoyed the gameplay of rotating, and getting the achievements is fun.  Good job on the music as well, and the title screen looks cool!

Thanks!!  That's a good idea, to make each side have different abilities and such.  Glad you enjoyed playing!

Thanks for playing!  I'll keep your feedback in mind if I keep working on it.

Nice interpretation of the theme!

I really like the music :)
