We (info about us at the end) recently started work on a very original concept for an online game. For now, I'm handling the graphics myself, but it's not really my area of expertise. I would much prefer to only have to focus on programming and have someone to help with the graphical side of things.
I recently made a WIP post of the project: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFQXLS5W/
The main premise of the game is that the environments that players go through are pretty much exclusively player built. You start in a lobby, where you can meet other player before you embark on your journey, then you go through the player built dungeons. If you encounter a part that wasn't built yet, you can make it yourself, for all future players to experience. The player might be rewarded for making a particularly hard dungeon, maybe order of the dungeons will get scrambled, or a dunegon might be removed if enough players downvote it. A very good way to describe the play fell would be a 3d mario maker in a dwarven environment with a bit of Minecraft'y feeling thrown in.
The scope might expand in the future if it goes well, but for now I would want an artist to help with: the beginning mountain scene / entrance to the dungeon (you can see it in the video), the dwarf character and any of the tools that he might be using (the character is in the video as well), and all of the building blocks that players can use in the editor, like traps, floor tiles, walls, torches. It would be a huge bonus if you know basics of graphical design as well, since I'm going to start making a website with trailers and concepts soon.
A big advantage of this concept is that the development steps are very well encapsulated. Just as the first version of Minecraft could be made in a week or so, I plan to release the first version, with obviously very limited level editor, but fully working, next month or so.
