Lurania Kingdom - Landscape Artist

[halichu]

I haven't mentioned much about my game to the public yet, but we are in need of a landscape artist. We had found an artist on ConceptArt, but unfortunately he has not been responding to our emails for the past 2-3 months now. We were talking to a potential candidate, but haven't heard from them in over a week so we are keeping our options open for now.

Lurania Kingdom

We are an in development RPG/simulation browser-based game. We have a small team of six people: four artists, one admin, and then me, the game owner. We have been in development for about half a year now and plan to release the game late this year or early next year. We do not want to release a definite month to the public (we are keeping that within staff as an ultimate goal). We focus heavily on scientific breeding and genderless pets meaning you can breed any specie with any other specie. There will be genetic mutations and markings that are passed to the offspring who will have two stages (baby and adult). Once fully grown, your new guardian will be available to hire into your adventure party from your habitat to explore the surrounding regions and battle.

This posting isn't meant to provide a lot of spoilers for the game as that will be detailed in a later post when we get more of the art completed. It is being developed with Python and AngularJS. Below, you will see a small list of our main features:

• Breeding - Once adults, your guardians can be bred together if the relationship status meets the requirements. Breeding two species together will require resources and scientific knowledge meaning you will have to visit the local Scientist to make this happen.
• Adventuring - Adult guardians will set out on adventures and quests to gather resources and protect the lands from possessed creatures. Regions range from the plains of the Kingdom to marshlands and deserts.
• Habitats - This is where your guardians relationships will happen (whether that is gaining friendships or creating enemies). All of your guardians will be available in your habitat, but once they are adults, they can be created into parties to set out to adventure the regions beyond the Kingdom.
• Farming - After hours of adventuring, your guardians will need to replenish their hunger which you can do so by fresh crops. Some guardians will prefer crops over other food sources (even specific crops) so this skill is always nice to enhance.
• Fishing - Another food source, you can fish at local lakes, oceans, and ponds for different types of fish. Can you discover all different breeds of fish in the regions? As some guardians prefer certain crops, some guardians will prefer fish.

Job Summary

The role we are seeking is a landscape artist who can produce artwork within the style of the game. We communicate weekly on Slack for notifications and information regarding the game so it will be required for you to check in weekly. However, you can report progress in different ways other than Slack. We use Jira as our tasking software. Each task will allow you to upload concepts and finished art pieces (including PSDs).

Every two weeks, we have sprints that run with specific tasks outlined in those sprints. At the end of each sprint, payments are sent out and any unfinished tasks gets put onto the next sprint. This is an easy way for us to keep track of progress that was made and payment schedules.

Requirements

• Provide concepts along the way to make sure everybody is on the same page of the direction of the composition of the art piece.
• Compile artwork into PSDs that will be delivered upon payment
• Update Jira tasks to keep the status in line of your progress

Artwork Examples
