I am seeking a talented video creator who can help create stunning cinematic movies for the upcoming browser MMORPG Orizaya: Sisters of the Stars. Early gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZGjcLdfHPs ----- ABOUT ME OG product designer and software engineer who has worked in the San Francisco tech scene for the last 15 years. Design portfolio: dribbble.com/bennyschmidt GitHub: github.com/bennyschmidt I have worked with brands such as Apple, Nike, DocuSign, Red Bull, and have contributed in open source to the likes of Brave, Odysee, Microsoft, Facebook (React), Mozilla, LlamaIndex, and more. ----- ABOUT THE PROJECT Lore: https://www.youtube.com/@orizaya/posts Videos: https://www.youtube.com/@orizaya/videos Orizaya is an ambitious browser-based MMORPG set in a fictional, magical world in the Pleiades star system. The overall look/feel is that of a AAA themepark MMO (Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2) with WASD and mouse controls, animation canceling, low poly style, persistent world, raid & dungeon finders, and a battlegrounds queue with structured PvP across 3 different maps. Though I have worked professionally on social games in my early career at companies like Facebook, FlipTrack, and Francis Ford Coppola Presents, and have released 2 offline RPGs on the App Store as a solo dev (Meteora and Blighted Souls, respectively), Orizaya is my first attempt at a highly ambitious MMO game that I'd like to involve other creators with. The game is playable today, though there is still a lot to be done. Because it runs in a browser, I created a custom engine in Three.js (react-three-fiber) and am building pretty much everything in both the client and server from scratch, down to the physics. I've even created a bespoke Level Editing software to assist in building the world. A lot of the lore is written or planned, and I'm able to accomplish a lot of the music, sound effects, and 2D/3D art myself through open source (Pixabay, Sketchfab) and modern AI tooling (Tripo, Vidu). One area I am falling short, however, is video content. Take a look at some of the videos I've posted to the YouTube channel (it's early, low risk): https://www.youtube.com/@orizaya/videos I'd like someone to take over this role of video content creation and do it a lot better than I can. I'd love to move away from this "AI look" and have awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping cinematics like those you'd expect from a AAA title. I don't care whether or not this person uses AI in their work - I may even slightly encourage it. But I am open to other styles (e.g. the way Guild Wars 2 does storytelling with imagery). The aesthetic of Orizaya is "Victorian Spacepunk" - a mix between high fantasy / Victorian steampunk like you'd find in Final Fantasy or ArcheAge and dark sci-fi that you'd find in films like Dune. ----- ABOUT THE JOB This is an unpaid, volunteer-only role. You will be credited on the title screen on orizaya.com for as long as the art is in use (and for a minimum of 4 years, even if I only use it for 1 day).

Hey, I am Tar van Krieken and I am working on a simple 2d game with a friend of mine. Neither of us are particularly good at graphics however, so we are looking for someone that can create some 2d textures for us and help with the style and theming of the game. We will require sprite animations for entities that walk around and do some other things, as well as textures for blocks and other things in the world. None of the graphics have been done, so it would be entirely up to you. I don't want to give away too much information about the game yet. It is not really a secret, but I would rather not have it on a public forum before we can finish it anyhow. It is roughly a 2d puzzle game similar to lemmings. I don't mind whether it has a pixelated style or not, but I have been working on some things to give the game a 3d feel despite being 2d, so it will have to fit that. Here is a video of some tests I have been doing: https://puu.sh/Bi2bS/e442b24781.mp4 . It makes use of normal maps to create semi 3d lighting, together with shadows that I have been working on: https://github.com/TarVK/pixi-shadows . I can explain how normal maps work if you are interesting in collaborating and don't know this yourself yet. Some of my other work can be found here: https://github.com/TarVK http://ludumdare.com/compo/author/thegunmaster/ As can be understood from this being in the 'unpaid' section, I am not willing to pay anything for the work. After the game is done we will have to decide where to publish it however, so if it turns out we make any money off of it, these profits will be shared of course. But that is a rather unlikely scenario, it will probably end up somewhere for free. Let me know if you are interested in working together, please link me some of your work, and then maybe we can get in touch

Hello! (Note: helpers are all volunteers. There is no payment yet since I don't earn any money myself with the game.) I am working on a 2D MOBA and searching someone to help me with the Pixel art! The game is still in development and soon I will have fixed the major problems so I can start with introducing new things. I need help in following sections: Making a game cover / Main screen Background of the map, ground and walls Character models and skill particles (Characters are divided into 3 parts: Body, front arm and weapon to make them be dynamic) If you have anything else to offer, feel free! I need every help I can get! If you are interested, contact me either in this post or private here: kingdanius.leagueofpixels@gmail.com Also you can play the game and catch a first impression of it -> here on this site <-
