Discuss Elfwood News Item: Game designer looking for artists, Discussions


	By Monica1978 at Sun Dec 30 16:13:35 2007 I've been a game designer in one form or another for over 30 years. Since July, I've been creating a fantasy role-playing strategy game called "To Be King" using the Vassal engine. This is a creation that I've been developing - and enjoying with a small core of friends - for about 15 years (previously as various board game versions). I've always wanted to make an online version of it. Now, with the discovery of the Vassal engine, my dream game may be realized. I've worked on the game every day since July and I've just recently finished a beta version that's fully operational with a complete rule book. The problem is, most of the art in the game is stuff I've downloaded from here and there off the Internet. My intention was to use the downloaded art as a place holder to get a working version to play among a private group of friends to work out the dings and scratches and then turn my attention towards finding some artists who could help me fill the game with original art so that I could eventually develop a free public release. I am currently working with one other person who, like me, can manipulate graphics to some extent but neither one of us is an artist and we really could use some help. Without original art, the game may never be released publicly. I will gladly give any artists that helps all the mentions and advertizing they would like - in game and/or web site - and will gladly accept any terms and conditions you may have.
