Harvest Moon Game - Artist Needed -

[AIDSMcGuff]

I've been working on a harvest moon game for a while now, and I had made plans with an artist to do the animations and stuff for it, but I haven't been able to contact him for a while and he hasn't responded to any messages. So I wanted to see if anyone was interested in doing the art. It basically works like harvest moon, there's a tile-based grid for the farmland, and you plant crops, mine ore, raise animals, etc. I've got most the basic game working with the grid system with a dynamic map for each season, etc. There are four seasons, and a regular calendar (with the exception of leap year). I currently have the time/date system implemented and working, the tile map, an inventory system with shop that works (just not implemented), and boundaries. What would I would end up needing would be:

- Player animations (Male&Female? Or one)
- Each tile for each terrain for each season
- Some npc animations
- Map outside of tiles
- Buildings / Insides
- UI
- Plant animations (Growing, etc.) / Stumps, Rocks, Weeds, Etc.
- Animals
- Fences, etc.

If anyone is interested, it would be nice to have Windows Live Messenger or Steam or something, but e-mail me or PM me. I do plan on not making this completely shitty, so I'm actually putting work to get this to happen. I'd prefer a more clean art style, but just post some kind of example if interested. I don't have the demo on this computer at the moment, and if you've seen my previous games I have definitely become a better coder than what I was and I'll post the demo soon. I am open to any ideas that are feasible and would improve the game, I do have a write up of most things that I planned on doing that the previous artist made.

Should my original artist get back to me and become interested before any real progress is made with the art, I am going to have him do it, but from what it seems I doubt he will.

I got it sent to me from my other computer, so here is the demo of it. It doesn't seem like much and it still has a long way to go, but all the farmland is made of 50x50 tiles that are dynamically placed. Press tab to show the overlay and it has the date/time system working, it just doesn't switch days yet, but each month is implemented with the correct amount of days (I'm just waiting to finish all that once I get other things done).

Press Q to switch tools and click to use them.

It's a little glitchy because I just quickly put the placeholders in there by rotating the previous sprites

This'll be the last bump, but I've been really bored and still haven't had my original artist come back, and would really like to work on this project. I have just about everything planned out with how it will all work and I really would just like to have the art done so I don't have to replace everything in the end. Anyone interested e-mail me, msn, PM.
