Hello World,
This is my first commissioned request for game art.
We are going to create a new free 2D MMORPG based on manasource technology
(see http://manasource.org/ ).
In case our game is not becoming popular very fast, the art will still be used for
The Mana World (themanaworld.org) or its forks. ;)
The Job:
We are looking for a tileset which is compatible with http://opengameart.org/content/the-mana-world-woodland-indoor-tileset
meaning the color palette and perspective matches.
Some hints on matching the perspective are found here: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Guidelines
The tiles should be multiples of 32x32 pixel each and be aligned on a grid,
so it is easy to use as a tileset in tiled (http://www.mapeditor.org/)
The content of the tileset should match the sparse, rustic, and natural
lifestyle of the woodlands in The Mana World.
Tiles we are looking for on that tileset:
- storage: boxes in different sizes, barrels, chests, crates, bags, sacks
- working and labouring (workbenches that also can be used in the middle of the room, tables, tools)
- more different crafting tools (there's already something smith related,
other topics could be: archery, carpenter, carving)
- 'gardening' and farming stuff such as crop harvesting tools, bags of seeds, wheelbarrow, hand barrow
- results of these crafts such as wood shavings, saw dust
- decoration objects (flowers, images on wall, other carpets
- desk and objects to put on there (e.g. papers, ink pot with quill)
- bookshelves, shelves, boards, cubicles, cupboards, wardrobe and items to put in each
- kitchen, cooking places, cooking tools
- different foods, dishes
- sleeping area (beds already exist, but sleeping bag on ground or such,straw mattress )
These points are only recommendations, feel free to pick only a few of them or think of possibilities on your own.
Reuse of existing art from other projects is welcome (if the license permits and style fits).
Desired licenses: In general we are looking for a free license.
CC-BY-SA would be best. To have compatibility with Mana World dual licensing with GPLv2 would also be welcome.
Payment:
We are offering 80 Euro for a decent tileset. (currently about USD 106) and payment will be through Euro bank transfer (SEPA) or by paypal.
Payment will only be made when the above requirements are met and we're happy with the result.
(The must-have requirement is the art compatibility, not delivering all listed items)
Accepting offer:
When you want to work on this, post in this topic and I will mark it filled.
You will get the first chance to provide the tileset within a reasonable timeframe.
If things aren't clear, feel free to ask questions.
As nobody seems to be interested in it for the last 3 monthes, I'll close this topic.
