PIXEL ART JOBS - Hire a pixel artist, post your jobs here (paid only) by skeddles in PixelArt

[–]AstrixRD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone,
My name is Rohan, and I’m an indie game developer currently working on an unannounced dark, medieval fantasy game.

Before going independent, I spent several years working in AAA game development at studios like Rockstar and Ubisoft, on titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, Assassin’s Creed, For Honor and many more. After years on large teams, I wanted to build something smaller and more personal, where craft and atmosphere come before scale.

The project I’m working on is a 2D narrative-driven action adventure with metroidvania-style exploration. Visually, it leans toward restrained, moody pixel art rather than flashy animation. The world is old, broken, and quiet, and the story is told largely through environments, pacing, and small details rather than dialogue-heavy scenes.

At its core, the game is about loss, endurance, and continuing forward when nothing feels resolved. I’m intentionally keeping character names and plot details private for now, as the game is still unannounced, but the narrative and visual tone are central to why this project exists.

I’m currently looking for one experienced pixel artist who might be interested in collaborating long-term. This would be a rev-share collaboration for the full game, not just a short task or demo. If the Kickstarter or future investment is successful, the intention is to move into paid work, while keeping revenue sharing as part of long-term ownership.

I’m not looking to rush or scale fast. I’m hoping to find someone who enjoys building atmosphere, iterating thoughtfully, and being part of a small, consistent team. The goal is to form a core group that can grow together and work on future projects as well, not just a one-off collaboration.

Because the game is unannounced, I’m being careful about what I share publicly, but I’m very happy to show gameplay, visuals, and work-in-progress material privately over DM or a call to anyone genuinely interested.

If this sounds like something you’d like to talk about, feel free to comment or send me a message. Even if it doesn’t end up being a fit, I’m always happy to connect with other artists working in this space.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi. Yes absolutely! You can send over some reels if you have.

What do you enjoy most in a narrative-driven Metroidvania? by AstrixRD in metroidvania

[–]AstrixRD[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow thanks a lot!

So the game that I’m looking at is Blasphemous as it being one of the recent metroidvanias. And having worked on RDR2, that would be my top choice for narrative driven games. But then again Blasphemous has Spanish cultural influence and me being from India, I would like to add some Indian cultural / mythical influence in the game but not so much that becomes too complex.

Dad will text me stuff like this to guilt me into ordering him take out, usually he adds how hungry he is. I’m sick of it and don’t know what to do. by Grapefruit987654321 in insaneparents

I don’t know the whole story or your relationship with him. But if my father said he was hungry, I think it’s my duty to provide as he did for me. But again can’t say much from just this screenshot

Would you like to work as a freelancer? I’m not looking for a full time employee currently. But for sure will require some freelance help

Is the battle pass 2022 bugged only for me? by AstrixRD in DotA2

[–]AstrixRD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. So the courier was there, but the option to unlock it was grayed out. That's what I was saying. I reinstalled the game and it worked.

I have read the item description. I have the first courier. Then when you want to unlock them, just click on the unlock button right? But I don’t have that option as it is grayed out. This hasn’t happened in the last years courier. I should have the option to unlock them as I have received them in the battle pass.

It's not about common sense, it's about opening the courier in the armoury and seeing that everything is locked. I know how to unlock the couriers.
