2D Pixel Artist Needed [Rev-share]
I plan on making a sequel to a game I made around 6 months ago (link below) called Zombie Kaos. It will be a top down zombie survival game with various weapons, upgrades and levels. The graphics required won't be that many (no more than 25) and in return for your work I'll give you more or less 25% of any money earned from sponsoring, sitelocks and ads.
The original game got 50,000 views and could've been far more successful if it had better assets and more gameplay features. It also suffered a bit due to optimisation and a couple of minor bugs. I've become a far better programmer since and I'm willing to spend a lot more time polishing and adding features to ZK (I spent about two weeks making the original).
If you're interested add me on Skype (quickfruit) or email me (hovaku [at] gmail [dot] [com]).

A game made in two weeks? Amazing. Even my breakout clone took longer. I sometimes wonder what I do wrong, that my projects take so long :/
You'll get better :) AS3 is also easier to develop in than Java and pure OpenGL (which I wouldn't even consider for small projects).
I felt Java already a big advancement in developing times compared to C++ which I had been using before. Well, Java Applets are mostly dead now, while Flash is supported on many systems. I guess you made a good choice there :)
I'm actually moving to Java now as I plan on making a game for Steam :) Java is bigger and faster than AS3 on the desktop (Adobe Air). Also, AS3 is slowly dying since it never won over devs on mobile while Java is one of the most used programming languages on Andriod which has the largest mobile OS share. Java has a lot of potential in gaming, just not on the web (which is becoming less relevant because of apps anyway).
Positions filled. If you're still interested in working with me in the future then feel free add me on Skype or drop an email.
