Hey all!

First time posting here so I hope that someone will respond.

To cut to the chase the main reason I'm posting is to see if anyone can lead me a hand in producing the graphics for a game that I am making by myself. I would totally do it myself but everything I have come up with is frankly disgusting. I do plan on become better, although I cant afford to dedicate my time fully to the graphics in order to meet my release schedule.  Im mainly a programmer/developer so thats the role I would be playing.

Anyway the game in question is called cloud9 and the simple point is to collect as many water droplets as possible while navigating through falling objects. Its really simple at this point because its in the early stages of development, but there is a lot to be added in the very near future.

Here are some screens: (Crtl + left click to view in new tab)

As you may or may not have seen the game is running on android which means that it is indeed and android game app. So I will be publishing this eventually on the Google play store and hopefully the amazon app market as well, for both a paid($0.99) and free(ad supported) version.

I'm also going to include link to a demo of the game in my post, just download it and transfer it over to a android 2.3+ phone/tablet and enjoy. Alternately you can just select the file link on an android 2.3+ device; download and then install the game. This way you might be able to get a feel for it and possibly some BGM sound ideas.

FYI: Don't bother reading the instructions because they need to be updated, also there are some small glitches in the game so don't worry about them.

CONTROLS: Everything is touch based so its all pretty basic, to play the actually game just touch anywhere on the screen to push the cloud  around and collect the water droplets with out hitting the spikes or enemies (falling spike balls). The ballons will push you around so be careful . The best method in my opinion is to touch as little as possible in order to control the cloud efficiently.

Also if you do play the demo please make sure to mention what type of device you used and how the game handled (IE: Did it crash? Is it slow and where? etc, etc)

Freelance would be best, also I can offer a small lump sum (a moderate amount if at all possible). I really cnat offer much seeing as I have basically a $0 budget, so im basically in the red as it is.   There is also the possibility of a percentage of the profit from each sale, although it would not be much (something like 20%). As an android developer I only get 70% of the profit myself as Google takes the other 30%. Since the game is only going to sell for $0.99 the total amount you would get from one sale for 20% would be like $0.10. So the lump sum would be the best choice if you want to get paid. In my opinion the best is freelance but that is up to you and you're work. Aside from pay you will get you name/handling the credits along with some advertising for your work and youself as a game artiest.

Initially I'm going to just have the graphics I have updated to look much nicer. Then if anything comes up later that would need to be addressed as well. This is a 2D graphics project, so nothing to complecated. Raster graphics is perferable, somthing along the lines of fun and 16-bit.

If you are interested please by all means responded to this post. You might also want to post a sample of your work so that I can see what you can do. Also if you want to get in contact with me the best way would be though email. Heres my personnal account: shawnw.benson@gmail.com .

Hopefully whomever decides to work with me might want to also help on future projects as well.

Lastly here is the link to download the game. Click here to download Cloud9: http://www.filedropper.com/cloud9

Sorry the file hosting service i used is full of ads so for clarity just click on the grey "download this file" image and then type in the four digit code and press enter to get it. 

I look forward to working with someone here hopefully!
