I've started a dev blog for a game I've been working on called Dungeon Disaster.
You can find it at the main Armageddon Games site.
All of the development blog posts can be found here.

If anyone has any thoughts or recommendations on a sprite artist, please let me know. I need to remove the Zelda art asap.
Let me know if you have any questions.

The link to the dev posts returns Error 500. I don't see Dungeon Disaster listed yet, on the main site. Which Zelda sprites are you referencing in you above post?

I'll do that now.

I don't know if you are looking for a paid, or an unpaid artist, but [MENTION=38529]Mitsukara[/MENTION] might be a decent choice. I may be willing to do some of it, depending on what you need.

Still no reference to Dungeon Disaster.

Cool! I'm a fan of procedural 2D games as well. I messed with some progressively generated enemy spawn systems for a shmup once; it was a lot of fun.

I've already come to terms with the fact that it will have to be paid if I intend to release the game as a paid title.

They're great just because you can play so many times and never experience the same game twice. Keeps it fresh a bit longer. The difficulty is usually a bit higher on them as well which is something newer games lack as well.

Looks cool! I'd love to get into game dev some day, but today is not that day.

As for the sprite artist, are you looking to pay someone, or someone who can work pro bono?

War Lord 04 Jan 2017, 04:25

I'm going to have to pay someone. No one does revenue share on graphics anymore, which makes sense. Who knows if a game will be successful or not with how many are released.
I contacted two people today, we'll see what happens.

Brasel 04 Jan 2017, 05:48

I can dig around my Twitter. I've got quite a few good pixel artists that follow me, so if I see someone that may be able to help, I'll let you know.

Heh. I would probably do revenue shares, and opt for that over strict pay in advance. Really, this doesn't seem too difficult to do. What is your overall game palette? Standard 24/32?

War Lord 04 Jan 2017, 13:23

Yes, and I have no preference on art direction currently, pretty open to whatever.
I planned on getting a few tile samples from a few people see what stuck out.
I'll hit you up on skype or a pm here shortly.

This looks pretty cool. I would check this out if it was on steam. I wouldn't ever get this game on a phone. I have tried playing games like it on a touchscreen and it just doesn't work for me. And using my ps2 controller on my phone is never as convenient as I want it to be.

[MENTION=39587]Brasel[/MENTION] I appreciate it man, please let me know.

I think right now it could control ok on a phone but I see it getting too complicated for that very quickly in the near future.

SUCCESSOR 04 Jan 2017, 23:17

My biggest problem with using a touch screen for games is my thumb has no reference for what the neutral position of a dpad is and slowly moves off until I go to press up and hit right (or nothing) instead. That is the point I usually die and resist chucking my phone at something.

Ooh, a project? I know you're looking for a sprite/graphics designer right now, but here's something else that's kinda important. Do you have music for it?

War Lord 10 Jan 2017, 14:39

I will indeed need music and sound effects but haven't put much into it yet as I'm so worried about the graphics cost currently.

Cashwarrior1 10 Jan 2017, 16:40

Okay, because I was going to offer to help with music. Though I do realize that you probably want chiptune-esque music, and I can't really do that :P
