Helloes. I’m Ido, lead developer/programmer at Echoes - a real time strategy-shooter game by the independent game developer group We Create Stuff. We released the first episode of the series, Echoes: Operation Stranglehold last summer: http://armorgames.com/play/6451/echoes-operation-stranglehold (played over 3 million times just on AG!) Here are few screenshots from the gallery http://www.echoesgame.com/gallery/Screenshots/echoes557.jpg http://www.echoesgame.com/gallery/Screenshots/echoes0_int_01.jpg We’re also responsible for Portal: The Flash Version (mentioned in the NYT, cnet, and more) a while back, and in the modding and horror game dev community we’ve recently released Nightmare House 2 (won 2nd place as mod of the year). Working on the next installment in the Echoes series, we have two new open positions for artists. These positions are working by Axel Hammarback’s guidance, who is the lead artist in Echoes, managing the style and animations. He took care of all(!) graphics in Echoes Operation Stranglehold, but this time he’s loaded with university work and that’s where you can come in and assist with these two aspects: Job #1, Level artist - Draw the levels according to precise sketches, involves a lot of environment art and atmosphere. A level in Echoes can go from 1500px to 8000px. Level of detail and imagination are both very important here. Job #2, Concept artist - Draw stills of the Echoes universe according to a certain description for ingame/commercial use. Once again imagination and thinking further into details in characters displayed in the stills are important. You don’t need any Flash or animation skills for these jobs. This is not volunteer work. In return, we can offer you a spot in our team, a reasonable payment, the chance to work with the huge project that this is, and get some awesome experience and exposure. If you have any questions / if you’re interested, please contact me ido [at] wecreatestuff [dotdotdot] com For those applying, we’ll then contact you again soon with instructions requesting a small piece of art work to see how the communications between us work, and whether your style fits Echoes. Deadline for applying is around two weeks from now, end of Feb 2011 Thank you so much! Ido Echoes - Official website We Create Stuff
