Technology: Windows/DirectX, C/C++ Talent needed: 2D Background and Interface Artist The perspective candidate will be tasked to create backgrounds, interface, in-game objects, web graphics, and work closely with the team manager.

If you are talented and have little experience this is a good opportunity to work with a small team on a manageable project and get some hands on with game development. As indie developers ourselves we understand, (really understand!) what kind of talent, determination, long hours, and dedication to the team it takes to bring everything together to complete even the simplest of game designs. We are dedicated to the completion of this title and would expect the same from you. If interested please drop us a line, and tell us a little about yourself. Include information such as name, contact info, experience, why you would like to work with us, and what skills you could add to our team.
