Alcestis: Single player RPG looking for environment artists

[vim]

Hello and welcome. Alcestis is a fantasy role playing game for PC (single player) that is made by Zero Point Gameplay team using our own game engine.

About

The game is not that advanced, you take the role of a wizard apprentice that travel the land to gather four magical items for you master so he can use them to kill another wizard that he is at war at. From a world map of the land you travel to different areas of the world where one of the items is said to be and you then search the area to find it and return to your master with it. When you have all the four parts your master breaks down the other wizards magical defense and you can enter his tower to kill him.

When you explore the areas you will see the game from first or third person perspective and you will mostly use magic or stealth to solve the problems you face in each area. The areas without any artifact will look mostly the same and only give minor rewards for the players. The four artifact areas will be custom made and contain puzzles and other obstacles for the player. The artifact are based on the four elements and each area will be made around the concept of that element.

The graphical style is not set in stone yet and we wish to explore a number of settings as each area is it's own part of the world. If you are up for the task it is possible to get your own area to create the design and setting for, within the limits of the game play design for each area. We will try to keep the overall mood for the whole game the same even if the settings in each area change.

The game will be free for anyone to download when it is complete.

Media

We have a youtube movie of the latest build, running between some areas of the game. It contain temporary art, some made by programmers so don't stab your wacom pen in your own eye when you see them. The link to the movie is Alcestis test 1 . For more movies about other projects by the team and other teams with our engine look at our YouTube - ZeroPointGameplay's Channel.

Recruitment

We prefer people that aim for a future in game development so that you have the will and determination to do things. It's good if you have a portfolio website that show off things that you have done and so that we can link to it from the Zero Point Gameplay website. Your skill set need to include all steps in making a model from start to finish.

Envirionment/Prop Artist
We would like to have one or two environment artists to join us on the project and help us to create the areas for the game. The game contain a number of different areas that we will all work on and then four unique ones. Tasks include making buildings, plants and other static things.

Concept Artist / Character Artist
We also need concept artists to help design the areas and character artist to model and animate monsters but we can survive without them for now. Still if you are into one of these things and wish to join let us know.
