Updated! We are looking for intermediate pixel artists. If you're interested, please share a portfolio and some of your strengths/preferences as an artist here, via email, or Discord. Thank you!

Hello!

I am a co-founder of a hobbyist development team called BitMouse Digital. We are currently looking for intermediate pixel artists.

Our team!

I am the project director and lead writer. We have two Godot programmers, three artists, and one composer! We do not need additional composers, programmers, or writers at this time.

Hi all!
We are BitMouse Digital, a small group of hobbyists working on our first title! We are currently comprised of me (cardboardbox), the director and lead writer, my roommate (the lead artist), and a programmer. We are also in talks with various composers and assistant writers.

Our project is an unnamed 2D top-down story-driven RPG inspired by the likes of Stardew Valley. The core mechanics of the game focus on creating art, while there is also a large cast of characters the player can build relationships with and some fun activities to participate in! It also has queer themes, so we are only accepting members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community.

While the idea has been in the works since March of this year, it's only been my roommate and I until about a month ago. We are still in the planning and prototyping stages, but we are looking for specific talent in order to move forward into production. Provided we find everyone we currently need this month, we'd like to have an early prototype by the end of the year, and a demo sometime next summer (for crowdfunding!!) This is a long-term project!

Keep in mind we are only hobbyists, most of us are university students, and we are not able to provide anyone with a salary. We will only ask for a little bit of your free time and not to make our project your top priority (unless you want to, then we won't stop you.)

If you would like to hear more about our project or to show us some of your work, you can either email me, add me on Discord, or reply here! Thank you for taking the time to read! Hope you have a wonderful day :)
