Hello,
Game Designer & 2D artist, with an experience over 50 released titles (consoles and phones), at your service.
As you seem to be also searching for an idea, how about to hire someone to write you a full game design document, for an original production, instead of the usual clones ?
Of course, this is not just about an explained concept, but a set of fully detailed work documents, including technical and artistic directions, you can use to have the game developed by any team you like (mine's a bit busy right now)
My skills are :
Design : IA, balancing, core mechanisms, UI, level design, social aspects..
Art : photoshop, pixel, traditional animation, illustrator... and a bit of 3D
I don't code. however, i have some grasp of programming through Basic, Pascal and a bit of java. makes lots of technical discussion easier and more productive.
Price and delay will be adjusted accordingly,after a detailed review of the project and needs.
My portfolio here is only graphic, feel free to contact me for more specific samples, or info about gamedesign.
