What is this game:
I need a pixel artist for my game “Little Woods”, Pixel Style Topdown Game; you're a cat that's lost its way in the woods you come across all sorts of threats such as, Wolvles, Owls, Snakes, Wasps, Giant Spiders & more!

The Player is a Grey Cat with Sky Colored Eyes the name of the cat is “Sky”.











All Threats (excluding bosses)

Thorny Bushes (acts as a barrier, and yes it does hurt the player)
Swampy Ground: Slows Down Movement and Kills the player if they stay for too long
Poison Piranha: this is a colorful plant but is very toxic if you get too close it will shoot out its toxic spores and blind whoever got spored

Wolves
Owls
Snakes
Wasp Swarms
Giant Spiders


Night Stalker: The Darkest Creature in these Woods; it comes out in night if you don't sleep for too long (8 minutes and you don't sleep he'll come out)

Pit (is covered with leafs and if you stand in it you fall … and die)








All Bosses

The Guardian of the Woods: A Giant Tree with glowing green eyes, few hollows in his trunk and a big lushy tree “bush” on his head (the thing on top of the trees idk what its called a “head”? idk…)


Weather
In these woods its mostly sunny but there a few weathers that happen;
Thunderstorm
Day/Night Cycle (not rlly a weather but i added it here anyways)
Fog

Materials, Crafting, etc.

Herbs
Berries
Sticks
Ores (no you cannot go mining but some little “crumbs” of ores are found at the surface)
Stone
Bandages (used to heal can get from CRAFTING or found from a CHEST)

Crafting & Chests

Crafting; you can craft stuff from a “table” a table is found in any VILLAGE)
Chests: chests are found in the mines and rarely in some VILLAGES)

Villages

Villages are found randomly from time to time in this “infinite” (if you can call a big map infinite) map





What i need for you to do (if your want to help me AND your good at Pixel Art)

Make a GIANT Tileset (when i say giant i mean it)

Make the Player (with animations for, Walking, Running, Attacking & Other; what i mean by “Other” is you choice but Walking, Running, Attacking is needed if you want to do more its your choice)


Make each enemy i specified (and boss) up in “ALL THREATS (excluding bosses)” and “ALL BOSSES” up there

Make art for each material; up in “MATERIALS, CRAFTING, ETC.”

Make animationos for each weather

Make an animation for day/night cycle

Make art for local cat “villagers”; found in villages

Make art for the mines, the chests (with an open animation),

Make the title and UI/GUI; like the buttons like Play Button Credits Button (ofc youll be in there)
Like a button template (a button but no text)
maybe an animation for each “interactive” UI/GUI (like a button and the button clicked)

Last but not least; a font…….

All tiles sizes are 16x16 pixels 16 pixels wide and 16 pixels tall
(each tile HAS TO be the same size)

All interactive tiles should have a corresponding animation for the player (eg. there is a pushable rock then there should be a pushing animation)

This looks really interesting, I have a game dev team, https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/35090954/curators with lots of talent, but besides that, I am quite good with finding people, I can find an actual pixel artist for you!

But I need to know how big the tiles must be, and what sized pixels you want, and if it's in bitmap or not. Remember, bitmap does not affect the graphics of pixel games, and it saves A TON of space, which you'll probably need due to the sheer amount of tiles…

Yes it's bitmap and it is 16x16 pixels for each tile, and if you can find a pixel artist That Would be SOOOO GREAT; anyways TYSM

Ok! I'll try and find one!!!

How's it going with finding someone?

Two things, quote when you reply, and second, I've not had much time, but I'll get to work, I may need to find more than one…

I found a good place to try making your own art: https://www.pixilart.com/draw

heck this out as well: https://www.pixilart.com/search?term=Tiles

Cherrystack wrote:

*Check* https://www.pixilart.com

how do you quote when i reply?

but i don't wanna make my own art :\ didn't you say you'll find someone?

I know, I just wanted to show you that, but remember, you can join for free, it's just like scratch! Then you could ask someone to help there, and yes, I am trying to find a pixel artist, the biggest problem I face is that I will probably need multiple artists to get the tiles done… Oh, and the quote option is in the bottom right of this message, next to the report button, but don't worry, I followed the discussion, so I get a notice every time you reply.

yeah i know what pixilart is, i already have an account— but maybe u can find an artist for each category of a tile and find another artist for the player , enemies, items, etc.

Ok! It's hard though… But I am trying, pls don't think I'm not, but finding such artists is hard… I may have a lead though…

thanks so much btw , and i'm not in a rush you can take as long as you want (but atleast within a month lol)

Thanks!

I'll draw all the tiles you listed. How do you want them centered? (ie center, bottom left, etc)

I might need some clarification for some of the tile types. In particular, what you're looking for from a tree canopy (is it a square tile of leaves, or a set of tiles made to look like a treetop)

I can also do a UI and code the interactions for it, too. (for example a setup that will broadcast when a button is pressed)

No Way Really???? you can do ALL of them i didn't expect 1 person to draw every single one…………… but TYSM anyways and even UI …. you're the best person that exists like what………………………….. you don't have to do the coding for the UI and stuff i can do that myself … and i want them centered yeah, for the tree canopy you can try both and i'll see — by the way , when you're done where will it be ? like on pixilart or smth or Scratch? (or maybe a different art platform like aseprite for example, and then import each tile into costumes in scratch tbh i dont really care , just asking)… and again thank you SO MUCH you're the best!
(do you want me to make a short list for UI?)
