The Position

Ally Productions is looking for a 2D pixel art generalist for a short term, paid contract for Grapplers: Relic Rivals, my upcoming 2D PVP platformer with grappling hooks. All art in the game is currently temp, so your job would be updating the existing art with Real Art™, and creating new art for anything new that gets made.

The ideal candidate would meet all of these criteria, but I’m open to any interested candidate:

  • You can create beautiful 2D pixel art (eg, Celeste, Terraria, Stardew Valley, Megaman X, TowerFall Ascension).
  • You are versed in multiple kinds of art. In order of importance: Characters, environment tilesets and backgrounds, animation, UI, Steam page assets, minor VFX, maybe social media banners.
  • You know how to keep communication lines open and are not be afraid to get clarification on details. Communication is very important to me.

I’m hoping to have the game done by ~May 1, 2024, but I encourage you to reach out even if the timeline doesn’t quite fit and we can talk things out. That said, this is a small project, so while quality is still important, I’m focused on speed first.

About Grapplers: Relic Rivals

Grapplers: Relic Rivals is a 2D PVP platformer with grappling hooks, similar to Smash Bros (With a single character type) or TowerFall: Ascension. The game is currently at alpha, meaning all of the main mechanics should be more or less represented even if they’re buggy or more content needs to be created for them (eg, more levels). For more info:

  • Download and play the Alpha Build.
  • Check out my devlogs.
  • Email me with questions (See info below).
