Greetings, With this letter I want to inform everybody that our project called Struggle for Life and Honour, which can be found at www.sflah.com is in need for some talented artists. Struggle for Life and Honour (from now on sflah) is a project about creating a game which is a mix of adventure and rpg elements in a medieval setting. The game is created in the spirit of the Quest for Gloryseries by Sierra which was stopped after the 5th game in 1997. At this moment the series are a good example of what we try to make our game look like. The game will take place in a medieval german setting and will involve the mythical creatures and monsters from those days. The player will control a young man who has to find a way to escape his future as a slave. At this moment the plot background and most of the quests are finished. Both the music and programming teams have made an encouriging start and the artwork so far looks excellent The art will be done in 2d and a 640*480 resolution with 16bit colours. For the game we will need backgrounds, dialogue pictures and animations. Therefore we can use the help of anyone capable in one or several of those areas. Backgrounds These are the various screens which form the setting of the game. They include exterior as well as interior cityscreens, forest, hills and mountains among many other interesting locations to draw. Background artists should have good skills both with the pencil and paper as computergraphics. Dialogue pictures All npc''s in this game will have a dialoguepicture. This picture will be used when the player tries to communicate with one of the characters. The dialogue pictures will be done in a similair way to Quest for Glory4. Basically these dialogue pictures are portraits of the various NPC''s. For anyone who would like to try his hands at such art it would be recommened to have both sketching and computerart skills. This way you would be able to create concepts as well as the final versions of the dialogue picture of one of the npc''s. Sprites and Animation Sprites are the objects and persons in the game. These can be created with the use of sketches are are mostly around 64*64 pixels. The movement by the various characters and monsters in the game will have to be animated. This includes the action and combat animations of both monsters and npc''s and ofcourse of the hero itself. It would require artists who have the talents to create and animate these persons Now why would i join? There are dozens of projects who try to create a game This game so far looks very promising, we got a few not only dedicated but also talented and experienced members in all areas. Take a look at our website at www.sflah to see some of our first work. Should you be interested in joining our team or receiving more information about it you can either fill in the application form at our website (www.sflah.com) or mail me at sflah@hotmail.com. Please include the application with a example of your artskills. For the sprites and animations this would be in gif format whereas the dialogue pictures and backgrounds would have to be submitted in bmp format. Ofcourse it is also possible to send links to the specific artwork Thanks for taking your time to read this and i hope to hear from you soon Regards, Joost Brouwer Paladin Valiant www.sflah.com sflah@hotmail.com
