Hello I’m James Hartley, Founder/Webmaster/Programmer for AboveThePixel, which was founded in June of 2012. Our goal is to create (hopefully) innovative and off-the-wall games for Android and iOS platforms. I’m looking for team members for ATP’s first project! My goal is to create a simple but addictive game based on a previously proven genre, the scope is rather small and I’m hoping to have the game published in a time-frame of 1-2 months.

The previously-proven genre that has been chosen is top-down space shooter, reminiscent to Geometry Wars or Tons of Oldschool arcade games, there’s a lot of room there however for improvements and innovation, which we’ll discuss more in-depth after the team is assembled.

Talent Needed:
-2D Artist/Animator (2 open positions)
Would be higher beginner-intermediate level preferably, with an eye for detail, looking for more Vector-based art rather than pixel art, although both will be accepted, if you can do both you’re in for sure!

-Music Composer (1 open position)
Would be experienced in or willing to start making techno/dubstep-like soundtracks, beginners will be accepted.

Of course if you can do more than just one function, even some not listed here I would love to hear about it, I love multi-talented people. If we all work well together I would also like people that would remain on the team for future products from ATP. I plan on programming and doing sound effects as well as maintaining the website/managing the project. As of right now I’m planning on using Unity3D as the game engine.
