Welcome Back Jmtb02!

After traveling abroad for 2 weeks, John came back to his desk looking like this. I guess if you are gone too long, someone or something else may try to take your spot! :P

Another glorious and successful day on the battlefield! The Armor Games team went out for our second paintball event. There were welts, scars, blood, and hot pink paint? Enjoy the pictures above. We would also like to thank SC Village for helping put the event together and always making the experience worth while. Lock and Load V3.0 may take a while, the healing process has started.

Storyboard Artist Needed

I’ve been working on a project for quite some time now and I’m at a point where I need an artist to help sketch and write the story. I’m no artist but I’ve got a basic summary of the story. I mainly need someone to help sketch out the story and create more depth to it. This is a paid gig for Armor Games so if you’d love to help out and have a portfolio to show please email me at: MedievalGame@ArmorGames.com.

Skills I’m looking for:
* A semi-realistic art style
* Previous experience in writing stories or storyboarding
* Some kind of previous experience with making a game

Cheers!

The Armor Games team had an amazing time on our paintball day! From South Vietnam, to Baghdad, to Kuwait, SC Village was an amazing paintball park. I am sure there will be additional paintball days in the future. This was a very enjoyable experience besides that fact that all of us in office will be sore and bruised until the end of the week!

Artist Needed

2011-01-14_1258

Hey Armor Blog readers!

I’m about to start a new project in the coming weeks and I’m in dire need of a talented artist.

The project will be an action/strategy game with a medieval/middle ages style within a slightly isometric view.

Ideally we’d like someone that’s good with Flash art and animation and/or someone that’s good with sprite sheet animation. This person would also need to be fast and work within a schedule.

The project will require 30+ hours a week for about 2 months. Our budget for the project is $7,000.

So if you’re a talented artist and would love to work on an Armor Games project, please send your portfolios to to MedievalGame@ArmorGames.com.
