Hi Everybody,

TEAM ECOThink

Project Ecological Tycoon

Inspired by Civilization & Sim City, It’s a management game based on creating a sustainable environment. The player must consider the economic side, social aspect and ecologic dimensions as a unique element. There are many pedagogic informations in game in order to explain to the player the consequences of its actions. For more information, you can visit our website : http://www.ecological-tycoon.com (only in French for the moment).


What’s our plan now ?

We want to participate to another international competition: Dream Build Play until mid-September. After, we will continue our project in order to commercialize our game on Xbox Live Arcade.

Perfect Profile

That’s why we're looking for 1 or 2 graphic designer able to realize 2D tilesets  and animated sprite. They must have initiative spirit, accept the artistic way and could be available several hours per week. A game experience would be appreciated. Geeks are welcome and will feel like home!

Most of the work will be the creation of various elements of the game :
- building sprites (sometimes animated)
- world tilesets (grass, sand, sea, river, mountain, etc.)
- some ideas in order to add easter egg :p
- CG skill would be appreciated for CG introduction

We want a graphic style between cell-shading (for cartoon aspect) and « sweet » aspect of Anno 1701.

If you’re interested, or want more information about what we are waiting for, environnement team, etc. contact me at jjacquet@ecological-tycoon.com

See you soon,
Julien
