[UNPAID] Student Game Looking for Pixel Artist
So, I'm part of a 4-man game development student team working together to produce a full, working game in one month's time. However, we have a lot of visual assets for the game and only one artist to do them all, so we've set out to find another artist who would be willing to help out unpaid.
About the game:
Labyrinth (working title) is a real-time, semi-casual dungeon crawler where the player guides a young ninja seeking to liberate various treasures from a band of pirates. Run through randomly generated mazes to find the best treasure, then race to the exit with your loot before it vanishes from your hands!
About the artstyle:
The game's sprite style aims to be fairly simple as well (partially because of our deadline).

About the request:
The project requires at least 200 animated assets and 5 tilesets, as well as a few menu assets. Any joining artists would split these tasks with our current artist, and would hopefully manage to get their parts finished within the 3-4 week production period.
While the artist would not be paid in currency, he would definitely receive a copy of the finished game as a portfolio piece, as well as gain some potentially valuable experience working with a game team. And, of course, your name would certainly be listed in the credits.
About the team:
We're game development students and we depend on the project mostly finishing in order to get full grades (though it doesn't necessarily have to look nice); this should all but guarantee that the project will finish, with or without visual assets.
I can be contacted at marjense@uat.edu if you're interested.
(As a note, I'm the current artist. I probably can't produce 200 animated pieces, even with just 4 frames each, in just 3-4 weeks, so I'm looking for some extra help).
