Hey all.

We are a group working on a game called Vertigo. It's a fast paced 3rd person spaceshooter � la Gradius, R-Type et al. This is a project that we are working on in our spare time. If we can make it good enough (which we can), we are going to try and get it published and/or start a company around it. Which means, we can't pay you. We want to, but we can't. However, if we get it published, we will of course do our best to compensate any and all contributors. If we can't get this game published we hope that it will generate some interest and get some recognition, making our next game easier to sell.

I know that this sounds like the regular "work for us for free so we can rip you off" post, but please, bear with me as I explain.

We are in need of a second concept artist to help our main concept artist with designing enemies, human ships etc. He has already designed a few enemies, shpis, stations and mechs. Unfortunately, he is a little short on time since he is working. Since we really want to release this game, we need a second person to help us get the concepts done so we can get this baby rolling (a little faster than it is currently moving ). We are a couple of enemies short of a first demo. We do have a playable version, but it's a little empty at the moment

Anyway, feel free to drop by in our irc channel, irc.lekstuga.org #ichian and say hi or email me at [email protected]. Or visit our site at http://pchan.cgworks.com/ichian/site where you can download a short movie of the gameplay. It's an early build, but it gives you an idea of what we're going for.
