2D Animator job

We wanted a game that focused not just on interpreting the world, but changing it. The Highest Council is designing an experience where you are blind and need to interact with the environment to see. The result is Ballad of the Blind Chordsman, a 2D Action Platformer that uses echolocation.

You play as the Blind Chordsman, a warrior who battles with a sonic keytar. After a devastating battle robbed him of his sight, the Chordsman turned to music to light his world. Now he must face his old band of heroes and save music.

In this game the player is almost entirely blind and uses sound to see, whether it comes from his keytar or the environment itself. The game features combat that focuses on enemy stealth, and platforming that focuses on editing the terrain. The player will experience the story through metaphorical gameplay that allows the player to experience what it’s like to be blind.

Your role will be to create and animate 2D sprites of all characters/enemy’s/bosses. Put on your thinking cap, because we will need a ton of original characters and enemies. Due to the nature of this game pixel art is not an option, so all sprites must be Hand Drawn.

Being a startup, we have no money to pay our employees, but we plan to Kickstart once we have a vertical slice. When that happens we guarantee you will be paid before us and everyone will be paid an even cut.
