                  MUSICIANS AND GRAPHICS ARTISTS WANTED!                    


I am looking for graphics artists and musicians who think that they
could draw/compose for adventure games in their free time. I'd like to
release some cool games, but I do not have gfx and musicmen, what makes the
game creation VERY-VERY difficult... So I am waiting for your reply, if you
think that you are a good composer/graphician. What I am expecting:

Graphician

1) Backgrounds: Background pictures (as in any other adventures).
2) Sprites: Many sprite forms, and sprite phases (character animation).
3) Animations: Sprite animations, NOT hyper-realistic 3-D 1280x1024 marvelous
               raytrace 50 frames/sec animations!

Notes:
- The pictures can be ANY style (I prefer medieval or ancient style, but they
  can be either sci-fi or horror!), the story of the game is not fixed yet.
- The pictures can be either drawn on computer or scanned.
- The best resolution is 640x480, but 320x200 is good as well.

Musician

1) Modules: Any type of modules (MOD, S3M, ULT etc.).
            MIDI-S ARE NOT ACCEPTED! (MID, CMF, XMI etc.)!

Notes:
- All music styles are accepted EXCEPT techno, rap, acid and other new-style
  musics (sci-fi is good!). The best styles are medieval, horror and rock,
  but others are good as well. The style of the game is not fixed yet, so I
  cannot tell the exact style now, but I hope it will turn out soon.
- The minimum channel number of musics is four, but the optimal is eight
  or more.
- Sound effect making ability is not necessary, but it is very good.

If you want to join me, do the followings:
- If you are a graphician, send me ten or more of your works, or if you are
  a musician send me five or more modules.
- Attach your full address to your works.
   - OR -
- Call!

Note:
- I prefer adventure games, but this does not mean that I would not make
  other types of games (for example, I'm currently writing a platform
  game, just for training). If someone has a good idea, please contact me!
