Team Announcement

So far it’s only been me working on Inspire. Recently I put out an advertisement for an artist to do some contract work. Some things resulted from this:

• I got quite a few responses from some excellent artists, whose portfolios I enjoyed browsing.
• I hired one of these artists to help develop Inspire with concept art, models and other assets.
• A couple of composers contacted me wondering if I needed music produced for it.
• I hired one of these composers to do some music.

The Composer

Jesse Hopkins has agreed to compose some tracks for the game. His portfolio is at http://www.composerarts.com/. Check out some of the demo tracks available, there is some very impressive work. He is currently producing some music which will be heard in promo movies soon, and in the game when it enters testing.

The Artist

Scott Thunelius is an experienced game artist and developer. His website is at http://www.liberationgames.com/, and he developed the game Kingdom Elemental. I really recommend you try it, a free demo is available. He is currently doing some concept art for Inspire, which will be shown when ready. I’ve seen some early work, and it is exactly what I am looking for. So stay tuned to see Scott’s work and the great art direction of Inspire.

Thanks to these two artists for being part of the development of Inspire. As an indie developer, I do a lot myself but it’s really worth it to pay to do it properly.
