Overview
A character designer and writer is required to support the development of a 2D action-adventure game inspired by African mythology. The project involves creating original character designs and shaping the game’s story, including narrative arcs, boss encounters, and mythological themes. The game will feature parry-based combat, boss battles that unlock abilities, and underworld stages. This is a solo indie project with the potential for long-term collaboration, and all work will be completed remotely.

Create boss designs that visually reflect their unique abilities and roles in gameplay
Develop concept art and character sheets for use in animation and gameplay integration
Craft the overarching narrative, dialogue, and lore of the game in collaboration with the developer
Ensure the story and characters align with the themes of African mythology without reliance on AI-generated content
Provide editable project files and narrative documentation for future use in development
Qualifications
Proven experience in 2D character design and visual storytelling for games
Strong portfolio demonstrating original art styles and character development
Proficiency in digital illustration tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint, or Procreate
Experience in writing or narrative design for games, with ability to structure engaging storylines
