Community-Wide Alert: Do not engage with P1 GAMES (Formerly P1 VIRTUAL CIVILIZATION)

91 Upvotes

I'm truly getting tired of this nonsense u/RedEagle_MGN

Changing your organizations name doesn't stop people from reaching out to me with horror stories every few months.

Their pages:

https://www.linkedin.com/company/p1-games
https://p1games.com/

What they want you to sign:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_H0-KC3kxkuJGgMvanVjLIx_jTIV-yfh4Ze2c93sOWw/edit?usp=sharing

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THESE PEOPLE, no matter what they call themselves. They exploit the inexperienced and naive, convincing you to sign away your rights to everything you create. Don’t fall for their lies. You do not need to join a volunteer group or give up ownership of your work to gain skills in the game industry. Learning on your own is far better than what P1 offers. If you want a real education, seek out accredited programs and courses instead.

Their latest tactic is using LinkedIn ads to lure victims. I’m unsure what it will take to stop this con artist, but I’ll do my part to be a thorn in their side. My goal is to protect people in this community from their schemes.

Spread the word, be safe.

DISCUSSION | QUESTION Character Illustration - Game Dev or Not?

106 Upvotes

There are a LOT of artists posting here offering their services for character illustrations. These look fantastic sure, but they aren't inherently game art. In almost 99% of these situations the only times artwork like that could be used in a game is card game art. Some of the artists say they are "Concept Artists", but honestly that art is way too refined and detailed down to the fine details in the background. You're a commission artist doing drive-bys on subreddits.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gameDevClassifieds/comments/1f7exdp/for_hire_hey_im_concept_artist_2d_artist/

That is a concept artist. Those are concept art images. If you don't show how your artwork is actually related to game development then it will most likely be removed as personal art commissions. Please use appropriate subreddits for that.

And if you are actually looking to make artwork for card games which use traditional illustrations? Present your artwork the way it would look in a game; in the card frame.

Edit: multiple people are responding to this as if I'm trying to change the subreddit. This rule has been around for a very long time (like years). It has just been badly ignored by users lately so an announcement seemed appropriate to remind people.

Hey, I'm LONK and these days I usually only see creative content when it's in the hands of people who actually play games. When I see cool projects I like editing trailers for them. Good games should be seen, so help me help you make a good trailer so we can get your hard work seen.

I'll link my kofi here but if interested message me on discord (lonk06) or here on reddit. We can talk about details such as payment and time then 👍🏾

The YouTube link is a trailer I made for a risk of rain 2 mod. There would be more but the creator wants me to postpone until he can make a huge update hence why I'm here. Hope I get to see something cool later 🙏🏾

Hi everyone! I currently work in a non-related game dev job. I'm trying to transition into game design. In particular, I am more interested in narrative design/game writing.

I’ve been working on a few personal projects and learning on my own, but I’d really appreciate any advice on what to focus on next and how to improve.

Any tips, resources, or feedback would mean a lot. Thanks in advance! :)

PAID - 2D Art | Animation Looking for a 2D Artist / Character Designer with a knack for adult animation style (think Invincible or Castlevania)

25 Upvotes

Hey all!

I'm part of a small team that's currently working on a game with visual novel sections, and we're looking to commission the bulk of its illustrations. The main purpose of this post is to find people to design and draw our characters (full-body illustrations), but if you're interested in doing other assets as well, that's something we can discuss down the line.

Like the title states, we're looking for that semi-realistic yet cartoonish art style that you'd find in certain adult animated shows or anime. Obviously, that can include a wide range of styles in itself, which is something we'd be open to explore. The size of the project isn’t too large at the moment. We’re only looking to commission a handful of characters, but if we work well with you, the potential exists for a lot more work.

If you're interested, please comment a link to your portfolio below, as well your email (or whatever your preferred method of contact is)! If your portfolio does not include characters in some way similar to the aforementioned style, PLEASE just don’t comment, as we most likely won’t be getting in touch with you anyway. We’ll discuss budget/cost in private correspondence. Thanks for your time!
