Artists: Zapcoder Wants You

Artists: Looking for a way to build your portfolio, or get your work out and into games?  Got a whole stack of sprites you created for an old project which never got off the ground?

Zapcoder, the Glasgow-based company which is creating an app which will allow anyone to build and create their own games and apps, is looking for input.

The company is offering artists the chance to have their content featured in the Zapcoder app when it launches – putting sprites in front of designers, developers and players around the world.

Artists will retain all copyright over their work and receive full credit in each title.

Zapcoder users will be able to select from a catalogue of sprites and artwork to feature in the games they create. The company hopes to put their new technology in the hands of millions of users.  So artwork could be picked up and included in dozens or hundreds of games in the near future.

All assets must follow these standard guidelines:

• Backgrounds must be provided in landscape (960px by 640px) and portrait (640px by 960px)
• Sprites must be provided as a 640px x 640px PNG and SVG
• Sounds must be provided in .MP3 or .WAV format
• A .CSV file should be provided to support tagging
