More info:

Hey team. I am an audio designer in games, but now I want to make my own game as a passion project. I am just starting around with the look and feel in UE Paper2d. It will be moving to something closer to a Streets Of Rage perspective, but keeping some inspiration of 2d on a 3d world like Octopath Does, though slightly different (more high res less pixel based)

Also:

Please excuse my use of AI in this brief. It would be fantastic if you could also design a mockup poster art so that hense forward, no more AI will be used in any stage of production.

Budget: I will require your assistance in establishing a quote that is fair for both of us. It is early days and self funded, but as an artist myself I want to meet what is fair and not looking to rip somebody off.

Thanks!

Jay
