Things have been quiet for the past few months, but now everything is starting to really pickup!

Our next game, The Farm is going to be released early this week on Armor Games (and early the following week here on NG!). And if that were not enough, a massive redesign of our website is also going live tomorrow!

If you're on Facebook (who isn't nowadays?), you might be interested in becoming a fan of our page here.

Hey guys,
We're currently looking for a talented artist to work on one of our current game projects. If you are interested please send me a PM or simply reply to this topic. This is a PAYING job!

[the job]
We're looking for artists to work on our upcoming game, The Farm. Artists will be responsible for:

* Character, vehicle and effect animations and graphics
* Environmental graphics (scenery in the background of the game)
* Animating a few cut scenes (intro, game over)

A screenshot of the game using some place-holder graphics can be found here.

We're only considering artists that can show us examples of their previous work.

On a side note Kingdom Keeper is being released in a matter of days! Pandemic: American Swine is coming to Newgrounds soon too.

**Thanks to everyone who replied. We have found our artist and are no longer looking.**

The game features four different gameplay modes, over 30 trophies and 50 puzzles! It should keep you busy for a while :D
