What we need currently

Artist

• 2D artists are needed to draw campaign pictures, this includes Portraits of protagonists and objects.
• 3D Artists are needed to create some animated animals and workers and perhaps some bobs.
• Sound Artists are needed for the Sound FX of the world, the tribes, workers and buildings. These three are integral parts of the widelands development and are very responsible positions. Please write in the Forum or on the mailinglist, if you would like to take one of these positions.
