Original post below the cut.
tofurocks is currently looking to commission a short term 2D Environment/Background Artist for the Queer Vampire Game Jam, taking place between January 10 - February 20th, 2024. The project is currently in pre-production and story details are subject to change.
"Tithe your blood to me, and in exchange I'll ensure you spend the rest of your days in comfort."
[A human] wakes up one day to find that he's been hit by the latest wave of tech industry redundancies, and without a decent job offer he's willing to take, he's desperate for a stream of income; it's too bad that the blood plasma donation center near his apartment is indefinitely closed for renovations. But just before all hope is lost, a stranger nearby offers him company, and much, much more not too long after...
But there's always a catch to these things, isn't there?
