PaperDoor Studios is Recruiting [NEW POSITIONS]

#1 Post by ShojiAmasawa » Thu Jun 13, 2013 9:27 pm

For about a year now, my brother and I have had a studio called PaperDoor Studios. We have had three releases (Dark Streets, (manga) (she was a) Human Cat-Girl! (manga), The Case Of Genevieve Walker (light novel).) Now we are moving into the realm of visual novels. Between both our writing, art and music, we are a quite capable team.

HOWEVER ...

Many of our projects are ambitious. My current VN project, Myriad Blades, has 75,000 words written for it. It isn't even finished yet! What's worse is that I am very new to coding. If anything, I would like someone who has experience in coding so that I can learn from them. So far, I have been able to put together the basic structure of EVOLVEd : Echoes of the Codex War, so that it plays through and has backgrounds. There are still many things which I am not clear on, though.

Not only that, but while I am a pretty good artist, colouring and shading have always been a weak point. Mostly shading, though. Any kind of help with art would be appreciated, actually. Critique, suggestions, character design, etc ...

And, while I am a fast writer (42 words per minute, apparently!) with a lot of ideas, my English is not always top-notch. A proofreader would be helpful, because I understand the importance of proper gammer.

Positions ...

Artist - Filled
Programmer - Filled
Proofreader - Filled
Voice Artist(s) - Would be ideal. Go to page two http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 08#p295308 for more details.

I don't want to sound stuck-up, but I am looking for people who are really good at what they do. In other words, experience.

In terms of payment ...

Our first two projects, EVOLVEd, and Miss Akeboshi's After School Adventure! would be tests to see how well we can work together. No payment would be involved with those, since those would be free games, and I am rather short on money. After that, we can talk about actual payment. Until then, maybe a skill trade of some kind? You help us, we help you.

A list of our planned projects, listed in order when I want to complete them ...

EVOLVEd : Echoes of the Codex War - A short KN teaser for Myriad Blades.
Miss Akeboshi's After School Adventure! - A slightly longer VN with two endings.
One Night Of Snow - A medium-length VN sequel to EVOLVEd with two to four endings.
Myriad Blades : Codex War - A long VN with over 30 endings (counting bad endings).
Myriad Blades : Why We Fight - Expansion VN to Codex War.
Myriad Blades : She Moved Through The Fair - Expansion VN to Codex War.
Tsunderebirds - Nothing much to say about the technical side of things. I just really want to do it.

If you are interested, and/or willing to put some of your time into this, please private message me. My brother and I will be eternally grateful, and will find ways to make it worth your while.

If you have any questions, please ask them here. I want everyone to be able to see the answers.

Hi there!

It might be helpful to include a sample of your art and writing, or even just a basic plot, so people know what they're joining :)

I knew there was something I was forgetting! Let's see ...

Writing sample from EVOLVEd: Echoes of the Codex War ...
Emi runs ahead of me, excitedly. Her long hair trailing behind her, and blowing chaotically in the autumn wind. The few leaves that are left on the trees dangle precariously, begging for another gust to send them plummeting to the earth.

I’m in no hurry to go into another musty building, as I’ve been doing every other day for about a month. I just want to stay out and enjoy the crisp fall weather, and not need to worry about Darwin Club activities.
Writing sample from Myriad Blades: Codex War ...

I slam into the ground with the force of a mortar. Concrete is ripped from the ground, Codex soldiers are sent flying in every direction, and the street shakes from the impact. From the looks of it, I was able to appeal to The Zone in the nick of time, because I don’t feel a thing.
For a moment, I remain stationary in the crater I’ve made. The confused shouts of the Codex are drowned out by my own heartbeat. There’s no time rest, though, because the surviving soldiers are now turning their guns to me.

Soldier: "Shoot him!"
"Like hell, you will!"

Spinning around, I unleash a flurry of Attack Orders. One by one, the Codex soldiers fall in bursts of purple sparks.

[SFX: GUNSHOT]

A sniper tries his luck at ending my assault, but I’m too quick for him. I catch a small glimpse of a gun barrel in a window about a block from me. That’s all I need to know.

[SFX: PRECISION ORDER]

With the sniper out of the way, I look around me. All the Codex are dead, and I’m completely drained.

Don't want to be a jerk, but since you seem so decided about this it wouldn't be right of me to not tell you this: I am a practicing illustrator, and based on my personal knowledge of the art craft and artist circles, i heavily recommended to change the position of "Assistant Artist" to "Artist", and have this person in charge of the general art. While there are certain aspects of an illustration that can be processed or set in parts (like colouring or inking), shading is quite simply not one of them, and because of this i fear that most artist would feel dissuaded from joining Paperdoor studios. Not so much because they don't want to be subdued in an assistant position, but because it might probable leave them somewhat uncertain about how the production process will turn out.

:oops: You are absolutely right. Thank you for pointing that out. This is new to me, and I tried to do as much research on what positions I should offer. At the time it seemed like a good idea, but looking back it seems like an awfully condescending thing to say. I will change it immediately. I guess I still have a few things to figure out with this. :oops:

I'd like to know... How may people do you need? And the most important to me xD How long will you be looking for people? I'll be out of the town for a month, but I might apply for this once I'm back home.

For starters, thank you! Really, I'm just looking for one person for each position, and I will keep this open until each position is filled. May I ask what you would be applying for? I could add a "reserved" next to it if you'd like.

I'm interested in the artist position, but honestly I'm not sure about my quality with backgrounds. If someone else applies and looks capable with both BGs and characters, don't be afraid of taking him/her.

Thank you, Kami, but the position of programmer was just filled by someone else. Thank you, though.

Backgrounds are inherently a tough thing to work with. I will definitely keep my eyes out for someone else who is qualified for that particular position. In the meantime, I have added a reserved tag to artist.

Hello there! I know it's been a... absurdly long time, I'm afraid, but I'd like to know if there's still a chance I can postulate for the artist position.

Don't worry, my friend! It turns out that I needed some time to sort out all of my projects. Funnily enough, it took a conversation with my mother to jolt me back to my senses about what can realistically be accomplished. I am currently writing out two separate scripts for the two routes of Myriad Blades, and writing another for One Night Of Snow. Shall I PM you with contact information, then?
