Hello there!
We’re two artists - YuukiCrossPudding and Laniessa - who decided to join SuNoFes, a jam running through July with very lax rules. We want to make an Aria-inspired game about summer and friendship, but as we’re only artists, we’re lacking in other skills. Because of this, we’re searching for additional members to help us make this game. There’s one and a half month left to complete the project!
We’re looking for members who are willing to give new ideas to develop the project further, and this project is a good way to experiment, have fun and create new things! We treasure any sort of creative input and there will be a lot of flexibility in what you can do.
We’re moving from our comfort-zone a bit to experiment with this project, so we’re happy for you to do the same!
Project Details
Our tentative name for the project is Cerulean, because we want the of the story to be cool and refreshing!
Story
Our story concept centers around a girl who moved to a different town to live with her mother three years ago. Despite living in the town for such a long time, she feels like an outsider and has a difficulty in recognizing the town as her ‘home’ - until she meets two people that she ends up making friends with and finds ‘home’ in the people around her.
The game story will revolve around friendship, the concept of ‘home’ and warmth. For now we are 4 characters - one pomeranian, with 3 different endings in our mind. It’s still in an early stage, so we would be thrilled if you have any input and want to develop the story further. The town will be Venice-inspired, surrounded by water, with the story set in a modern-era. Important motifs that we want to evoke will be the ocean and the colour blue.
Graphics
We’re aiming to make a fresh and cute visuals for the game, and it’ll be a short-VN. The graphics will be made in pixel-style, and have clean, and cute feeling in it. An example of what we have so far:
We already have a programmer, proofreader, and all art assets will be made by us!
As we said before currently the story plot is in an early stage, so it'll need further development and new ideas. So if you decide to help us with writing the story, you will take part to develop the universe of the story!
However, we've already started making the art assets, so you will be relatively limited in that regard, and we can’t change the physical characteristics of the characters. Currently we have 1 male and 2 females, also one little pompom. If time permits us, we want to add more characters in the story, but there is no definite for this.
We want to achieve a very calm effect with our game, so we’re looking for sweet, calming songs! We’re looking for about 4-5 tracks tops, so if you’re interested, please apply! We know a few vocalists that can help out too, if you would like!
tl;dr; we’re making an Aria-inspired game and we want a writer and a composer!
If you're willing to work with us, we'd be happy to draw art assets for a small project in exchange, like a skill trade!
