Zethrilia in need of Writers, Proofreaders, Artists, Etc.

Hello! We're brand new to this whole thing. BishounenMonarchs is run by two people who will do their best to reply to any messages. Anyway, Zethrilia was a project we've started maybe about a year ago and we dropped because we realized we didn't really have anything to go off of.

Zethrilia is an otome game, more information about it here (Zethrilia)

We plan on most, if not all of our games to be 100% free or Non-Profit all proceeds go to charity, so if you're looking for money we're not the people you want to work with.

We have the basic concept of the game ready and we have character designs in our heads but we totally suck at drawing so we need help with that.

ALL CREDIT Will be given at the end credits of the game, in a little credit thing you can press in the menu of the game and on anywhere to speak of the game because we want to give credit like crazy, we really appreciate anyone that can help!

What we really need are:

Writers:
You'll be in contact with us whole time with the writing process, perhaps on skype and other things, we plan on doing most of the writing ourselves but sometimes you need some input so we're looking for two people to help with that.

Proofreaders/beta testers:
Once again we're looking for two people. We'll most likely need you at the end of the process so don't expect much for a while.

Artists:
We can't draw at all but we have ideas of what we want our characters to look like, we don't have a particular style but we have design ideas.
We're looking for background, sprite, and CG artists! Please send us examples of your work before hand!

Composers:
We can just grab some copyright free music but it's nice to have something specific to this game. So if you're interested just tell us, your stuff will mostly be on your own because we know nothing about music.

Voice Actors:
We don't NEED them but we'd love to have them. All voice actors need to get out there and we'd appreciate giving our game that extra little thing. Since there's five characters in the game we need five people, the characters are all male, but one androgynous so females trying to sound male are allowed. Please include a clip of your voice if interested.

We're new to using Ren'py so any help with the start screen of the game would also be appreciated!

To contact us we are available from around 9am to 1am EST all days.

To apply to join the game simply send us a reply with what you're applying for, a way to contact you, and samples of your work.

We look forward to working with you and hope you'd like to stick around to help with our other games in the future!

Hi,

it looks like you did not take a look at our Recruitment rules before posting.

Please add a sufficient amount of detail on your project to your post.

Hello!

Yes, I did read your rules but I do not understand what you mean by adding a "sufficient" amount of detail to my post. Must I include the plot for my game? I'd rather not really have information leaked about it, which is why I left it out

Edit:

However, if I must add more about the game I can take down this thread and post up another one once I have a little page for it out when we have the character designs finished if that would suffice for now?

It's quite simple:

1. Reveal enough about the project so that people see at a glance that you know what you're doing. If all the information you share is "we're going to make an otome game", then it sounds like you don't even have an idea for a plot.

2. Tell people how big their workload is going to be. There are five characters you want voiced? Fine. Does each of those characters have ten lines, or a hundred, or a thousand? And you want writers? For a script of which size? Artists? How many poses for the characters? How many BGs? How many CGs? What style? Composers? Again, how much music, and what style?

3. Have you done even one thing for this game yet except try to recruit a team? And if so, what and how much have you done?

These are the requirements.
