Need Artist | Programmer | Musician [OPEN]

#1 Post by Gez_ » Thu Jul 07, 2016 9:23 am

Hello! We are looking for team members to help us turn our story into a game. Now I'm not going to beat around the bush so let's get right to it. The Project we have started is a multi-route Romance Visual Novel called "Too Many Girls". This name is more so a place holder and is subject to change. There are 7 planned endings and 5 girls to choose from.

The Story/Characters

Story:The Story follows Kris, a boy in his second year of high school who is sitting in class listening to particularly boring lecture. Under the muse of his teacher's expressionless voice he quickly drifts off into a light slumber. *RING* Awaking at the sound of the last bell he looks up to find he is the only one in the class and that it is much later than he had presumed. Leaving the classroom he notices things are off. The school looks different although not drastically. Trying to find his way out he quickly learns that he is no longer in the school he was before. After mindlessly roaming around he runs into what he thinks is a teacher, he thinks because he has never seen her before. After asking her where the exit was and receiving some strange looks he rushes home. Before he leaves however he notices a sign that reads "Touhai Girls School". Rushing home he notices that not only the school but the entire town is slightly off; Street names have changed, Shops are replaced with others, and his neighbors seem to have changed. Finally reaching his home he reaches into his pocket to grab his key, relieved to still find it there. Praying his home hasn't changed he puts the key in the door and turns. *CLICK* Sighing in relief he pushes open the door and walks inside, calling out to his parents as he does. Hearing footsteps from the lounge his parents soon emerge into the main hallway and greet him. Relieved to see his parents he tells them what happened and asked what's going on. Confused they look at him and tell him that he's always been in that school and that nothing has changed.
This is a bit sloppy as its late when Im writing this and it also makes this VN seem more mystery than romance which is kinda the case but the MAIN focus of this VN is going to be Romance, the mystery will be a side plot.

Charactersl
-Kris Yuto-
Bio: Not-so-average student at Koto Kyoiku no Tame no Jogakko(Joshi Akademi). He's a both a bit introverted and extroverted. He tends to bottle up his feelings, which can lead to him exploding into a fit of unfiltered emotion. His mother and father seem to have no memory of his previous school.

-Diana-
Bio: The embodiment of Kris's subconsious, Diana resembles a fairy. She helps him by giving him advice in a bind, usually giving him two or more options to choose from.

-Yuko Hanuto-
Bio: Teacher of Kris's class. A very mature woman with refined tastes. Especially in alcohol.

-Siana Laygs-
Bio;A very reserved girl; no one knows much about her, not even the all-knowing beasts: The Script Writers.

-Alex Shai-
Bio: The gay one. Student Teacher at the school.

-Seiko Kurusawa-
Bio: Bullies other girls, loud mouthed, attention seeker. Troubled Past and tends to block out others.

-Risa Utari-
Bio: Very polite and reserved girl. Tends to help others and doesn't always express her emotions to others.

These Character Bios are very broad and not very details. This is because the other Writer is lazy and this is what he gave me, sorry.

Programmer
We are in need of a programmer, someone who can take the story we write and put it into a game.
What we require
-As this project is free and we want to take our time with it there are NO deadlines. However, we still would like our team to give us regular feedback on how their work is going and if possible for them to partake in any conferences we might have whilst working.
-Be able to actually code, Don't lie. This seems stupid but we've already had an artist try to pawn off someone elses work as their own.

Artist
The Artist is our MAIN concern right now as we are taking steps to learn programming and music is something that can be easily done on our own but art on the other hand is something we'd like to be special to our game.
What we Require
-We are in need of the basics and anything else you'd like to add; CGs, BGs, Sprites, Menu Graphics, etc
-Along with your email a sample of your work would be nice, not required but it helps us get an understanding of your style.
-As I said before, there are no deadlines so take as much time as you need.

Musician/SoundGuy/Gal
We would love to have original music for our game but that isn't something we see happening. However, we are looking for a sound person, some one who is in charge of finding SFX, Music, the Doots and Deets.
What we Require
-In the email you send I'd like you to give me your favorite song, a bit weird I know but I'd like to know your tastes so it can make our lives easier when deciding on what to use.
-If you want to make music for us a sample is required, along with proof that it's yours.
-No deadlines just keep us posted.

To join/Apply send an email or pm to me, gez.cyn@gmail.com , stating what position you'd like and a bit about yourself, along with the required for each respective position. That is all, this mountain of text is done and its 5-AM, Bai o/

EDIT: Skype is a must, If you don't have it well... get it.

Not applying, but I notice that you and your other teammate have posted threads about the same project. I believe it's a rule to have one thread per project; that, and replies would be split between the two threads. For other people who are interested in helping you though: what have the both of you accomplished already? Is it just the synopsis and list of characters, or do you have an outline/GDD? If you are unable to find an artist but have the script ready for a demo, I suggest looking at the Creative Commons board of this forum for temporary placeholders.

As a personal note, I would not enjoy working with someone on a free endeavor if they were requesting help in such a demanding tone.

I saw that! It's only because of some recent run-ins with people mooching off of actual artist's artwork. Also, he just sounds like that sometimes. We just want this project to be perfect, you know? We're actually quite chill.

The Thread I posted was edited/removed. I'm unsure if you can actually remove threads so I left it. As for the one Doodleshy posted, he did so with out my knowledge and should be ignored. Also if I sound demanding I apologize, it's not because I am its rather that I typed this up after being up for 19 hours and wanted to finish it as fast as possible so I could sleep.

Hi there!
The mystery of the plot got my attention, so I'd be glad to help in cases of CGs and Sprites^^
Examples of both can be found here:viewtopic.php?f=62&t=38562

Man, this topic is old. Well, after a long hiatus with no work getting done, I have resumed production with a new writer. We still need other things, but I'm going to wait until we get a story going. If anyone is interested, I will give a link to the new and improved character list. Be warned, though, it may contain possible spoilers for the VN.
