Contract of Cards ~Joker~ ❥ Looking for partners!

#1 Post by Rikka Pro » Sat Sep 10, 2016 7:32 pm

Hello! I currently have a project titled Contract of Cards ~Joker~. It is a G x B visual novel produced by Rikka Project, and it will be the debut project. Therefore, I would like to make this project a reality and something that fans can play completely for free of charge. Because this project is free, you will not be receiving any physical payment in exchange for your work, but you will be properly credited for the work that you do.

Project Information.

To view more information on the project, you can visit the thread located in the Ideas sub-forum. It contains the Synopsis, Summary, Spoiler-free character descriptions and an F.A.Q section. More updates can be found on Rikka Project's social media page.

Recruitment Positions.

Writers: I am looking for writers who can (1) develop the plot and character backgrounds and helping out with brainstorming ideas, and (2) write the script. I am looking for multiple writers, so writing the routes will be split between multiple writers. Although there are only 5 routes, they will be rather long. Writers are highly preferred to have Gmail accounts and an active use of Google Drive.

CG artists: I am looking for multiple CG artists, as only having one artist may be a bit overwhelming, and so I want to split the workload. I am planning for there to be about 33-43 CGs total, so I am looking for 3 or 4 CG artists (with a similar style artwork) to split the workload.

Background artist: I am looking for someone who can do the backgrounds of the game with different variations. There won't be an overwhelming amount of backgrounds, but there will be a considerable amount of outdoor backgrounds in addition to a few indoor.

Graphics artist: I am looking for somebody who can (1) produce an original logo for the game, and (2) create the Graphical User Interface (better known as GUI design), which includes creating the basic screens, and a few more additional ones: that includes a CG gallery screen, credits screen, and a possible music room.

Translators: I am currently looking for people who can translate the script from English to Japanese. If I find some translators whom are able to translate into Japanese, there may be voice acting in Japanese incorporated throughout the game. If not, I would at least like to seek out Japanese voice actors to do partial voicings.

Composer: I am looking for someone who can compose original music that will end up being used in the game. I am looking for a mostly orchestral type of music, maybe with some acoustics mixed in as well for the main theme and a few other pieces. It is preferable if you know how to compose songs, but it is by all means not required.

Japanese voice actors: I am looking for five male voice actors, preferably voice actors that are able to fluently speak Japanese. This position may be handed out to people by audition, though I am not entirely sure. Any and every one is welcome to apply though. It is preferable if voice actors know how to sing, but it is by all means not required.

Other: If there are any other skill-sets you are willing to offer for this game, then that is also great. I am willing to hear you out on what you are experienced in, and we can work something out so then you are able to contribute to the development of the game.

Application.

There are multiple ways to contact me: (1) email me at rikka-project@hotmail.com, (2) private messaging me on this site, and/or (3) replying to this thread. You will receive the fastest reply if you send your application via email, although- depending on the number of applicants- it may take a few days as well to be able to give a definitive response. Please make sure to include some previous or mock samples of your work corresponding to the position(s) you are applying for in your email/private message/reply.
Other Information.
☙ I am in the CST time zone.
☙ Communication will be mainly via Ryver, and sometimes email if need be.
☙ This project is going to be a long project, but I will try my best to ensure that you will not be overwhelmed by the workload (I understand school is going on).
☙ I look forward to hearing from you!

The prologue is done (the unedited version)! For those who would like a writing sample, there is a short excerpt provided down below. I am still looking for many positions, so if you are interested, please send me a private message, or contact me via email at rikka-project@hotmail.com; I hope to be working with you soon on this project!
    ???. “I know you, Airi, but you don’t know me.”
    ???.“It’s probably better if you don’t.”
    Airi. “Why?”
    ???. “...”
    ???. “When the time is right, I promise to be there to comfort you.”
    Airi. “...!”

Those words…

They sound so familiar. Where have I heard them before? From my parents?

No, they would probably never say something like that to me. They never really paid any attention to me. So, why does it sound so familiar?

As I am pondering over his simple statement, he reaches in his pocket and hands me a deck of cards. I look at the deck dubiously.

    Airi. “... Why do you have a deck of cards?”
    ???. “Because I always keep my promises.”

Hello! I wanted to ask, since you are looking for CG artists with a similar style, do you perhaps already have a sprite artist? Since then one might be able to see what style you are looking for (since sprite & cg art usually are similar) or if you still need one!

Best of luck for finding people, i look forward to this game! <3

Hello!

I plan on posting updates regarding art as we go along with progress. Yes, I do have a sprite artist, but she prefers to stay anonymous until October at the latest. I will say that it is heavily leaning towards anime-style art. Thank you, I hope you continue to support the game as we go along.

Hello!

Yes, I have a sprite artist. Any positions that are not on there is closed. The sprite artist has also offered to do the CGs, but I am looking for another person to assist her, since I believe doing 33-43 CGs is quite overwhelming for one person to do alone. Feel free to let me know of any other questions!

Best,
Rikka.
