I'm the developer for a project called Castaways, it has been in development for some time now (about two years!) and is nearly complete. Everything is finished except for a few CGs which are currently being worked on, and the three BGs that we need some help with! It will be a free game when released, so unfortunately I can't offer anything except eternal gratitude and your name on the credits - but it's a very cool project, so I sincerely hope that you'll be interested in coming on board!
The game is an otome based on crash-landing on a tropical island. There are six routes available in total to play, but only four will be available in each playthrough, which gives the game tons of replayability - especially given that the guys have plenty of interpersonal relationships between themselves, and the dynamic is different every time depending on who you have with you. Say, for example, you have two big personalities who tend to butt heads, this can absorb a lot of the group's attention, but if you take one of them out of the equation it can show the other in an entirely different light. Similarly, getting stranded with only the quieter personalities can make some people step up into the spotlight and take control. This is a really unique project, and the art and assets are all original.
The game has a playable alpha so you will be able to play through before drawing the BGs and give any feedback on the routes, the interactions or anything else, as I love to have input from my partners - your name's going to be on the game as well, so I want to make sure it's as great as it possibly can be.
I'm looking for an artist to do three BG scenes, similar to the placeholders which you'll see when you initially play through the alpha:
- A swanky hotel with sunbeds on the beach (day and night)
- A private spot on that same beach, further away from the hotel, very romantic (night only)
- A Japanese-style shrine in a forest (day only)
Please DM me if you are interested or would like any further info
