Hello! I’m Chanda with Visual Butterfly. I’m looking for people to join my team to work on Aella of Athens.
Some background about Aella of Athens is that it was entered in NaNoReno 2020+ and has since taken a break. The major issues I seem to be running into is the current platform which was used as the customization is limited as well as BG placeholders. Since everyone’s contribution was volunteered, I wanted it to stay free.
The game takes place prior to the marriage of Hades and Kore (Persephone) and they have no relation to each other as far as blood relation.

Please be aware that when applying for this project that mental health is involved and triggers like suicide, multiple underlying disorders are present, depression, etc are written within the game’s text.
Editor/Proofreader [2] – I have someone on board as an editor already, but she is busy at this moment. It will be nice to have more people on board.
BG Artist [1] – The game is set in 450 BC Athens. By looking at the demo, the house BG, outdoor dining BG, etc are not at all relevant to the times.
Coder [1] – The platform the game had been using was Tyranobuilder, but it will be switching over to Ren’py. I was the main coder, but I would like someone to help me as I have never coded with Ren’py before.

For anyone applying to these positions, please keep in contact. It’s all I ask to keep updated on your progress, so I’m not incessantly in your DMs looking for answers.
Set around 450 BC, following the story of a fugitive Princess of Athens, Aella wonders aimlessly to find her purpose. With nowhere to return, she only has herself and her trusted wind gods, The Anemoi, to rely on. On her journey, she comes across two individuals who change the course of her fate. Whether she chooses to stay with either of them is up to you.
Secrecy, Desire, Hidden Motives, and most of all Romance awaits Aella on her adventure.

Aella is the playable heroine who tries to make sense of her destiny. Aella has been told much, but she has a discerning eye for lies. Traveling aimlessly throughout Athens, she’s meeting people and following her heart to get the answers she needs.
A God with no goal in life. He has many circling rumors. He’s known for his harem, his lies, his manipulative behavior, and his cheating ways. However, what is true about this God underneath the rumors, very few actually know.
The Other Zeus, The Unseen One, Aidoneus, a plethora of epithets to go by. He lives in the darkness as a mere shadow. It is something he has been used to as well as what he desperately wishes to leave behind.
A naïve Goddess untainted and divine as many know her. However, what she’s really like can only be discovered by those she trusts. Kore is a beauty who wants to see the world but is constrained through duty and her mother.
A venomous Goddess, filled with a burning love for her husband, Zeus. Her jealousy has driven her to get rid of competition for eons. With the pretense of protecting Zeus from getting hurt by humans who mean him harm, she has eliminated many.
A secretive Harvest Goddess. Much like Hades she has kept to herself down below Olympus growing crops with her newfound daughter. Hiding Kore, protecting Kore but for what reason? The once jovial woman but a fragment of who she once was.
I am a slow worker motivated by a deadline for NaNoRenO 2020 to get the demo out. With that said, I wasn’t able to finish the entire demo from the timeline I had planned with my carpal tunnel.
I will be writing, scripting, coding as well as working with the VA. I’ve never used Ren’py, so I’m not familiar with Python, but I’m more than willing to learn.

We will be making the switch for the game from Tyranobuilder to Ren’py. There have been a lot of issues I saw with Tyranobuilder which showed in the final demo of the game. It didn’t affect gameplay, but it did affect the visual aspect.
