[CLOSED] Spooktober Recruitment Thread [SoL x Romance] [CG Arist]

#1 Post by Neeka »

Hello all, Neeka of OBP here! Currently searching for teammates for DevTalk's '21 Spooktober Game Jam!

Roles: [Open]

- CG Artist


About: Oh, Hallow's Eve (name pending) is a slice of life game featuring the nameable MC, who--as a new ex-Christian, gets to celebrate Halloween for the very first time by going to a party! Her goal is to be more outgoing and make friends (potentially even more), getting out of her hermit comfort zone. There are platonic/friendship and romantic endings with the cast. The story takes place for the duration of the party, split up by hours, with more concrete romance scenes in an epilogue.

Rating: PG-13 for cigarettes/smoking, alcohol, overall suggestiveness/innuendo/an uncomfortable situation due to inappropriate 'jokes' and more straightforward inappropriate talk. Nothing too explicit will be said (and nothing shown!). If you have any questions about this feel free to ask me and I'll be happy to clear some things up!

Cast:

MC: A new ex-Christian, who often refers to her old beliefs as a 'high control group' or cult. Is generally naïve and trusting, but is also honest and loyal. Looking to make new friends and break out of her shell.

Fairy: An ethereal woman whose caught MC's attention at the party. While she's the designated driver, she claims she doesn't need to drink to have a good time. Enjoys dancing and looking at crystals and precious gems. Middle-range voice.

Werewolf: An (ex) Jock caught chasing the highs of his old High School days. Despite his hulking build he's kind and caring, hating violence and injustice (though will use his fists if he has to). Middle-range voice.

Mage: A man who attends the Halloween party dressed as his D&D character, along with his other party. Likes cheesy jokes and discussing game world lore, trying his best to rope MC into promising to play a game with him. When it comes to confrontation he normally keeps his head down, but when it comes to MC he surprisingly finds himself standing up...Voice: Mid-to-high voice range.

Reggie: A strange punk who MC first meets in the bathroom, mistaking his dark eye circles as zombie makeup, despite not wearing a costume. Enjoys parties but for some reason he doesn't seem to be enjoying this one, that is, until MC comes along. Voice: Mid-range.

Jerk Cat: A through-and-through jerk who thinks cat ears are a costume. Has a posse that hangs on to his every word, and he's never not seen without a drink in his hand. Can tell the awful suggestive tone and 'jokes' he makes are due to his personality, not the drink. Ends up locking eyes with MC and is determined not to let her slip by...Voice: Mid-to-Deep range.

Roles, In Depth:

- CG Artist: Responsible for illustrating a minimum of 6 CGs; style wise would be similar to the sprite artist or style I'm searching for.

(See man illustration with red BG by our sprite artist, ghouldeloups: https://www.instagram.com/ghouldeloups/.


That's all of the roles! If you have ANY questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me! Via discord (Neeka#3115)

Hi Neeka! I tried sending you a friend request via Discord but I had trouble doing so.

My name is Joy, and I'm very interested in your project as well as the werewolf character! I'm a full-time freelance writer who is looking to build my portfolio.

I'm currently working as the lead writer of 3 other visual novel projects, 2 of which are longer-term so I'm looking for something to write in the meantime.

You can contact me @ flowersforjoy#7168 I look forward to hearing from you.

8/26 Update:

Werewolf Route has been filled.

Still seeking CG Artist and Logo Artist.

I will post a document of example character lines for the potential VAs here + social media to better understand the characters and see lines that would be similar to what they'd be voicing in-game.

9/7 UPDATE:


Here is the updated VA information.

The Doc has character sample lines that would appear in-game as well as voice 'notes' and cues (such as buzzy, velvety, airy, 'blushing, stumbling on words', etc) with additional lines being provided afterwards if you have been selected to continue on.

For our female character we are first searching for a Black/BIPOC actress.

NOTE: There will be a live session/table reading, so please only apply if you are comfortable with that! Will be short, nothing strenuous or time consuming.

If you have any questions at all please feel free to reach out to me on Discord! (Neeka Z#3115)
