[Paid] Hiring Second CG Artist (CLOSED)

#1 Post by Googaboga »

Thank you for checking this out! Since the success of our Kickstarter we’ve had multiple new positions open up at GB Patch Games for the Our Life project. Our Life is a nostalgic Visual Novel where you create your own character and grow from childhood to adulthood with the lonely boy next door.

Update: We've closed all the positions. Thank you so much to everyone who applied! They'll will be more roles open in the future and you're welcome to apply again then.

General Info:
The payment amount for all positions will be set by the applicant! We’ll need to know your rates.
Money will be sent through Paypal.
We’ll update this form whenever a position has closed.
We’ll reply to applicants’ emails to let them know we got their message, but we won’t be able to inform everyone when a position has been filled. Please check back here if you’re curious about the current state of a position.
When emailing an application please include the name of the project (Our Life) and the title of the position(s) you’re applying for.
You can read more about the project and try out a demo for it here: https://gbpatch.itch.io/our-life

CG Artist-
CLOSED

We’re looking for an artist to help get the game’s CGs finished!

Job Details:
Mimicking the style already in the game.
Doing at least 12 CGs in 10 months, potentially more.
Creating images with backgrounds, characters, and variations from the base version (different expressions, hairstyles, etc).
Keeping the pieces on seperate layers so the different variations can be mixed and matched.
Drawing characters of different ages; children, teens, and adults.

Most CG images will have one character that’s bust-up or half body. In rare cases two characters will be in one image. The main love interest, Cove, will be the character drawn the most. A feature of the game is that Cove has different looks, each of those will have to be drawn and included as separate layers for the CGs that feature him.

Application Info to Send:
Rates for a base CG (background with a character).
Rates for adding an extra character.
Rates for alterations (extra expressions, new hairstyles, different outfits).
Examples of your previous work.
A mention of prior experience working on Visual Novels, if applicable.
A link to your social media, or website, or some other place where your work is uploaded. Later in the application process we’ll need to get in touch through one of your official pages so we can confirm the person who emailed us is really you and not someone just pretending to have created the work.

Original Ending Song-
CLOSED

We’re looking for a musician, lyricist, singer, and sound mixer to create/perform an original ending song!

Job Details:
The song will be 1:30 to 3:00 minutes long.
The positions are pretty straightforward. The musician will create the backing track, the lyricist will write the words, the singer will sing the lyrics, the sound mixer will put it all together into a single song.
The singer can be any gender with any voice pitch. We’re not looking for a specific type.
Each position could be filled by a separate person, or one person could be hired for multiple positions.
After being hired for one position the work for that job will need to be finished within a few months or less.
The more jobs a person is doing, the longer of a timeframe they’ll have to complete the jobs.

The song will play during the ending credits of Our Life. We’d like it to be soft and relaxing and smooth. The themes would be nostalgia, memories, the beach/ocean, summer, growing up, looking forward to the future, living life, togetherness, special moments, and romance. Not all of those have to be fit into the song, but we’d like a least a few.

Application Info to Send:
Which position(s) relating to the ending song you’re interested in.
Examples of your previous work. You’ll need to have worked on at least one song with lyrics before. I’m afraid we can’t accept those who have only composed/mixed lyricless songs.
Rates for composing, writing, singing, and/or mixing a song.
A link to your social media, or website, or some other place where your work is uploaded. Later in the application process we’ll need to get in touch through one of your official pages so we can confirm the person who emailed us is really you and not someone just pretending to have created the work.

Script Expander-
CLOSED

We’re looking for someone to improve and expand the script!

Job Details:
Going over several scripts (5,000-10,000 words or so each) and writing a few hundred to a couple thousand extra words for each within a 10 month timeframe.
Adding new choice options, scene alterations, and creating references to the custom character created by the player.
Reading scripts that are in Renpy programmed format.

Our Life has a second person (a narrator referring to the MC as “you”) perspective in the past tense (“you smiled”). The game is customization and choice heavy. There’s already a pretty high amount of ways to influence the character and events, but we’d like to add even more. So you’d go over the script to tack on more choice possibilities/scene branches to the already written events. Some additions can be brand new and some can be expansions of content already there.

The scripts are written to function inside the Ren’Py engine. They’re not pure text. There’s also some non-linear ordering of events. The programmed text can be sent in a Word Doc file, a Google Doc, and/or as an RPY file.

Application Info to Send:
Rates for script expansion writing.
Examples of your prior writing work, especially in terms of descriptive writing.
A mention of prior experience working on Visual Novels, if applicable.
A link to your social media, or website, or some other place where your work is uploaded. Later in the application process we’ll need to get in touch through one of your official pages so we can confirm the person who emailed us is really you and not someone just pretending to have created the work.



And to see references for the art and examples for the types of song we have in mind, please check out a Google Doc we set up:

Those of us who applied to the first CG artist position still need to apply for the second CG artist position again?

@MGO

Hey! Please do reapply if you'd like to be considered. It's been quite a while since we last hired an artist for OL and we wouldn't want to assume people from back then are still available/interested nowadays. If you are, you're welcome to get in touch.

@ChieDemoniac

Thank you so much for applying! I really appreciate the interest. We did find an artist we felt was a very close match to the in-game look so we're not able to bring you on board this time. But you're always welcome to apply for future positions, if you're still interested.
