Hi! I'll link you to our thread immediately:
Ens Causa Sui WIP thread
Update: In the interest of showing editors my work, here's the first part of Scene I. Writing is completely devoid of narration, and I'm relying entirely on dialogue, art and sounds to bring across ideas:
Google Drive link!
Update2: We've got our editor, and we've got a crew of VAs! Just looking for a composer!
So who are you?
We're Applegate and Chocojax. While I'm in charge of writing and planning, Chocojax is in charge of coding and artwork. Both of us have experience releasing Visual Novels:
Applegate's released:
Reaching Out, a story about bullying.
Nice Day, a story about regrets (and having a nice day regardless).
Of Love and You, a story about friendship.
Eye Love, a short dare scene.
Chocojax's released:
A Simple Love Story, a simple story of love.
So as you can see, we're a duo that's actually gotten some stuff done!
So why are you working together?
Choco and I've known each other for years, before either of us even touched Ren'Py or other VN making software. We've been encouraging each other for a while now, and now are moving forward with a collaboration, hoping that together we can make something better than either of us individually.
But you still need help.
That's right. Choco can do Artwork and Coding, but not Music or Sound Effects. I can do Writing, and a little Artwork. I'm hopeless with Music and Sound Effects, and when it comes to writing, I don't trust myself to edit my own work to a sufficient degree. That's why we want help in those areas.
So what do you need, precisely?
We need:
Music expert: I have no idea what this role is normally called, but we're looking for a composer to write music, but also someone knowledgeable on Sound Effects and when to use them. You don't need to be proficient at both, as we're mainly looking for a composer (and can guess at SFX in a pinch). We guesstimate the amount of songs needed at around 5, needing no vocals. As the story can be classified as a drama in some parts, we're looking for touching music. The exact amount of songs needed can be decided after a good talk about wants/needs and what you can offer.
And what can I get out of it?
Neither Choco nor I have deep pockets, so money isn't possible. However, we're both experienced individuals when it comes to Visual Novels, and we'd be happy to offer our skills in return for yours. We'd be happy to discuss the exact terms of compensation, depending on what you're looking for. We can take pictures of paper for you!
I want to be involved, but my skill isn't listed!
If you have something you'd like to offer, we'd be happy to hear it! Understand, though, we're aiming for minimums here that we think we need to get Ens Causa Sui working in the way we envision. Anything on top of that is icing on the cake, which we're happy to have but not holding out for.
Sounds great, how do I contact you?
By posting in this thread, since I recall rules prohibit threads that ask you to PM us or otherwise use off-board means of contact. Once we've agreed to work together, communication runs through a Skype group chat. (Text, calls not necessary.)
