I'm looking for an all star team of artists, coders, cheerleaders, and whatever-you-call-those-people-that-feed-you-grapes (servants?) to join me and my good friend r-bit's team for this weekend's Asylum Jam. We'll have 48 hours to do this thing. The working title of our game is Save Zoey. It's about a girl who has to find her sister in a haunted house after hours with the help of a boy who works there. Navigate the creepy hallways and uncover the mystery of the cult who once called the haunted house home. Will you be able to save Zoey before the end of the night?
The Team So Far:
I'm no stranger to writing stories or developing games while under a deadline. I've participated in Nanoreno twice (the most recent release being The Mishka Effect), won #3 overall in a narrative game jam for my Twine story Draw Everything You See That's Mine and Yours, created this Twine for a game jam last year, and my spooky story Fine, Fine, Fine was featured on the DeviantArt front page. For more about me and to see some other projects that I'm working on, you can visit my website here.
r-bit, our trusty editor, is new to the scene, but is already hitting the ground running. This will be an excellent debut of r-bit's skills.
Together, she and I will be doing the writing, editing, and some basic coding as necessary. We plan on finishing our story outline by Thursday, but we are open to our teammates' input.
Please note that while this project is unpaid, we are offering ourselves up for skill trading. You scratch our backs and we'll scratch yours. In other words, you draw for us, and we'll write for you. This could be the start of an ongoing partnership.
We are Looking For...
Sprite Artist - we're allowing a lot of room for creative freedom with this position. What we're generally looking for is something grungey. One shoulders up side-sprite image of a teenage girl with 3-5 expressions, one waist-up sprite of a 10-12 year old girl (Zoey) with 3-5 expressions, one waist-up sprite of a hooded figure, and one waist-up sprite of a teenage boy with 3-5 expressions.
Background (BG) Artist - we plan on there being 3-4 haunted house BGs. We need a hallway, an altar room for a sacrifice, and a general room that we can reuse for different scenes.
GUI Artist - Textbox, main menu, save/load screens, etc. It's a plus if you can code it all but if you can't, that is okay!
Programmer - Someone that can code in the GUI and do any last minute coding that we need to do. The game is going to be choice-based and rather basic, though.
Musician/SFX Wizard - Very important.
CG Artist - Someone that can illustrate key events.
How Will We Work?
The team will meet over Skype and share files through Dropbox & Google Drive.
