For some jobs we might even pay you!
But first, I'm guessing you'll want to know what we're working on that you'd be helping with.
Right now we're in the early stages of two projects: (further information is classified)
"Be careful when venturing into the darkest corners of the subconscious...
You might not find your way out again..."
Sequel to "The Loop"
Type: Point-and-click puzzler
Themes: Psychological Horror, Mindfuck
"Dr. Evelyn Williams enjoys her quiet life in the pathology lab.
So, when she suddenly finds herself abducted by an alien race, it's a bit too much to take...
But when they look and act just like humans, where do you draw the line?"
Type: Visual Novel
Themes: Romance, Sci-fi, GxG
Right, now let's get to the positions that are open.
I should note that while I'm ready to start recruiting for these positions, you may not be able to actually get started until the results from another position are in, or if otherwise delays occur, so please only apply if you're a regular.
Another reason for this is that I value communication far more than keeping to a deadline. For paid positions I always ask to keep in touch at least once a week. For unpaid positions, you don't owe me anything, but it would obviously be appreciated.
Payment is negotiable for all paid positions. Nonpayment is not negotiable for unpaid positions.
You must provide adequate credentials for your position of choice.
Advisory Roles
While I don't really require any actual writing, I need a reliable general advisor for the project.
I do have faith in my abilities as a writer, but a reliable individual has informed me of some problems
in the story that could use work. Basically, I need an objective source of critique to keep me posted
on the quality of the work as well as what areas need improvement. Right now, I'm having the most
trouble with writing believable females, being a guy myself, so if you're female it's a definite plus.
It's unpaid work, but you'll only be required to read through the script and provide in-depth advice.
In addition, this will be a commercial project so you'll be entitled to free copies, and if you prove yourself
invaluable, additional compensation may yet be provided.
Editor-in-chief for The Madness: [unpaid]
While I'm not experiencing any particular issues at this stage, I've personally experienced the vast
benefits of having a trusted source of objective commentary. The Madness will be less story-oriented
and a lot more focussed on puzzles, so it's obviously a plus if you're into that. In addition, it will
feature some rather disturbing content, so be warned.
Expert Specialists: [unpaid]
While I always do my research, and I like to think I'm a fairly intelligent guy,
sometimes that's not enough. If any of the following traits or knowledge areas
apply for you, I would appreciate if you would step in to give advice on that field.
Warning: The exact span of this position is unknown, due to me not being able
to know how far off my own research is.
For In Orbit:
- Medical expertise/Pathology
- Military expertise
- Anthropology
- Female
- Lesbian
For The Madness:
- Psychology
- Batshit insane
Artists
The exact span of the workload is unknown at this point, but since the project is noncommercial,
I will be keeping it limited. Backgrounds will not be required, as I am rendering them in 3d as I did
for The Loop, but you will be required to draw certain images into backgrounds as though they were CG's.
Warning: This requires some very disturbing imagery, both in terms of gore and psychological.
Only apply if you are will to draw almost anything. (No sexually explicit images required)
There will be a number of framed oil paintings in the game. I need an artist who can produce images
with such an oil-painting-like feel. High detail is not required. Some paintings will need variations on them.
Artistic freedom varies prom painting to painting, and they range from portraits to scenery.
Some "artistically explicit" content required. Resolution is 347x448.
Not actually a photography job. The game will feature a few photographs, and I need an artist to draw them.
There will be some minor specifications you must keep to, but otherwise a lot of creative freedom is granted.
I need four of images. Resolution is 446x315. Low detail requirement. No characters depicted, just scenery.
I'm looking for someone to design the GUI for In Orbit. The story has a somewhat serious tone, so I'm aiming for
something somewhat minimalistic, but professional quality work.
Writers
You will be required to write 8 very short passages that can pass for excerpts of larger novels.
(No more than a page... think about 2 pages of a Skyrim book)
They must incorporate certain specified themes/clues but you will be largely free otherwise.
However, this position cannot start immediately. Undetermined possibility for additional future work as well.
Various
I need some footage from a running fullscreen Ren'Py project recorded and, despite my best efforts, have failed to
accomplish this. So, I will send you a Ren'Py project. You just need to run it, record the footage to a video file and
send it back to me. That's it. That's all you have to do.
That's it. Apply by any means you please, but note that I will hold standards even for unpaid work.
Deadlines will not be set, but as I mentioned, continuous communication is asked.
Thanks for your consideration!
