[OPEN] Team looking for BG artist for Ghost Ship visual novel
Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2021 5:59 pm
Hello, I hope you are doing well!
Project outline:
We are a small team of 4 who are currently working on a short, free to play visual novel. The project is currently in a state where it is fully playable from start to finish. The entire narrative is written and placed within the Renpy engine. We are currently using stockholder sprites, backgrounds, music tracks, and sound effects in the meantime. The game is roughly an hour long, if you play through all the routes and see all the player choices, it is roughly two hours. While we still need to do a decent bit of polishing and need to add some features, the game's scope is completely defined and like I said above, you can already play it from start to finish! We are currently working away at making character sprites, music tracks, and polishing up the writing and code.
Our plan is to release the game 100% free on itch.io. The very rough deadline is Fall 2021, but really our goal is to just have it finished by the end of the year.
Workload:
We need 6 backgrounds total. Nearly all of them take place on board the ghost ship, with just one taking place on a cliffside beach. Half of the backgrounds are interior locations, half of them are exterior locations.
Game description:
Our game is about a young college student who finds himself trapped in purgatory.
After a potentially fatal accident during vacation, a young college student finds himself trapped within purgatory. This version of purgatory happens to be on board a ghost pirate ship. The longer one stays on the ship, the more ghost-like they become. He must work with the handful of ghosts that remain on the ship to figure out how to return to the land of the living. Some have been on the ship for decades. Some for years. Some for only a few months. Your only option is to talk with the ghosts who remain on the ship to piece together how to leave. A stern, rugged boat Captain. An energetic, young paranormal investigator. A cold, arrogant and brutally honest high school girl. And a mysterious young woman who speaks only in Haikus. They say that if you jump overboard you never return to the ship. But what really happens when you go under the water?
If this project is something you are interested in or if you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out! If you are not a BG artist but are still interested in the project, still feel free to reach out, I'd love to chat with ya! You can shoot me a DM on here or over on discord (TJ Lounge#9776). Thanks for taking the time to learn about our project!
