Hello! To whoever is reading this, thank you for looking into it!

A Bit About Me:

You can call me Cleo. I am 18 and I started playing visual novels quite some time back. Now I think I am ready to make one of my own. However doing so alone is pretty complicated. So I decided to ask on itch.io for some help. I'll segment everything I have to say in proper sections for the ease of navigation.

About The Project:

  • Engine: Ren'Py
  • Genre: 18+ Adult Visual Novel
  • Status: Pre-Production (plot outline, initial ideas about the story are ready)
  • Tone: This will be a mature story that explores controversial topics and psychological depth. While it will feature explicit adult content and intense imagery, absolutely no illegal content will be included.

Roles Needed:

I am looking for committed team members, who wish to build a standout portfolio piece and share in the Project's success. The following list is in the descending order of priority for my current needs, however everyone will be respected and be given adequate division of work.

  • 2D Semi-Realistic Lead Artist[CRITICAL NEED]: Since my own art skills are non-existent, the Lead Artist will be in charge of visuals
  • Co-Writer/Editor: I am handling the primary script and dialogue, but it would be great if someone was there to help us improve the storyline and polish the writings. Two brains are better than one!
  • Proofreader & Play Tester: After completion of each scene or any significant part, I would require someone vigilant enough to figure out the small bugs or glitches before release.
  • Tech Support/Ren'Py Programmer: I do know the basics and actively learning, but having an experienced Programmer to help with the custom UI or complex variables will be a game-changer.

If you wish to apply for any other position feel free to contact me, I will certainly get back to you ASAP!

Division of Payment:

This project is currently unfunded, operating as a collaborative freelance partnership.

  • Fair-Splitting of Revenue: This project will be a partnership between 4-5 people, including me. Once the game is launched, the pay will be divided, reflecting the amount of contribution. 
  • Flexible Schedule: Initially it will be a freelance group project. I will never ask you to dedicate all your time here, just enough so that the project doesn't fall apart. I would like committed people to come forward who will not ghost the project.

 We can of course discuss everything you need to know or ask.

Conclusion:

I sincerely hope to find at least an Artist and an Author for now, thank you for your time, I hope it will be a great journey for everyone who joins the project, and everyone has a good time! 

To Apply: Drop a Comment or a DM, stating your role of choice, availability and experience (even if you have 0 experience you will be considered). 

Any further queries can be contacted on my Discord: caffeinsomniac

I'd be interested in being the artist for this! I currently have a pretty open schedule and I dont have a whole lot of experience but I have been doing illustration and art for a long time haha

Here is my portfolio if you want to take a look: mstrtoast.ca

HI! I'd also be interested in being the artist for this, I have some experience with character sprites and designing them, though it is fairly limited.

I'm pleased to see your reply, we can certainly work with more artists. Please contact me on my Discord: caffeinsomniac to discuss more!

will do!

Hi,  I would love to help write! I've been trying to get my friends to get together to make a game, but with their crazy schedules that has been pretty hard. I have a good amount of availability, and while I don't have a lot of experience writing for games I write a lot academically and for social media and have been told that I am a pretty good storyteller from friends and family. I am trying to get back into writing for pleasure, and have been wanting to make a game after playing so many amazing games here on itch.io! 

I'm pleased to see your reply, we can certainly work with a co-author. Please contact me on my Discord: caffeinsomniac to discuss more!

Hi Cleo, I'm interested in the proofreader and play tester position if it is still available. I've got over 15 years of experience working in QA and operations testing software and finding bugs before they reach users. I'm really good at catching typos, inconsistencies, and glitches that break the experience, since it's what I do professionally.

I'd love to help make your VN polished before launch. I do have limited free time, but I can definitely make this work.

Hit me up if you want to chat more!

Hello, I'm interested in the Tech Support/Ren'Py programmer. I've been working with Ren'Py on my own, but I'd like to start working with a team. I'm a computer engineer and mainly a software developer, so I can help around more complex variables and coding on Ren'py and Python. : )

Text me on discord to talk further, the ID is provided in the post!
