Greetings!
We're a small indie-team making an adult visual novel in Greek Mythology setting with strong focus on the plot and heavy topics. We currently have an alpha build of the demo: about 2 hours of gameplay with finished mini-games, 80% finished visuals (~80 CGs, ~20 BGs, ~10 characters 5-7 sprites each) and fully finished script. We also have detailed plan for the next update and a broader plan for later ones too. We've been working on it for about a year: me, the writer, and our artist. Main "vibes" of the game: "Witcher" book series, 1 and 2 "Gothic" games, Greek Mythology (duh) and ancient history.
So, what the hell do we need?
We're looking for people to improve the demo and\or work on the next update in advance.
We're interested in:
- Translators: we currently have a German, French, Ukrainian, Italian and Russian translators. Any other language — we would recieve you with a great welcome! Even if you don't have any experience, but wanna try — we would still glad to work with you!
- Artists: mainly we're looking for people to collaborate on and create CG scenes for the game.
- Testers: we're in dire need of people who would just play the damn thing, say where we
fucked upmade questionable project-choices and, well... just leave their opinions! We have a little survey for all who finished a game, it's about 10 minutes.
We don't look for full-time commitment, cause we cannot afford that, unfortunately.
Red-flags?
Allow me to start small~
First of all, it's a NSFW project, with all obvious consequences. Also, the game rises (or, at least, tries to rise, ha-ha) some dark topics, like: death, war, political intrigues, religion, family relationships, etc. There're no heavy gore, the project has no 'fetishes' it focuses on, but — still.
Now, the biggest: we have no budget so far. We do want to pay to all who would work with us, but only as rev-share or only after the release. Another biggy — we're using edited ai visuals in some places. Reason — again, we don't have enough budget to make enough high-quality visual elements for the game in reasonable time. We do want to get rid of it as the time goes on (or at least to reduce its usage to minimum), but right now we just cannot afford it. Still, the game does have its own unique artstyle, we do put great efforts to avoid the game looking as 'another ai slop AVN'.
...and that's all of them, yupp.
