Howdy, fellow creative enthusiasts and VN enjoyers!
As you can discern from the title, I am looking for an internet buddy (or a multiple) to complete this jam with. Someone to hold me accountable for staying true to deadlines, and a sacrificial lamb for proof-reading my narrative scripts before I commit to fleshing them out into hundreds of lines. You can be a 2D artist, sound designer, 3D artist, narrative writer, or a newbie trying it all. If you are also a curious traveler wanting to venture out of their comfort zone and temporarily trade solo-working for co-working, let’s boogie!
Given you do not know me, let me preface with my professional background. I have a masters degree in (the fine art of) videogames (code for for: I enjoy reading long, cryptic texts that explain at length why some mechanics work and others do not) and I have worked as a volunteer on a couple of titles. I am a 3D artist-generalist and I have likewise participated in a multitude of game jams both online and offline.
My go-to software are Blender for 3D and Clip Paint Studio for 2D. At game jams, I am usually deferred to the jack-of-all trades position, supplying whichever role is missing. One thing I cannot do on my own however, is music and sound VFX. I lack the patience to sit down and memorize the various composition rules… yeah, I would much rather bury my head in the sand than to have to compose a single more music loop.
Singular requirement is being an ADULT (note: being good at being an adult is not part of the requirement). The game itself is not going to be profane, it is just for my own peace of mind.
If I could be as bold as to have preferences, it would be lovely to have another co-writer or a co-artist. I am quite enthusiastic about space (SPAAAAAACE!!!), therefore the game I am wanting to create this month is a space-exploration meets horror. When it comes to assets and materials I have made so far other than the ovearching idea, I have the story split into individual beats, two characters (one of them being the player, got to be mindful of the scope), couple of locations and a few (barely working) scripts in RenPy for a circular dialogue UI. My current development plan involves modelling stylized 3D assets, making renders and drawing over them if needed.
Interested? You can hit me up at @sair_ath on Discord. Or you can leave your contact information below and I can reach you on whichever platform you find more appropriate.
Thank you for reading and I hope we shall both have splendid time during this jam!
