The project tells the story of a young man who meets a mysterious girl from the stars on a brutal battlefield. In a world filled with loss, sacrifice, and conflict, the two gradually form a deep bond and search for hope while trying to protect the people and things that matter to them.

The game focuses heavily on emotional storytelling, atmosphere, character relationships, and the contrast between the cruelty of war and the warmth found between people.

Through writing, artwork, and music, I hope to create a memorable journey that can stay with players even after the story has ended.

“War is merely another form in which divine punishment descends upon the world.”

Current Development Status

The project is currently preparing to enter its production stage.

The main story, characters, world setting, and overall direction have already been established. I am now looking for like-minded creators from anywhere in the world who would be interested in helping bring this story to life.

Currently Looking For

Writers / Narrative Designers
2D Artists / Illustrators
Composers / Music Creators

Art Requirements

I hope to work with artists who are familiar with anime-style 2D cel-shaded artwork.

The visual direction of the project is mainly focused on an anime-inspired style, so experience with character illustrations, CG artwork, backgrounds, or similar work would be greatly appreciated.

Having a portfolio or examples of previous work in a similar style would be preferred.

You do not necessarily need to be a professional artist. What matters most is having a basic understanding of this visual style and being willing to communicate and work together.

Music Requirements

I hope to work with composers who are comfortable creating music for different emotions and situations.

For example, the game may require music that feels:

Peaceful and quiet
Warm and emotional
Melancholic
Lonely
Tense
Tragic
Dramatic
Hopeful
Related to war or large-scale conflict

Since music will play an important role in shaping the atmosphere of the story, I hope to find someone who enjoys using music to support emotions, characters, and storytelling.

Writers / Narrative Designers

The project already has its main story, characters, setting, and general structure.

Writers would mainly help with areas such as:

Dialogue polishing
Scene writing
Character interactions
Emotional scenes
Story presentation
Additional narrative ideas and discussion

You do not need to completely rewrite the existing story.

What I value most is someone who enjoys storytelling, is willing to communicate, and is interested in the themes of the project.

Collaboration / Compensation

This is currently an unpaid passion project.

At the moment, I am unable to offer paid compensation, so I want to make this completely clear from the beginning.

The project is being created out of a shared love for games, storytelling, art, and music, with the goal of completing something meaningful together.

There is no strict professional experience requirement.

What matters most to me is that you:

Genuinely enjoy creating
Are interested in the project
Are willing to communicate with the team
Can take the project seriously
Want to work together toward completing the game

Students, hobbyists, beginners with some experience, and independent creators are all welcome.

If you are looking for a paid freelance job, this project may unfortunately not be suitable for you at the moment.

However, if you want to gain experience, build your portfolio, create something together with other passionate developers, or simply love visual novels and storytelling, you are very welcome to contact me.

About the Project

This is an independent visual novel centered around themes such as:

War / Bonds / Loss / Love / Humanity / Hope

Although war is an important part of the setting, the story is not only about battles.

At its core, it is about people trying to remain human in a cruel world, and about how even a small amount of warmth can become something precious in the middle of despair.

I am developing this project from China, but I am very happy to meet and collaborate with creators from different countries and backgrounds.

More details about the story, characters, worldbuilding, development plan, and collaboration can be discussed privately.

If you are interested in joining the project, please feel free to contact me and introduce yourself.

If possible, please also include some examples of your previous work or tell me what area you would like to help with.

Thank you very much for reading!

I hope we can create this journey about war, bonds, loss, and hope together.
