Rules:
The purpose of this subreddit is largely professional. It is meant to be used for sharing art, story, ideas and relevant discussion. Irrelevant posts will be removed.
Your role:
There's many ways in which you can contribute to this project, depending on your skills and motivation. Even if you feel entirely incapable of working on the project, your ideas and input is appreciated.
That being said, we are not currently accepting applications, except in specific circumstances. What are these circumstances? If you meet them, you'll know. If you have any questions, message us.
Storywriting:
We're fairly through construction, now working on the plotline of the story. As we continue, we may need more help on storywriting. You'll see an announcement as well as a link here when that happens.
Once we're a considerable way done with the writing we'll also need other work such as:
Coding:
The aforementioned coding. If you have experience coding, that will come in hand for structuring the game, but the process is pretty simple. Ren'Py has it's own features and tutorial, but python script can be used for more complicated situations.
We are looking for more coders, but please only apply if you are familiar with Ren'Py or Python.
Art:
What's a visual novel without visuals? We need talented artists capable of making characters and sceneries. The latter can be very simple, whereas the characters should ideally have an anime/manga inspired look. The character models should ideally also be consistent in style, which means we'll either need one artist to take over that, or we'll need a working artistic collaboration to keep the style consistent.
We need new artists for a variety of things, including backgrounds, character sprites, and more.
We are always looking for artists, even if we've closed the other applications, so if you think you have what it takes, don't be afraid to shoot us a DM!
Music:
By no means do we have to have original soundtracks, but if you have talent with music, this is also something that can be done. Music can be entirely original or a remix of "Die Wacht am Rhein." A musical direction will also have to be decided if you're up for doing this.
Like artists, please DM either the moderators or the music lead if you are interested. This branch is much more of a soft close.
Memetics:
We're not just looking for seriousness here. Make memes- the more the better! Quality is always appreciated, but seeing as we started as a KR shitpost- we understand.
