Hello there!
We’re currently working on a horror soviet-themed visual novel.
What is the game about?
The game, without expressing many details is about the horrors of that era to religious people.
Concepts and stories from different backgrounds will be used in the game. Such as deadly and heavenly sins and virtues, history and culture of soviet times, Mennonite settlements, demons and hallucinations, and much more.
What do you add to the team?
There are currently five people working on this project.
I have shipped several android games and applications for the past 3 years. My tasks will mostly be development, writing and game design.
Two people are focusing on Writing, and one on Art. Last one is an additional help for development. We all pitch in on game design and mechanics, sometimes on story as well.
What is the current stage of the game? What are future milestones?
A mini prototype of the game has already been released on Android. The game was released as a CYOH, fully textual. After I met the artist we have decided to rework the story and add art to make it a visual novel. We’re planning to release the game in chapters rather than one big chunk. Our deadline for the first chapter is late 2019.
We’ve managed to produce a small VN-like prototype, and we’re working hard on finishing the scenes of the first chapter. But we’re still working on game design, choices, characters, narrative and more. And we’re planning to release the game on Android (Maybe iOS) and PC.
What kind of talents do you need?
You definitely DON’T have to be the best at your trade! Even theoretical knowledge is acceptable as long as you’re willing to learn and do your part.
1- Artist - Help existing artist in terms of 2D Environment creation, GUI, Character creation and more.
2- Producer/Administrator - In charge of documentation and GDD, social media marketing and community creation and management. Graphic design knowledge is desired.
3- Anything you think could benefit the game production!
What am I getting in return?
1- The fun of seeing something small growing into something bigger the more you work into it! (That applies to dogs and kids too I guess)
2- Appropriate percentage of Rev-Share between all joining members as the game will be shipped in two versions, the free one with ads and the paid without. on itch, Google Play Store, App Store, Humble Bundle (Possibly GOG + Steam).
Thank you for reading,
Haytham
