[R>Artist 2D] [R>Programmer] Share Looking for a team for a big 2D open world visual novel game!

[anon0014]

Project:
- I'm working on a novel that I want to turn into an open-world 2D game. It takes place in a small town called Roseville. Players should be able to explore this town and go after objectives. This is gonna be a big project, with more than 20 characters and a complex storyline. We'll need to plan out the character arcs, the major plot points, and the overall narrative structure. It will take a lot of work, but we can create something engaging if we put in the effort.

Story:
- You can read part of my story

.

Looking for:
- A programmer/developer. I'm still not sure about which game engine to use, so I'm open to your suggestions. It can be anything from Renpy to Godot and Unity, as long as the final export has a high quality.
- A 2D artist. I will attach the styles I like below so you know what I'm looking for. I don't want to go for a sprite-based game because I believe we can't display the details of encounters. Still, I'm open to your suggestions.

Animated?:
- I'm still not sure. we can either go for detailed CGs without animations or CGs with less detail, but some advanced animations. As long as it doesn't take forever.

Employment Type:
- This is a RevShare project and it will be split evenly between the team. We will discuss the details later.

Work commitment:
- This is a one-off project, but if the final result is successful, I have several other projects (stories) in mind.
- I don't expect you to dedicate all of your time to this, but I do expect to see progress. My goal is to have an excellent demo ready by the end of the summer.

Preferred method of contact:
- Discord: agera0014
- Email: thatfamousagera@gmail.com

Example games:
- Deep Vault 69 (CGs)
- Behind the Dune (Music, Animations, Sprites)
- Innocent Witches (Sprites)
- Rogue-Like: Evolution (Story)
- Quickie (Graphics, Animations)
- Agent17 (Story, Characters, Open world)
- Horny Warp (Animations)
- Fertile Grove (Story, CGs)
- 134: Police (Story, CGs)
- Prince of Suburbia (CGs, Animations)

Additional comments:
- I'm new to writing and game development so I would love to have experienced people in my team.

I'm open to getting involved but I wouldn't be able to reliably dedicate worthwhile time until August.

I'm a full stack software engineer (web, mobile, back-end). I played with Renpy and RPG maker years ago and have a general idea of some routes we could take with either of those engines if the team is tiny and hit the ground running.

I can handle most things regarding data structure and logic (think character parameters, status, story choices and interconnection. Anything involving 3D engines would require a 2nd engineer dedicated to developing gameplay.

Not sure what you had in mind for sales and distribution but I've already got a solution for patreon customers to login to and gain access based on pledge.

Python, C#, Kotlin/Java, Swift, JS etc.

Story is okay, and I could see potential for it to get extremely interesting depending on how much the player can control the narrative. I can help with some writing and ideas. I've got a plot I'd really like to persue for a next game if possible.

Dont do this, start with something small.

Thank you for your reply. While I appreciate your interest in collaborating, our game is focused on 2D development rather than 3D. As a 3D artist, your skills and experience may not fit our current project best. I wish you the best of luck finding a suitable game development opportunity that aligns with your expertise.

The Gameplay may be 2D. But the Rendering can be done in 3D like in DAZ3d or Blender. I was talking about the cutscenes. Anyways all the best for your project.
