Writer / Coder

Few things to take note of before  you apply:

  • It's a must for you to know how to code in the script into RenPy. If you are unable to code, unfortunately we can't accept your application at this point of time because we don't have enough manpower on the coding side. Thank you for your understanding!
  • As a writer / coder, you will be responsible to:
    • Define and change background images / scenes
    • Define transitions from one scene to another
    • When and what music / audio cues to play and when to  stop it
    • Define which sprite goes on which lines
    • Define available choices to pick and how much affection points to add for each choices
    • Depending on certain choices selected by the player, have branching storylines or a set of dialogues
    • .... and things like that
  • Although this is a free project, please do not apply if you won't have the time to work on it! While you're not expected to make progress and deliver something every week, we would appreciate it if you keep in touch and show some progress every 2 months or so, minimum.
  • Lastly, I hope you're going into this to have fun, and even if this is a free project I hope you will at least be proud of your work nonetheless!

[NEW!] Editor

Few things to take note of before  you apply:

  • huge bulk of your work will be on the Moon route scripts for Akira/Ren and/or Goro, because the main scenes should be finished up soon. 
  • If you're willing to work for the other routes on top of all that, I would be more than happy to give you after you're done!
  • You will be given a word document containing the script for a certain scene. Your task is to go through the script, fix any grammar and spelling errors, and suggest any improvements to the script if necessary. Unless the writer for that route specifically asks for feedbacks regarding characterisations, plot, etc, you don't need to make comments on it.
  • Here's some sample of scripts which will be given to you to beta for.
  • Although this is a free project, please do not apply if you won't have the time to work on it! While you're not expected to make progress and deliver something every week, we would appreciate it if you keep in touch and show some progress every 2 months or so, minimum.
  • Lastly, I hope you're going into this to have fun, and even if this is a free project I hope you will at least be proud of your work nonetheless!

Artist

Few things to take note of before you apply:

  • Regarding sprites, I want to use the official sprites as the base when possible. However as an artist you're more than welcome to:
    • Add more expressions
    • Enhance the animations of 'blinking' / 'talking' as seen in the game
    • Add different outfits
    • Add different poses
    • etc.
  • For CGs, you can freely negotiate with the writer of a specific character you want to draw for!
