Fusing the "Fuck Capitalism" and "Otome" Jams!! - Team Needed! (Free/ Vounteer)

Hi! I'm an artist, writer, and beginner programmer who wants to get into game deving! I thought a small wacky little project would be a great way to get some experience and noticed these two jams were starting at the same time. So why not fuse the concepts?

Game is fairly short, 3ish hours at longest in my head.

A 2D pixel side scroller with a lot if visual novel elements

Summary:

SEAMSTRESSED!!

Set in a world where the superhuman is the norm, you're Rowin, a seamstress... well... a sweatshop worker, but you don't know it yet. But one day, you're able to piece it all together... And you resolve to burn it ALL down to the ground, perhaps (if you are so inclined) alongside the two beautiful men you meet who ALSO hate their jobs <3

NEEDED/ WANTED ROLES:

  • More experienced programmers (GODOT)
  • Composer
  • More Writers (Screwball comedy with a lot of heart. Tone similar to Undertale, Earthbound, and the Yakuza games)
  • Sensitivity Writers (Dealing with heavy topics such as poverty, classism, racism - black, Asian, and brown -, sexism and transphobia)
  • Other Character Designers (Pixels and otherwise)
  • Background + Prop Designers (Pixels and otherwise)
  • UI designer
  • Beta Testers

(OPTIONAL) Voice Actors 

Doesn't need to be exact ofc, but vibes. No accents unless it's naturally yours. Matching identities are highly preferred.

1) Rowin (Filipino). Femme Protagonist (Soft and wistful usually but can REALLY bring the feminine rage. Speaking voice to Aurora)

2) Cyan (Japanese and English). Masc Love Interest #1 (Suave and flirty with a very dramatic flair. Similar to V from DMC5)

3) Knox (Black). Masc Love Interest #2 (Gruff tsundere goth boy. Similar to Shinji from Persona 3 Reload)

What these goobers look like for reference (not final style or anything ofc)

Hi! Are you still looking for a programmer?

hello, yes!! Thank you so much for reaching out ^^
Am currently in the planning, writing and art designing process, likely starting the actual game once the month officially starts. If you’d like to see or hear anything about that process I’m most available on discord and twitter (same username)

Also if you don't mind can I know your past experience or projects as a programmer? It’s perfectly fine if its not much cause me neither haha

Sure! I'm a Python/Java/C/C# developer. I finished my studies in 2022 and started on a kind of master's degree immediately after. I left my backend developer job last week and have been searching for a way of getting onto game developing for a while, and I think game jams are exactly what I'm looking for! I have made a few prototypes in Unity, Godot, PyGame and C here and there, but never an actual finished game project. I've also created a few custom mods and custom servers for Minecraft Java for me and my friends. I'm also checking out RenPy and looks quite good!

Hi! Is the team still looking for a UI Designer? I’m primarily a UI Designer and would love to join in the jam. Here’s my portfolio if you’d like to see my work for past projects!

hello! Yes, we are still looking for a UI designer and would be very happy to have you join the team ^^

Your portfolio seems like a good fit. Please add me on discord (same username as here xxCathArtistxx)

I’m planning to make a discord server for the dev team later today and will send you an invite

Fantastic! I’ve sent over a request on discord c:

Hey, if you're still looking for one, I'm a composer and I play a couple instruments (and can't spell apparently cause it took me way too long to spell instruments correctly). I have been composing for ~4-5 years now. I don't have much that's recent that I can show you (cause I've been lazy and busy and the stuff i do write doesn't make it online), but I have a musescore account where I post random stuff:

If you wanna listen, I have 2 relatively recent tunes (although they are short and I wrote each of them in one sitting for the hell of it): 

I also have 2 somewhat old arrangements:

(A few years ago that this point) I made an piano concerto (?, I don't know what to call it) album with a friend. Its kinda slow and lofi-esque.

I would say the style I'm most comfortable with is jazz/funk, but I love to dabble in a wide range of styles (I'm getting to Hindustani and Carnatic rn). I'm also comfortable making 8/16bit music if that's something you need. I'm in the eastern time zone and my discord is 'aipotatothing'. 

Thanks for reading this and have a nice day!

Hello! Thanks so much for reaching out.

This is the current playlist of inspirations I’m made for myself and there def some funk and jazz elements ^^

Maybe look at it to see if you’d be up for it?

https://feelthemusi.com/playlist/ffurnm

Other influences:

  • Chiptune/ Electronic/ Industrial (probably most imperatively. Since one of the ideas for the project is it doesn’t shy away from the fact it’s a video game)
  • Hip Hop
  • R&B
  • Alternative/Punk

Also while not all tracks I’d def like to employ some vocal samples in a few of them, likely from audio cds and such

If interested please contact me on discord (same as here, “xxCathArtistxx”

Hi! I'm a 2D Character Artist, If my work fits your game, then I'd love to work on it! My discord is: .salmonix
and my portfolio is: https://sites.google.com/view/karamelkelportfolio/home

Your art is great but I saw you’re a minor. While the game is not explicit or 18+ there’s themes and such I’d feel uncomfortable discussing with someone your age so I’ll have to decline

sorry! I’m sure there’s many teams who’d love to have your talents though ^^

I Understand, Thank you for replying, and Good luck to your team!

Are you still looking for writers? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HN-qu_txyJSvdJaJRheZHVrXB4XVUuwau_m5ETi-_mY/... Here is some of my writing if you're interested. I can also do novel formats. :3

Hello! Thanks so much for reaching out but unfortunately I feel we're all filled up on the writing team department.  Def keep looking for a team if you're still interested, you've definitely got skill ^^

Hi there! I’m absolutely in LOVEEE with the character designs and art style of the game. I’d love to get involved! Are you still looking for a VA for Rowin by any chance? :)) 

hello! Thanks so much for your kind words 😭

Currently we’ve decided to forgo voice actors for now in the demo phase BUT we were thinking of still adding VAs later on in production so I can def contact you then if you’d like ^^

You could also find me on discord, twitter and tumblr (all xxCathArtistxx) to DM me to keep in touch/ show me examples of your VA work
