[Artist/Illustrator] HORROR Visual Novel

Hi there!

We’re a small team currently working on a short horror visual novel, and we’re looking for 1-2 enthusiastic illustrators who would like to collaborate with us. The task involves drawing backgrounds, characters, and potentially some animations, if it is possible. The project isn’t large — the goal is to create a smaller, polished game as a stepping stone before we move on to bigger projects.

Our team members all have several years of experience in our respective fields, but when it comes to game development, we’re still learning and growing together. That’s why we’re starting with this manageable project.

  • Writer – The story outline, plot structure, and character profiles are already complete. At the moment, I’m refining the dialogues.

  • Programmer – Taking care of bringing the game together technically.

  • Composer – Responsible for music, sound effects, and overall atmosphere.

Who we’re looking for:

  • Character Illustrator – We have three characters which you have to draw and will need several expressions. Small animations (like blinking or subtle movements) would be a nice bonus. If needed, I can help with the animation process — we mainly need a sequence of images that can be assembled into simple animations.

  • Background Artist – We’ll need around 4 to 7 background images depicting various locations in the house where the story takes place.

Of course, it would be fantastic if one person could handle both roles, but we’re equally open to working with two artists. Either way, collaboration and communication are key — and we want you to enjoy working on this as much as we do. :)

Below is a teaser for our game. If the project interests you, we’d love to see your portfolio and get in touch!
