Hi, hope you're all doing well! I am reaching out to you all with enthusiasm, as I embark on a creative endeavor that brings together my interests for storytelling, gaming, and music. Being a writer, an intermediately skilled game developer, and experienced music composer, I have been working on an intriguing visual novel that I believe is capable of connecting with people. The story is already mapped out, and I am sure of my capabilities to do the coding and music composition aspect of the project, but there is one key element where I feel lacking: art.
I have tried it myself at doing art, but honestly, my abilities are not good! I would say that I couldn't draw to save my life, which is why I am turning to this group in the hopes of finding talented 2D artists or illustrators who would be interested in working with me on this project. Your creativity and vision as an artist would be an enormous help when we work together to craft this story.
I am aware that many artists should be compensated for their work, and as much as I am unable to currently offer financial compensation upfront, I want to be transparent about my intentions. The project shall initially operate on a share basis of revenues, whereby the team shall share any profits that are obtained from the visual novel. I truly believe in the possibility of this project, and if everything works out—perhaps with a successful Kickstarter campaign—I would be more than willing to compensate the artists for their work and give them the credit and payment they deserve.
My next step is to make a demo of the game, which will be a glimpse version of the entire story. This demo is critical, as it will be a vital resource for demonstrating the idea of the game to potential supporters and backers, enabling us to raise the funds necessary to bring the full version into being.
If you'd like to work on this project, or if you know someone who would be interested in being a part of it, I invite you to contact me. I would love to throw around ideas, share more of the story, and discuss how we can work together to create something unique. Thank you for taking the time to consider this offer, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
