Looks cool. I was wondering if you could help me with my game. I want to make some minigames to make the visual novel more fun.

The game is ancient Egyptian/Ancient Greek/Ancient Rome themed low fantasy visual novel game about possession, politics and love with a Lovecraftian flavor.
Looking for specific background images all with no characters or crowds:
Human sacrifice alters (ancient Greek style).
Throne room (ancient Egyptian style, viewed from the throne.)
Bedrooms (ancient Greek, ancient Egyptian and ancient Roman styles).
Temple of Isis (different rooms)
Dungeons and secret passages
Caves
An ancient Egyptian tomb
Roman military camp
Tent of Cleopatra
Tent of Roman general
A great library (Ancient Greece Style)
Small icon images for choices (use strength, use charm, use intelligence, use speed)
Please take a look. If it is your cup of tea or coffee or milk and my idea rhymes with your melodies. Please let me know.

We already have an artist on the team but we have a big number of characters (17 characters in the story). so, we can use more so you can divide the characters between you.

All are welcome.
Here is a video playthrough of the prologue of the project.
Naughty Ancients present (From its Deadliest Enemies of Rome series (Ptolemy, Mithridates and Hannibal))
Savior of the Fallen Dynasty
All the assets (character designs, backgrounds, etc.) are place holders. When we get an artist on the team, there will be better concepts and animations.
I did the writing and the programming. Still, they both want polishing. If anyone wants to step in. They are welcome.
Not really, the video is my own doing. I used Ai to generate the images then tweaked them, but AI cannot do everything I want. So, I prefer a human artist with his/her/their own vision. They also can help me fix the screen and the Gui which is totally a mess. I have a committed voice actress who really did a wonderful job rendering the character of Cleopatra and I will be adding that soon to the game. Some composers expressed interest but no commitment. One of them contacted me here expressing interest in the project then when I contacted him on discord, he said it is not for him. So unfortunately, I am on my own. I did the writing and the programming.

This will depend on the result. I mean I am looking for a team that will share the game with me. If the game is good enough to be marketable, the profit will be shared by the team, if the result is disappointing, we all go unpaid. The direction of the game will be determined by the whole team. I like your art style and to say the truth. It fits the brief. In a way, you share that fascination with adding a modern touch to ancient and fantastic locations. I particularly loved your great monolith, your golden hall, and the lake where we were born. No matter what your decision will be. I am happy I could see those beautiful artworks.

Here is the project
The Savior of the Fallen Dynasty
Hello everyone,
I am looking a team for this visual novel project. I have little knowledge of Renpy and I am no artist. I used AI to generate the images so I also need assets and if someone has better knowledge of the software we can work together on the dialogues.
Overview:
The last Pharaonic dynasty is in tatters. Cleopatra and her Roman allies might have killed Ptolemy, but I Arsinoe will not let this dynasty fall. With the ritual of blood, I gave my bloodline a new life and gave you a new body. Three men were sacrificed, a treacherous Greek soldier who turned on his Pharaoh, a captive roman legionary who fought bravely before he dropped unconscious and a commoner thief who eluded the city guards for a year. I wonder who is inside brother’s body. No, no, no! Don’t tell me! I don’t want to know. Whoever you were before, now you are Ptolemy, pharaoh of this land of magic and dark secrets. If you were Roman, you will never see Rome again. If you were the traitor, you are the Pharaoh now. You cannot betray yourself. Or maybe you are the filthy thief. What an irony it would be. I don’t see a big difference though. My plan worked. Thanks to my trick, the people have risen in rebellion and the Romans have withdrawn to their citadel. Cleopatra is nowhere to be found, but the city is ours and so is the crown. Of course, we need to find her and kill her. But this can wait … let’s enjoy our victory. Yes, the face in the mirror is now yours. This mask is for life, I am afraid … but don’t worry. your life is safe as long as our plan is hidden. You will do as I say and all will be well. I will leave you to rest. I need you at your best in court. You will make me your new wife and Queen … but that too can wait. Rest now.

The World of the game:
Setting: solar punk ancient Alexandria in the Ptolemaic period. The city has a port with a and a formidable lighthouse operating with magical stone that guides ships into the port and out of it. It also protects them from demons and sea monsters and warns the city about invaders. The city also has the greatest library in the world full of ancient secrets and magical scrolls. The land outside is also full of magic and secrets. The city also has a Roman ironclad sea megaship. This megaship has a squad of roman special forces from legion XIII armed to the teeth. It is a threatening presence with which Rome flexes her muscles to frighten the Egyptians.
Factions:
Roman Legion XIII: While the legions of Rome strike terror in the hearts of all the nations of the ancient world, Legion XIII is a token force composed mostly of barbarian auxiliaries from Gaul and North Africa. There are some roman veterans who command the legion. They all answer to Lucia Antonina. They lack the numbers to invade the city but they can play a major role in the power struggles of the dynasty and its internal enemies. They are not in favor of a stable dynasty. Still, they cannot risk the grain supplies to Rome.

Tribune | Melee attack: A Melee defense: E Ranged: C Magic: D | |
Legionary | Melee attack: B Melee defense: A Ranged: C Magic: D
|
Most of the legion are auxiliaries. There isn’t many of the above. Still, the auxiliaries are less likely to venture without at least a legionary leading them.
The Royal Guard: They are the Pharoah’s guard. They are clad in golden armor. While they are supposed to serve Pharaoh, some of them are rebels and support different claimants to the throne. The guards wear amulets of their masters. A perceptive Pharaoh can locate and purge the corruption in their ranks. Because upkeeping them is costly, there are only few of them. The rest of the Egyptian army is made up of peasant recruits and foreign mercenaries.
Fighter | Melee attack: A Melee defense: B Ranged: A Magic: A | |
Sorcerer (sorcerers are Egyptian born with the gift of magic. They don’t need to learn it from scrolls and books. They only serve Pharaoh.) | Melee attack: C Melee defense: B Ranged: C Magic: E |
The Amon Cultists: They follow a mysterious cult that demands the expulsion of foreign traditions from Egypt. They are not necessarily enemies of the current dynasty or of foreigners (except the Romans whom they do not tolerate at all). Some of them are from Kush and others from mainland Greece and they claim that the founder of the dynasty was one of them. Akuna is a messenger of the cult, but even she does not know who leads the cult. Only time will reveal its secrets.
Amonite Swordsman | Melee attack: E Melee defense: D Ranged: E Magic: B | |
