We’re not quite up to the scripting stage yet - I’m still getting the detailed outline nailed down - but I’d be more than happy to make room for another writer!

This is still open! The team has done some great work so far, but we could still use some help with the GUI and the backgrounds.

Hi there! Please go ahead and add me on Discord, I'd be happy to see your work!

Hi! The art style I’m going for is a little broad - I’m interested in things that can look beautiful and ornamental at first and then slowly wither and decay over the course of the game’s three days. Things that can be both gorgeous and haunting.

I’ve always been really impressed by VNs like The House in Fata Morgana and The Letter, but with only a month for the jam I don’t want to ask too much of people!

I've sent you a friend request, my dc is seereeh

Your work is so beautiful! If you haven't already been recruited, would you be interested in a baroque horror VN about sinister princesses?

Yes, I'm more than happy to have more narrative people on board! I've worked alongside other narrative designers before - there are plenty of ways to split the work.

The project doesn't have a name yet, but we're going for baroque horror inspired by multiple versions of The Twelve Dancing Princesses - here's the rough pitch:

The king of a small kingdom has twelve daughters, all of them beautiful and of marriageable age. For their alleged safety, he keeps them locked up day and night in the east wing of the royal palace, because - somehow - the princesses' shoes are found ruined every morning. No one can explain it: not the princesses, or the guards, or even the poor cobblers who have to make twelve fresh pairs every day.

Handsome young suitors started coming to the kingdom to try uncovering the truth behind the mystery, but no one has succeeded, and in anger the king has had every suitor executed for their failures.

The main character (can be he/she/they, player's choice) is an assistant gardener at the palace and has a mysterious dream about the princesses. This leads to them volunteering (accidentally or intentionally, player's choice) to find out what's going on. They end up following the princesses down through a series of increasingly beautiful-but-horrific forests into an underworldly ballroom, where they spend the night dancing with strange supernatural beings and the ghosts of the fallen suitors. Over three nights, the balls get more and more sinister.

On the last day, the king calls on the main character and demands to know what they've learned.

I'm after:

• A programmer
• A character artist
• A CG artist
• A background artist
• A GUI designer
• A composer
