Update: Artist found!

Original post:

Hi, I’ve started up a tiny game dev studio with a friend, and I’m looking for an artist to join the group. Right now our group setup is: me (coding, business stuff) and Nadia (writing). Nadia and I can both draw and contribute to music, but we’d prefer to focus on what we do best.

We are currently working on the full version of the visual novel “Psyche et al,” and we will be re-releasing “Cursed Threads” with some improvements and fixes. We’ll also be working on a dark fantasy game in July or so. Our site is https://smallbunnystudio.com .

Ideally, we’d like to find someone talented in sprite art, illustrations, and background art. Discord is required.

Our budget is tight, but we will be able to pay for the help. Or if you’d like, we can do revshare instead.

If interested, please send an email with a few examples of your art and your rates to staff@smallbunnystudio.com. We’ll reach out within about a week if we think you’d be a good fit. If you have any questions, feel free to send an email or ask in the comments. Thanks for reading!

Sounds awesome! I registered a couple of mins ago. XD

Hi! I'm working on a project for my new studio. My team and I have finished making a demo and would like some help with marketing. Even tips would help!

The project is here:  https://reynadiai.itch.io/psyche-et-al. We're planning to run a Kickstarter to raise funds for the full game.

My studio email is bun@smallbunnystudio.com, if you want to get in touch! Hope to hear from you.

Hi! Are we allowed to use these for commercial visual novels?

Like Karmadefender said, the game page is locked

I have an unpaid project in mind. If you have Discord, feel free to add me. (Edit: redacted)

Are you only looking for paid projects?

Hi! I’m one of the devs. Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of the battle issues; we unfortunately ran out of time but will implement a more comprehensive battle system for the full game. As for the backgrounds, that’s valid, thank you for pointing it out.

I’d like to correct you on the surname-first introduction though. The game is set in North America, where Asian diaspora do not typically introduce themselves with their surname first, unless speaking with someone from the same culture. As an Asian American who has traveled globally, I hope that this enlightens you on this aspect of our culture.

Thank you for playing the game and giving feedback!

Thanks for letting us know about the bug! :3 And ty for the complements

Thank you! :3

Yeah! :3

Thank you! 🥹

I’d like feedback on our game too! https://itch.io/jam/spooktober-2024/rate/2995100

This is so cute! I like the music near the end too.

It was her friend, in the water. Some of her body is submerged.

I watched someone stream this, for about 2 hours. Nice story! It was really interesting, and I liked how the camera did slow pans, and the animations.

Thanks for playing the game! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Spoiler]
The CG you mention isn't of a baby. XD

UPDATE

The outline went through some changes and GxG romance is no longer a main component. The story is still psychological horror, but it is now fantasy instead of modern. I have updated the post to reflect this.

Hi! I'm recruiting for a visual novel project for the Spooktober game jam.

STORY

Content Warning(s): domestic abuse, blood, violence, death
Genre: psychological, horror, fantasy
Premise: After years of living peacefully in an abbey, a woman returns to her family in order to find out what happened to a childhood friend.

TEAM

We currently have 2 experienced team members who have worked together on multiple VNs before, and we already have a programmer in mind. We have found a sprite/cg artist.

• Me: writer, art direction, sfx, ui art
• Nadia: composer, editor
• Zezenia: sprite and cg artist

We need: 1 background artist. found!

DETAILS

The story outline is about 35% done right now, and I expect to complete it before the jam starts. We need 6 character sprites and around 9 backgrounds. I estimate there will be about 6 illustrations, including the main menu illustration. We are open to various art styles. Nadia and I will be available to help with the art, but the bulk of the art-related work will be done by the artist(s). This VN will be free to play, and this project is unpaid.

Would you be up for helping with outlining/plotting a fantasy visual novel involving time travel? I can help with 2D art, if you need it. Feel free to message me on Discord. My username is smallbunnystudio

Ty! <3

Thank you so much! <3

Probably won't put on Steam, but I can add screenshots with the next update. :3 Thanks for the suggestion!

Can I use this for a commercial game?

Update: Writer found!

Hi, I'm looking for a writer for a BL SFW romcom visual novel set in a fantasy ancient China.

Most of the assets have been made, but the roughly-33k-word script needs heavy revision and rewriting. I'm looking for someone enthusiastic and with time to spare in the coming few weeks, as I'd like the script to be finished as soon as possible.

This would be revshare. Feel free to DM me with any questions.

My Discord: scyllagrand

I think I fixed it.

Hi, I’ve been working in Ren’py on and off for over 10 years.
Does anyone need a programmer? Or want to start a new visual novel project together?
I’m open to Paid/Revshare/Free projects.

Can do:
Point system
Point-and-click
GUI coding
Image layering
And more

Feel free to DM me on Discord: scyllagrand

Update: writer found as well! closing thread

Update: artist found! still looking for a writer

Hi! I'm a generalist/programmer trying to start a visual novel studio. Would any writer or artist be up for a rev-share project? The project would be set in a high fantasy world. It is currently in the brainstorming phase. There have been ideas and a sketch, but nothing is complete yet.

Positions open:
- a writer
- a sprite/cg artist (found)
- a background artist (found)

I've been programming in Ren'py and Python on and off for over 10 years. I'd be doing the programming and helping everywhere else that needs assistance. I also have a capable composer on board. I'm LGBTQ+ friendly.

If you're interested or have any questions, please DM me on Discord!

It should be fixed now! I removed the old version, and the new one should say "1.5"

Thanks for waiting!

Hi, I've been programming in Ren'py for several years, and I'm looking for paid work. I’m open to paid or revshare projects. Stuff I can do:

• Point system
• Point-and-click
• Inventory
• GUI coding
• Image layering
• And more

My discord:
bunni#0684 (all lowercase)

We're looking again. Please have at least a few hours a week to commit to this project.

Hi. Currently, our team has three people: me (worldbuilding, game design), a composer, and a 3D modeler/animator.

The Game:
The game is a singleplayer, 3D, low-poly, strategy RPG with fantasy and scifi elements. We're planning to use Unreal Engine 5 or Unity, and we're making the game for mobile. We’re hoping to launch a kickstarter after the demo is finished.

Our Progress:
We're working on the demo. We’ve made progress in the worldbuilding, music, and 3D art aspects, but we basically don't have anything done in terms of programming.

What We’re Looking For:
We’re looking for a programmer with great communication skills. We need someone to program combat for the demo (between the player character and one enemy character) as well as having the player character walk around and interact with objects. We’re patient and flexible with deadlines. Please have at least a few hours a week to commit to this project.

Feel free to add me on Discord: bunni#0684

Hi! I sent you an email. :3

I sent a friend request!

I did, it's in the title. It says "Ren'py." :3
