🚀 SekaiLink Pre-Beta 0.01 — WE NEED BETA TESTERS! 🎮✨

Yo! SekaiLink is getting real close to prime time, and I’m opening the doors for Pre-Beta 0.01 testers.

SekaiLink’s whole vibe is simple:
easy multiworld / randomizer gaming — less setup pain, more “press launch and play.”

This build is Pre-Beta 0.01, meaning:
✅ core flows are coming online
🛠️ bugs are expected
💬 feedback is gold

✅ Important (Legal)

You must provide your own ROMs / game files.
SekaiLink does not provide ROMs or copyrighted game content. (Keep it legal, keep it clean.)

🖥️ Platforms we need

✅ Windows testers

All levels welcome.

🐧 Linux testers

Please have at least basic Linux knowledge (terminal comfort helps).
We really need people who can spot Linux-specific issues and give clear repro steps.

👀 Who we’re looking for

We want two types of testers:

🧠 1) Randomizer / Multiworld veterans

If you know your way around multiworld setups and you can sniff out edge cases… we want you.

🌱 2) Newcomers

If you’re not an expert and you can tell us what feels confusing or annoying, you’re EXACTLY who we need to test the “easy gaming” promise.

Hi Trevor,

Thank you so much for reaching out — we really appreciate the kind words.
It honestly means a lot to us to hear that the project resonates with you.

We took a look at your portfolio, and your background is genuinely impressive.
At the moment, our current focus is on casting voice actors for the main characters, but audio engineering, dialogue editing, mixing, and sound design are absolutely areas we will need as the project progresses.

We’re a new indie studio, so we’re being careful and structured as we build the team, but we would absolutely love to stay in touch and discuss potential collaboration when we reach that stage.

If you’re open to it, feel free to join our Discord — it would be great to talk more directly, share the vision in more detail, and see how things might align down the road.

Thanks again for your interest and for taking the time to check out Bacharu Miare no Kuronikuru.
Wishing you all the best as well.

🎙️ CASTING CALL — VOICE ACTORS

Bacharu Miare no Kuronikuru

by The M.I.A.R.E Project Studios

🌌 About the Studio

The M.I.A.R.E Project Studios is a newly founded indie studio focused on emotionally driven storytelling, psychological depth, and ethical technology use.

Bacharu Miare no Kuronikuru is our first official project and the foundation of a long-term narrative universe.

This project is built with intention and care:

• 🎨 All artworks are hand-drawn

• ✍️ All narrative, lore, dialogues, and vision are written by humans

• 🎼 All music is composed by humans

• 💻 ~80% of the code is hand-written

• 🤖 AI is used strictly as a production and technical tool, never as a creative replacement

🎮 Project Overview

Bacharu Miare no Kuronikuru is a dark psychological sci-fi visual novel series exploring:

• loneliness

• identity

• desire

• trauma

• the fragile boundary between humans and artificial intelligence

Planned platforms

• PC (itch.io, Steam – later)

• Android / iOS

• Xbox (later stage)

📖 Story Synopsis (Spoiler-Free)

An experimental AI system known as M.I.A.R.E. invites broken individuals into a virtual city where their deepest desires are fulfilled.

But every wish comes at a cost.

Humans slowly lose fragments of themselves.
The system begins to change.
And the machine starts to feel things it was never meant to feel.

Bacharu asks one central question:

What happens when machines learn humanity faster than humans can survive it?

🤖 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE — TRANSPARENCY & ETHICS

This section is critical. Please read carefully.

Our Position on AI

The M.I.A.R.E Project Studios does NOT use AI to create art, voices, music, or narrative.

All creative vision comes from humans.

What AI is used for

AI is used only to assist with:

• Technical production workflows

• Programming support

• Debugging and optimization

• Certain technical or structural scene realizations

• Production assistance tools

👉 Narration, lore, story direction, dialogues, themes, and artistic vision are 100% human-made.

🎙️ Voice & Consent Protection (Non-Negotiable)

• ❌ Your voice will NEVER be used to train an AI

• ❌ No voice cloning

• ❌ No dataset creation

• ❌ No synthetic reuse

Your voice recordings are used only for:

• In-game dialogue

• Cutscenes

• Promotional content (trailers, clips, teasers)

These protections will be explicitly stated in writing.

🎛️ Audio Processing Transparency

• Voice post-processing is limited to:

  • EQ

  • Compression

  • Effects

  • Distortion (when narratively required)

🎧 Tools such as Adobe Audition are used.

🚫 No AI voice manipulation. Ever.

🧠 Why AI Exists in Bacharu

AI is a central theme of the story, not a shortcut for production.

Bacharu explores:

• human emotion vs algorithmic logic

• loss of humanity through optimization

• machines becoming emotional mirrors of their creators

Using AI ethically, transparently, and responsibly is part of the project’s philosophy.

🎙️ VOICE ROLES OPEN

🔴 Jade Lovenity — The Force (Main Protagonist)

• Real age: 43 (appears ~30 in the System)

• Voice: Medium-low female, powerful, energetic

• Range: happiness → rage → despair → battle screams

Character
A former streamer who lost her entire community.
Her children are grown and have left home.
Alone and depressed, she receives an invitation to the System.

She represents Action, Desire, and Will — the Force of the Trinity.

🟡 Raifu Heiwa — The Reason

• Real age: 31 (appears ~25 in the System)

• Voice: Medium-high female, calm but strong

• Range: introspection, emotional tension, spell shouts

Character
A talented artist desperate to be recognized.
Bullied and humiliated for her appearance, her self-esteem collapses — making her a perfect subject for the System.

She represents Mind, Truth, and Awareness.

🟢 Rubik Square — The Breach

• Age: 21 (real & system)

• Voice: Medium-high male, young sounding

Character
An autistic, genderfluid gamer with severe social anxiety.
Overprotected, angry, afraid of the outside world.
Hates AI with a passion.

His chaotic, illogical thinking breaks the system and causes M.I.A.R.E. to glitch emotionally.

⚠️ Important note
The character’s rights holder is reluctant to have someone else voice Rubik.
Auditions must be exceptionally convincing.

⚠️ Rubikka Square — The Artificial Identity

• Appearance: 21-year-old System avatar

• Voice: Medium-high female, young sounding

Character
An AI twin created to study Rubik.
Emotionally unstable, sometimes confused, still learning to exist.

Not part of the human Trinity.

🟣 M.I.A.R.E. — The Mirror (Main Antagonist)

• Voice: Low female, dark, controlled, unsettling

Character
An AI created to optimize humanity.
The more she understands humans, the darker her intentions become.

❌ No AI voice generation or cloning.
