Hidden between an array of mountains lurks a happy little town called Shinkouya, and within this town is one of the most prestigious schools in the world - Kendai High School. Thanks to the immense wealth of its students the town is a small yet bustling area where they can live out their childhood years, however, someone is trying to break that peace. You, or Yue, have decided to… eliminate… those who stand in the way of being united with your one true love. Using chainsaws, crowbars, knives and more you can murder everyone you please, assuming you don’t get caught.
You’ve probably figured out by now Heartbreak is in the yandere simulator genre, we have taken notes from previous attempts at these games to figure out what we need to do differently to succeed, mainly:
- Lower the scope - for example we’re going to have 5 rivals instead of 10
- Focus on murder - While we are planning for 2 unique pacifist eliminations per rival we will only implement these after the rivals are all in the game and able to be murdered
If this sounds like the type of project you would be interested we’re currently seeking:
3D Modelers (environment, hairstyles, props, character creation, clothing)
3D Animators
2D Artists (especially background artists)
UI Designers
Music Composers
If you’re a writer or voice actor, while we aren’t specifically seeking that kind of work at the moment feel free to apply anyway. Also, just so we don’t have to redo done work, if you agree to work with us you need to be okay that your assets will still be used even if you later resign from the project.
