Angel's Lullaby
is my dearest project I've been working on for 2 years. It was originally going to be a story conclusion for an unrelated undertale project, but after struggling with reworking that project into game format I realized something... I like making games! And I decided to drop the old project and make a story that truly mattered to me and deserved to be told.
I decided to take the development seriously last year, switching to GameMaker Studio 2 and learning how to properly make game. Since then, Jevilhumor and Smashcreeper both helped me greatly in learning TML's engine (along with the server as a whole, lots of great people have helped me learn).
The trailer was solely programmed, sprited, written and drawn by me. (not including TML's engine of course, or how some assets are built off UT's art) and I feel confidant I can make this game by myself. With how deeply personal the story is to me, I've wanted it to be solely be my vision.
But I also understand I will eventually be going back to college for full time and if I want to make greater progress, I have to start looking for substantial long term help.
Translators:
TML's engine is already built with the capabilities of being multilingual. I'd like my project to be accessible to other languages down the road, and it'd be better to start looking for that help now.
The story itself is planned in detail, but is always going through rewrites to improve. So I wouldn't be looking for translations right now per say, but I'd need someone who I can rely on in the near future who I can discuss the translation in detail.
EDIT: A french translator has been accepted! As well as 2 Portuguese translators.
Programmers:
I use TML's Engine within GameMaker Studio 2. I've been learning it for the last year and 3 months, and am able to manage it decently.
I fully understand what a huge undertaking programming is, and I would not like to have someone devote themselves to being a major programmer when I myself am able to manage it fine. However, I have limits to what I'm able to do, and having an extra hand on this project would be a tremendous help. You must be willing to use TML's Engine or learn how to. (Currently writing the documentation myself)
Story Consultants:
As mentioned, Angel's Lullaby is already written in detail. However, it goes through major rewrites as the story becomes more and more fleshed out and new game play ideas come to mind.
I'd like someone who is well versed with stories and has experience writing to help me out. While it is mainly my vision (early parts of the story's groundwork was helped by a friend named Sniffer) I am willing to be more flexible to improve the story further.
I need someone who can I can talk to about world building get feedback on the story as a whole.
Summary:
Overall, I can manage the game myself and any help that is given would be to make my life easier and for this project to become the best version it can be. Any help is greatly appreciated! But if nobody ends up offering help, I will be fine in making this project.
Please only offer to help if you know you can dedicate time to this project (with flexible schedules of course, this is a hobby passion project after all). Also, this should go without saying, but all team members must not be bigots in any shape or form. No misgendering, no racism, ect. would ever be tolerated.
If you qualify and would like to get into contact for either of these 3 positions, please message me on discord. I'm Starlight Sam#4602 or by email at [email protected]
Do not contact me for anything other than for this project. Thank you and hope you all for reading!
