Game Status Update (10/09/21) — Late 2021 Update (+Need help)


[Some parts of this post is very rough, mainly because I really wanted to get this post out here without thinking about it again lol]


Let’s get the common things out of the way: College and low motivation

Alright, onto the uncommon stuff.

For a while now, I have noticed fangames are being shamed for not living up to the standards of the current years. While that can potentially be stamped for this game, I am here to say that this game is still remaining the same gameplay structure, even after around two years of it being fully planned out. I do not plan on changing it the way it is right now anytime soon, as I feel I have stretched this game to the highest potential it can ever be. Regardless, if this game is still outdated with what it can offer, I will still see this game to be very charming to not only me, but to many others I have showcased it to. This is a personal project I am more committed to completing with the best effort possible.

The last thing I wanted to point out is the purpose of this game, as it may seem pretty ambitious enough that I want to do this. A lot of people would assume I am making this game for fame or for the fans. My answer is not exactly that. Yes, it is true this is a fangame I showcase to other people and such, but this game is very personal to me for the amount of effort, time, and charm implemented into the game. And hey, despite the amount of struggles I have went through, I am still having fun in the end.

With all of that aside, as of right now, I do need more attention to something below this passage.


HELP WANTED (non-profit)

For a while, the game has grown much bigger than I had initially planned before. With that said, I am required to find help or assistance to things I am not able to do. Currently, looking for anyone who can do any of the jobs below has been very difficult to find. If you are not able to do any of the jobs, feel free to share this around. (if you want)

2D Artists

I need any digital artists to help draw out several characters with various poses and expressions. The minimal work is up to lineart or flat colors, as I will trace over the original work with mine to fit the style of the game. (The original artist is credited.)

Qualifications:

  • Any Portfolio (Twitter, deviantArt, etc.)

  • Either traditional or digital, as long as I get image files.

Process:

  • (follow the 3D Modeler process below to get a better idea)

3D Modelers (Rooms)

I need anyone who is able to model interior to help model different rooms of the building. The work is very minimal, as each room or different parts of the building needs to be modeled without any texture or major details.

Process:

The modeler will create the interior of every room of the building, with minimal details and lack of texturing. The camera angle will need to be required to be adjusted precisely perfectly to get the visual adjusted. (or I'll do it due to my picky habits lol)

Using an unused render:

Once the render is finished, I will trace over the render to stylize the final details in style and coloring.

(Of course, the modeler will mainly be credited after the room drawing process is done.)

Qualifications:

  • Any Portfolio (Twitter, deviantArt, etc.)

  • The rooms must have the right proportions, nothing too abstract or out of place, where the objects or embedded doors look out of size.

  • Must be done in a 3D software. (Blender, 3DS Max, Sketchup, etc.)

Music Composers

I am looking for music composers who can do one of any kind of genre! For this one, I am not exactly great at directing music tracks, but I will point out the direction in how I want the tracks to be.

Qualifications:

  • Any Portfolio (Soundcloud, YouTube, etc.)

  • Can compose one of any music genres


More details about any of these jobs will be mentioned when applying, if anyone here is able to apply to any of those jobs for this game, message me on Discord here:
