Hi! We’re making this post the our game (most urgently the demo) we are making for Dying Year and Monstrous Desires.  As the game is free this position as BG artist is voluntary as well.

Premise

A young woman is abandoned by her family in the forest where they leave the unwanted or suicidal people go, the children nobody wants to take care of, elderly, sick, injured. She is sick and as she is dying in the forest she prays with hatred towards who used to be her folk. The patron of the forest hears her and after she dies it resurrects her. Green parts become part of her but she’s mostly human (for now) and healed from her illness. The being allows her to live under one condition: she will be faithful to it and will help it destroy humanity in the region. Having no love left for the people who betrayed her, she accepts the deal.

BGs for DEMO:

• Darker and denser forest, mostly for Aja scenes.
• Less dense forest as it’s further away from the core of it, where Kassja meets Soren.
• Field where Kassja sunbathes and there Aja’s special scene happens.
• BG showing from afar the dam Kassja must break.
• A plain green field with the town far away atop the horizon.

The first one is the most important one, while the others are less priority because they have the potential to be CGs.

If you’re interested in volunteering you can DM @the_real_zombie through Discord with examples of your work. This story will touch on themes and genres relating to death, dark romance and fantasy so only apply if you're comfortable with it.
