Description-----
We’re an indie team working on a Japanese Souls-like inspired by ELDEN RING and DARK SOULS. We have about 5 members on our team, we’re aiming to complete the game by the end of next year. We’re currently seeking 3D artists (like you!) to join our project. Your focus would be on creating low-to-mid-poly characters or assets (don't worry about rigging!). Please message me on x @NOMIYUKIP or find me on Discord @ 09miles if you're interested.
Kyushu Story-----
During a peaceful era of Japan 13 years after a violent civil war, a strong tsunami following a violent earthquake hit the country, killing millions. This disaster would start the country's great depression and be the prelude to the oni uprising. After the eruption of Fuji San, demons and spirits emerged from the base of the volcano and began to slaughter the residents of the towns surrounding it. Soon enough, word of the Oni uprising had spread to Hokkaido and Kyushu, and the islands began to make walls and fortresses to defend against the Oni. Unfortunately, the barriers had gotten rid of any possible contact between the Japanese, and the islands were isolated; in Kyushu, the oni had breached the walls, invading the northern half of Kyushu. Among the invaders were 4 kami corrupted by Death Bringer Ryuga. Among the corrupted are Hachiman kami of military strength, Suijin kami of water, Amaterasu kami of the sun and fire, and Inari Okami kami of industry. The invasion also included Prey of Essence, a large horse created by the essence of the afterlife; Beast of Essence, a large bear created by the essence of the afterlife; Kin of the Forest, a demon born from the hellish underworld forests; and Death Bringer Ryuga of Castle Mizu. During the invasion in Beppu lived Mikado Sawamura; he fled Eto to Kyushu after the uprising. Quickly, however, Beppu was overtaken by the corrupted Hachiman and his men, and Sawamura was killed. His legacy is still prevalent among the last few survivors of Japan.
There also existed The Battle of Kiwazanai, a gruesome civil war in the underworld in which Ryuga’s Army of Reborn Samurai were in a fight for the Kiwazanai Bridge connecting Ryungai and Araku.
The player’s motive for coming to Kyushu is a sort of “fine, I’ll do it myself” after everyone else failed to stop the corruption. It took everything he had and killed millions and ended dynasties, and the player’s goal is retribution, or vengeance if they choose to kill each enemy.
Thank you so much for showing interest in Kyushu!
