Hello. I am working on my visual novel "Synthetizing Love" for the Yuri Game Jam.
This started as a solo project but, as it's my first game, I realized I can't do everything on my own. I'm current handling UI design, character design/sprites, writing the entire script and implementing everything in TyranoBuilder.
Synopsis: Hannah, a young University student, spends her days leisurely with her friends Chikara and Yvonne until what seemed to be a forgotten memory from her past makes its way into her life once again. Will she lean on her friends to finally face her past and maybe find love, or will she keep on running away, losing everything she holds dear?
The idea was to use free backgrounds and music, but that poses a few issues. Finding all the backgrounds I need from a single source is extremely hard and I simply have no idea how to handle the music; I don't know what to look for and what is good for a visual novel.
Which is why I'm trying to recruit a BACKGROUND ARTIST and a COMPOSER. Specifically:
- BACKGROUND ARTIST: I'm not looking for anything super realistic. Simple and stylized backgrounds would work really well, I think, but what matters most is that they somehow fit with the sprites' style. Don't worry about it too much though, just leave your portfolio and I'll see for myself.
COMPOSER: the game is a slice-of-life romance VN, so I think something soft and relaxing would fit? Although it also deals with heavy subjects, like homophobia and bullying, so the atmosphere will turn heavy sometimes. Honestly, I'm not really sure. So if you know your way with music or can even help me choose from free tracks, I'll be really grateful.
I'm happy to say that the search for a composer has ended!
This is a hobby project, so I can't afford to pay anyone, which I know isn't a great incentive (believe me, as an artist I know way too well what that means). But if, despite that, you're still interested, please let me know. Of course you will be credited, that much is guaranteed.
