#in my files it's affectionately titled 'buddie choose your own adventure fanfic'

[fcntasmas-archive]

alright i’m biting the bullet here! i’m doing it!! if there are any artists interested in working on a buddie visual novel game (complete with choices, different endings, locked scenes and all that good stuff) with me i would. love to talk to you some more? this would be a totally free endeavor, which means two things: one, i’m not getting paid to program or write any of this (neither is @probieeddie, who’s graciously accepted to jump on ship as another writer) which consequently means two, i cannot offer you payment in anything but gratitude and welcoming arms into my passion project fjskaldf we would make $0 off of this (for intellectual property purposes, obvs) and it would eventually be a free-to-download and free-to-play game for the fandom, so! no money would come out of this for anyone! (if there was i promise i would pay you More than i could ever earn from this bc i know drawing is a whole hassle fjdlkjfs) anyway! below the read more is more information of the artistic components i’m looking for and if you see anything you’d feel comfortable contributing/being a part of, please DM me and we can talk some more and if you’re interested beyond that in being part of the project i’ll happily add you to our discord server!

CHARACTER DESIGNER-- filled by @nymika-arts

this is ideally one (1) person (for stylistic consistency) and would be in charge of drawing character sprites/portraits. this includes different poses/facial expressions for the same character sprite, but you will not be drawing anything under the waist, most likely. so if you have issues with full-body portraits -- you might enjoy this! legs are hard!

BACKGROUND ARTIST-- filled by @herosiris​

pretty straightforward!!! the artist who would take care to draw the background of the scenes: so, say, if they’re at the station, you’d draw the station, if they’re at a park for a call, you’d draw the park, etc etc. would work closely with the character designer just to make sure styles Vibed with each other.

GUI ARTIST/DESIGNER-- filled by @fruitydiaz​

the graphic user interface artist/designer would take care of making the game Unique Af -- so no boring old black text boxes, menu boxes, choices, stats, etc. whatever the user interacts with is your artistic playground. we’d get into specifics throughout the programming process. would most likely be working closely with me, for stylistic purposes and whatnot.

if any of these get a lot of interest/traction, i’ll most likely put up an application form or something to narrow down the search, maybe make it a two-person job if it gets to that point.

i cannot stress enough how SORRY i am i cannot pay you in anything but my gratitude and a welcome pass to a passion project. like. literally. no money. if nothing else i will be adding ko-fis to update posts and whatnot, so you may be able to get some tips out of that ;-;

and the game where it stands is at its very preliminary stages -- so you’d get a lot of input on where you’d like to see it go, what you think may not be working, etc etc. we’d be a whole Team, ok

anyway,,,, lmk if you’re interested!!! ily!! this is terrifying!! ok bye!!
