Chaos;Head Noah (stylized as ChäoS;HEAd NoAH) is an updated rerelease of Chaos;Head, a 2008 visual novel by Nitro+ and 5pb. This version includes six new endings that were not present in the original; one for every main heroine. However, while the original version was only available on PC, the updated version was available on practically every platform but PC. We at the Committee of Zero intend to change that. The original Chaos;Head was translated on TLWiki years ago. We intend to build on this work, but heavily revise it and edit it as to match our writing style. Please bear in mind that we are not associated with TLWiki's team in any way, and this project is not related to their own abandoned Noah port and translation. Staff We are currently in need of: A translator with some amount of past experience and the availability and diligence to make steady progress over a few months to a year. Our core Noah team consists of: Engine Reimplementation for PC: SomeAnon, DrDaxxy Translator: [RECRUITING] TL Checker: SnowedEarth Editor: Kumin, Discontinuous Qualia CG Editor: Cypert Keep in mind that this list does not include everyone in the Committee of Zero. We have many members, including those who have done... zero work. Progress At the moment, not much work on the translation itself has been done. We've set up the basic workflow and are putting together an organization system, so once we finish our current side project, we should be all set and ready to jump on translation work no later than the start of the new year (assuming we find a translator by then). However, what this project currently lacks in translation work, it makes up for in porting work. Our technical team is building a complete reimplementation for PC of the N2System engine that the Xbox version of Noah runs on, and we've made substantial progress. Right now, the engine is capable of reading and interpreting the game's scripts (though it currently only displays backgrounds and plays in-game audio - nothing to show off yet). Notes By the way, SciADV fans may be interested to hear that we recently released a patch for the Steam version of STEINS;GATE fixing many of that version's shortcomings. We don't feel this warrants a Fuwa thread on its own, but we wanted to mention it. The port will likely be finished before the translation, and once that happens, we plan to release it, so Japanese speakers can read the VN on PC. If you're interested, and think you can help, then aside from this thread and my PMs, the best places to contact us are via e-mail at [email protected] or our Discord.

Hi, I'm Miya! I'm the leader of Truth Unveiled Visual Novel. We need artists, programmers, and more writers for this project. We already have two. Here is everything you need to know and every bit of info we have so far: http://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/15762-truth-unveiled-gxbsupernaturalromancepsychological/#comment-428907 Contact me here, via email, [email protected] or Skype: Miyu "Aoba cake" I look forward to hearing from you. ❤

Truth Unveiled Hello! My name is Miya and I'm recruiting for Truth Unveiled. I am the team leader. At this time, our team is made up of two programmers, three writers, and I. This is a non commercial project. Our Team pigionsdeliver - Lead writer (on lemma) Otometea - Writer (on lemma) Philip Napier - Writer (Not on this site) Logic Nerd - Lead programmer (on lemma) James Inness - programmer (Not on this site) Our progress so far First, let me say that this game is being built in a custom engine that allows episodic release. It is like Ren'py but has many more features. So the script for Episode 1 (of 5) is finished. It needs editing. If you are interested in being an editor, I can send it to you via email or skype. Information below. For the Episode 1 demo, that puts us at about 30% completion What we Need We need a sprite artist for about 7 sprites with your basic expressions. I, myself, am an artist and would be happy to provide you with basic concept art to aid you. I'll do whatever it takes to make your job easier. We need a background artist, I want these locations to be unique. I'm not above using the creative commons but everyone wants to be original. We need a musician. We have our plot in place and would love to have themes per character as well as menu and dynamic event tracks. This is ambition, but at the least, we need background music. We need an editor. We have a VERY talented writing crew and as a small downside, the script needs to be converted to more layman's terms to appeal to a wider demographic. Summary Truth Unveiled is a GxB otome game about a 24 year old English professor that features the option to reject dating any of the available suitors if you wish. You can befriend them or go your own way to find out just what's boiling beneath the surface of your own psyche.

With the help of her inner voice and a range of attractive suitors, she discovers more than she bargained for. And, as big as her problems seem, those who surround her carry secrets of their own, some just as big and others more dangerous than she could’ve ever imagined. Life is never simple but the only option left for MC is to live it. No matter how much she tries to avoid it. A messaging feature will be included. Text the guys, make a friend, or choose a route.

VN Overview You may have heard the occasional theory of a potential catgirl 'dystopia' in a certain popular catgirl VN. (given that in a sense catgirls in that world could basically be seen as slaves). This visual novel will take that theory to a logical extreme in that sense. Catgirls will be used and abused negatively by humans and it will eventually turn into a rebellion/war started by those who want to fight for Catgirl rights. There will be a decent amount of realistic military action, the setting will take place in Japan (of course). At the moment, we're planning to have 3 routes. This VN at the moment is not going to have explicit H scenes. Current Project Team I'm currently the project manager of this whole VN We have the main writer who's written the major scenarios planned out, as well as a timeline (history wise) as well as a timeline that will be referred to for writing specific scenarios We have an editor who mostly reviews our scenario documents, records meetings when we have them and will likely be an editor of the VN when it's released We have a programmer who will be programming the VN through Renpy We have someone who will contribute to making music There are a few people who came up with the original idea of the VN and have helped make some character concepts. Current Progress At this point we have the major scenarios planned for this VN written out. We also have all the major characters' personalities and backstories written up in addition to a few secondary characters. We have Renpy set up and know some general ideas of how we're going to use it. Our next task, in addition to looking for art, is to start actually writing dialogue. Looking for Artist Right now, we're looking for an Artist. For the most part, we just want art that we think would be fitting for the setting and plot. That said, we're very open to artist interpretation and freedom. Our highest priority at the moment is looking for someone who can at least make art for our characters given their personalities and physical descriptions. Backgrounds would be nice too but since one of our teammates is currently living in Japan, he can easily take photos and blur them a bit. We have a Discord server where we keep all our documentation (we'd rather not show it publicly at the moment) so if/when an artist joins our group, we'd like for him/her to join the Discord server to read the documentation as well as post progress for us. If you know anyone who would be interested in being an artist for this VN project please reply to this project and PM me! If possible, we'd like you to show previous examples of art you made to see if it could be a good fit to hire you on."

Released: can be found here https://store.steampowered.com/app/686760/Carpe_Diem_Reboot/ Hello everyone, Firstly, I want to say that I'm fairly new here so if there is anything I need to add, change or remove in this post, kindly let me know. Thank you for your consideration in advance! Backstory Last year, I attempted to make a short visual novel titled 'Carpe Diem' which I released on Steam for free. It was a small solo project I did for fun. It was more of a 'i-made-something' project that time and I really wasn't expecting much, but it surprisingly did pretty well. Until now, it sits at 91% positive feedbacks out of about 4k reviews, which for me is a pretty big deal. Over the past few months, I've gotten a lot of requests to make more of it. Inspired by these, I decided to give VN development another shot, thus the project I am currently working on which is the sequel. The following contents can be found on the Kickstarter page as well, but I'll try to expand a bit. Team Most of the negative reviews of Carpe Diem were about its assets (art, music, etc), which I admit are subpar since I'm not very good at making those. I want to overcome these shortcomings for the sequel, so I made a team and looked for people who can help me make a better product than the previous one. So far, I've found great people for my team: Editor: DJ Horn [he posts reviews on a certain blog site, and so far he's been a great help refining and polishing my narrations and dialogues] Programmer: Bonesy [he is a game developer himself but he's very proficient in Ren'Py] Sprite Artist: Sabie [DeviantArt] CG Artist: Thai Chau [DeviantArt] Backgroun Artist: Alexis [DeviantArt] Music Composer: Jonathan [he did soundtracks for indie games before but this is his first time composing for a VN] These are the positions essential for the current project. However, I'm also looking around for a web designer/developer who is interested to join the team (in case anyone here is interested). http://eyzi.xyz/images/moonlitstudios.png Information The sequel will still be coded with Ren'Py. I plan the story to be about 50k words long (around 3-5 hours gameplay) but seeing how I already have 8k words written down just for the introduction part, this number may increase. I'm also thinking of putting some mini-games relevant to the game but this will be discussed later on with the programmer once and if the kickstarter campaign turns out to be successful. The genre is Romance Drama, although there will be a lot of Comedy and Slice-of-Life elements throughout the story. Synopsis [Carpe Diem] What makes someone perfect? Experience this short bittersweet story in the shoes of the main character, Jung, where you will spend your time hanging out with a girl named Ai. Ai is everything Jung wishes for in a woman... except for one very important thing. A thing he prefers to disregard in order for them to have the best time of their lives. You have a day to enjoy your date and see the world from Jung's point-of-view. [Carpe Diem: Reboot] Jung's last date with Ai ended with a hard slap back to reality. Each day the two spend together is just one step closer to their inevitable fate. Ai doesn't have much time left. Even knowing this, Jung refuses to let her go and decides to stay by her side until the very end...Or at least that's what he planned. After receiving an unexpected letter from Ai about having to leave sooner than expected, Jung's life is turned upside down. Now, Jung must face a long road of loss and self-discovery as he attempts to reclaim the few pieces left of himself. [A special additional description about the story just for you, lovely people of FuwaNovel] The following is a major spoiler unless you've already seen the prequel. Characters **For voice samples of these characters, you can check it out on the Kickstarter page. Assets The following are asset samples that some team members provided: [Music] Check out the first music sample. The 'mystery theme' for the story. [Others] I also made a short pre-production trailer with the resources I have currently Unfortunately, these are the only samples I can ask from the team members right now but I assure you that, once funded, you will not be disappointed with the quality of the product. Links I would really appreciate your support to make this project come to life! Kickstarter Page Steam Greenlight If you have questions, comments, suggestions, objections, or violent reactions, I'd love to hear or answer them in this thread or via PM. Thank you and have a great day!

Heya guys. I've been working with a team for a while now on the title, Cafe Yume. We've got a demo script ready, and about a hundred or so pages of design documents, so the story is forming in a beautiful way. What we need, is creative individuals who want to bring this experience forward with suitable works of art. The team is currently going through some restructuring after some members having to drop out due to real life stuff ( such as having a job or education ). We're specifically looking for Background artists, Sprite artists, CG artists, Composers, and Animators. Anyone who is skilled in these fields, or anyone just keen to hear more about the project should throw me a message. The spoiler below is a copy/paste of the thread we have on Lemmasoft, which includes further details for those interested. https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=34055 Thanks guys, and looking forward to hearing from you all!

Hello! I am working on an otome visual novel game right now. It is a fantasy game with elves and i have a cg artist for all the cutesy fluff stuff lol but there are a few scenes that lean toward the creepy side, also for bad endings there might be some blood. So anyone that is good at doing creepy slightly gorey art I'd really appreciate if you contacted me. It's not going to be super gorey with intestines hang out and stuff, just some blood. And in regards to payment, once i have more to show for my project i plan to run a campaign to fund the project (because i am paying out of pocket and i work at a deli ;-;) anyway i'd really really appreciate if you would be willing to work with me without payment until the campaign and then of course i'd pay for all the previous work and current work etc. But if that's a no go that's not a problem either, id still be able to, just using the money out of pocket ;-; lol anyway, the link to the game info is down below, please let me know if you're interested, oh and make sure you look at the main character on the main page and see if you can get close to the same art style(except all creepy like) i just don't want it to not even look like the same person ya know? Anyway thank you for reading! viewtopic.php?f=43&t=37765

I'm no translator but I'm looking to expand this project and break its chains out of Hongfire because things are going slow and Full translation with the current team seems impossible so since no one will make this project known i figured Id spread the word.

I am recruiting writers for my visual novel project. So far it is only me and my artist and we can't handle all the writing ourselves. This will be my companies first game so if you want to get into this industry I would love to help you. Sadly you won't be paid for your contribution unless plans change down the road. We have just started so there is no concept art yet, but once we get some I will post it. I want to have determined people on the team with good communication skills and are able to talk at least once every couple of weeks or so with the rest of the team through Google Hangout or something similar. I am the the one writing the code and the lead developer so you will be working real close with me. I will be able to send anyone interested a document showing how I'd like everything to be formatted so it will be easy for me to transfer what you send me to the code. If you are interested let me know and I will send you the e-mail where you can get a hold of me.

Hello all! I am currently in the process of making my first visual novel! Introduction "You and six teenagers are involved in horrible accidents. You are found unconscious, but you seem to wake up in a new realm. The ones there call it the Drift. From there, you have to find a way to escape the Drift alive. There are creatures that dwell there called phantoms. With each person having a "talent," this shouldn't be too hard of a task, right? Wrong. The Drift is a dangerous realm with illusions to trick the mind. With danger lurking in every shadow, who can you trust? Are they your friends or foes?" The main character is unisex, so either gender can play and choose their own route, love choice, and more! Characters Liam Valter: Liam is known as, "The scrawn." He is easily defined by his skittish and fearful personality. Liam usually keeps to himself, making him very observant. He is also the strategist, the brains, and the planner in the group. His talent of timed invisibility helps him observe and plan even better. At the age of 17, one would think that he would be a little more.. well-put-together in his scared side. However, Liam's fearful personality has helped the group make hard decisions during fights, incidents, and events in the drift. He is usually seen wearing a white v-neck shirt with blue jeans. He has a pair of glasses that always remains on his face, as he is rendered useless without them. Josh Farrier: Josh is the leader of the group. He had been in the Drift for the longest time of the seven teenagers. His given talent upon arrival was foresight and mind-reading which can prove useful in most situations. His personality is definitely a more rough-sided person. He often compares himself to a wolf - he protects his pack, fights those who dare to stand up to him, and fights when needed. An opposite of Liam hints that the two don't necessarily get along. Liam uses his head to figure out situations, while Josh uses his fists. Josh is known for his black shirt marked with a silver omega symbol. Katlyn Stone: Katlyn is seen around Josh. She was taken under his wing when she arrived in the Drift. He had saved her from a pack of "phantoms," the beasts that lurk in the Drift's plains. Katlyn now owes him her life, so she sticks by him in thick and thin to ensure that she is available for service when needed. She usually calms Josh down and persuades him to listen to the other people in the group. Often, the other group members question if the two are an item, but every time they deny. Daniel Bosner: Daniel is the flirt of the group. He decides to flirt with anyone and anything that is a female. This leads to him being overly confident in the sense that he finds himself, "able to get any girl." Despite this personality, he is one of the best members. His "given talent" is to see into the darkness, and use the shadows. He can sneak through the plains like a spy and guard the group's den. The shadows alert him of an enemy or threat, so his senses are extremely useful. Jarid Ryder: Jarid, or also known as "J," works with Liam as the strategist. In a close tie to Liam, he is known as the second-brain. Whenever Liam is on a supply run, Jarid is in charge of planning escape routes if a phantom rampages through the den. If one does reveal itself, he is able to use his talent to become one of them - he's a shapeshifter. As long as he's seen the creature, he is able to become one. This is extremely handy in battle situations as he can ward off predators by shifting into a creature of immense size and power. Marie Santar: Marie has a special feature about her. She has multiple-personality disorder - she has two different sides. One of which is a calm, loving girl.. While the other, is much less than that. Her "demonic" side is much more violent. She usually goes into a rampage. Her left eye turns red when this activates. This is a positive and a negative - in battle it works well. In other times, it can cause pain and tension in the den. Help! I am currently looking for help to boost my social media pages. I do have a facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/lostinthedrift). I am looking for someone to help boost it, as well as the instagram (@lostinthedrift). I am currently making a Twitter for it as well. The reason that I would like this boosted is because of the Kickstarter. It is set to launch in the next week or so, and having some people interested first is always helpful. Demo I will be posting a demo up shortly! There won't be any voice, but there will be pictures in the future once they're done!

Hello. I am looking to join one or two translation projects as a translation checker for grammar and spelling. I work from home so I have plenty of free time available. The way I planned on working was each time you finish a route or even if you just send me the patch for every 10% you complete translating and editing, I will have it completely checked before you send me the next update. I will do two passes and I will record any mistakes in spelling or grammar in detail, along with their position in the game, so you need only open the script and make the change. If you keep sending me updates every so often, by the time you get to the end of the project, most of the game would already be checked and edited so you won't have to go back to the beginning and go through the entire game yourself. I am new to the visual novel community and would treat any project I join as my own work and I would guarantee my best work. If you are interested in enlisting my services, please send me a message through this website and provide me with the details of the project and if I accept, you will have to provide me with updates. If there is already a partial patch released for the project, I can start there and then get an update when I complete it. Thank you very much! Edit: I work from home as a freelance graphic/web designer so I can offer more free time than the average person. I am interested in getting more involved in the visual novel community as a translation checker but I can also offer my services as a professional web designer since I often see people requesting web design or administration, which I can safely call myself an expert in both. Again, please send me a private message on here if you have any questions or have an offer for me. I am also willing to exclusively join a translation team if they are active and want a permanent member for translation checks and/or web design. Thanks!

DOWNLOAD PROLOGUE HERE http://www.mediafire.com/download/as5br ... 283%29.zip Hello everyone! This is an attempt at making a fangame based on the Fate/Stay Night VN and the Fate franchise in general within the Nasuverse. We are a very small team working on this right now, consisting of three people of which two are helping on story only. Most of the coding, writing and art has been left to me. While I can handle it, any aid would be greatly appreciated. Hey, even if you're not interested in helping, your opinion on our main plot would be extremely helpful! Background story behind the project Now this is quite important because it might be a major dealbreaker for most in the western Fate fandom. The original idea for this game/story came from really wanting to see some Arturia/Gilgamesh interaction with Gilgamesh's personality being like it was during life and not messed up due to humanity being messed up during the time he was summoned. Gilgamesh being like he was in Fate/Extra CCC. We wanted to create a scenario that would fit into canon and would allow us to explore the dynamics between both characters, their personalities and their backstories. Of course, we don't want to romanticize it. We are fully aware of how problematic their relationship is due to Fate/Stay Night- we want to take all of this into account- but going further into the exploration of their relationship. Now that that has been taken out of the way, this is obviously not a fanwork solely made to have Gil and Arturia interact, we created a plot that would allow us to explore and create many other characters beyond that. We want to explore the stories of servants in the three first holy grail wars, their lives and legends. Plot During the events of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Ilyasviel von Einzbern, as the embodiment of the Holy Grail, sacrificed herself to close the pathway opened by a corrupted grail. The Greater Grail was destroyed, bringing the ritual of Fuyuki to a conclusion. However, the Grail had been in place for far too long, it held far too much concentrated magical energy; the sudden dismantlement of such a structure, which after 200 years, had almost become a natural part in the mana flow within the region, was bound to fail. The ritual ended, yet the mangled structure slowly begun to regenerate. After a couple decades had passed, the Magic Association began to become increasingly more desperate to reach Akasha. They turned their eyes to the previous ritual held in Fuyuki - and sought to recreate it. The Magic Association took their own path, straying from the knowledge of the three founding families. With the complete eradication of the Makiri/Matou line after Fifth War and the Tohsaka family head, Rin, refusing to help in any way with the recreation of the ritual, the Magic Association followed their own crooked path. The Association’s mixture of stubbornness and desperation led them to take a dangerous shortcut in their new establishment. Due to lack of planification and information, the site where the mangled grail stood was revisited and used as the centre for the newly established ritual. This reestablished Greater Grail was a source of great instability - forcing it to work like a properly built structure ignited the unstable magical energy engulfing it, resulted in the opening of a leak into Akasha. The leak led to the creation of a spiritual reality - a massive reality marble - a realm of spirits and magic with no physical manifestation, close to The Root. This realm, much like Akasha, is a place based on energy and magic, holding no connection to Gaia whatsoever. It is a place brimming with an aura of unfulfilled wishes, hatred and despair. Being influenced by the guidelines of the Grail War, the leak into Akasha serves as a way of summoning Heroic Spirits recorded within the Throne of Heroes. Due not being connected to the world in any direct way, true heroic spirits are summoned rather than emanations, as there is no need to worry for inconsistencies within the world in a spiritual realm. Similarly, the souls of magi are forcibly summoned into this realm to take part as "masters". -Except there is no Holy Grail to fight for. There is no point to the summoning. Any human with at least one working magic circuit is eligible for being summoned into this realm. Their soul will escape their body, leaving it in a coma like state. This results in many inexperienced and confused magi trapped in the place. A magus with enough magic circuits and great skill should be good enough to handle themselves and even be able to communicate with the outside world - but those with poor circuits are bound to get their minds twisted by the place, going so far into believing there actually is an omnipotent wishing granting device to fight for. While Heroic Spirits have no reason to fight each other, magi who find themselves in the realm need to fight for the existence of their soul. Upon the magic association noticing the great swirl of mana at the moment of the summoning of a master, they were able to investigate the potential of the leak in terms of reaching Akasha, and would continue to seek the exploitation of the system. If a soul - let it be heroic spirit or magus - is to perish within the realm, it will be collected by the faulty grail. The more souls the grail collects, the more power it gains to open a proper route into Akasha. Even if one does not wish to reach Akasha - they will still have to fight in order to survive against the vile attacks of the members of the Magic Association. Besides, if one wishes to escape the realm and return to Gaia, they will have to see the war through to the end. Characters ARTURIA PENDRAGON Voiced by: Adoxographist Better known as Arthur Pendragon or King Arthur, usually regarded as a male in history. She is Britain's "Once and Future King" reigning in Avalon until the day she'd be needed once more - or so was recorded in history. In reality, King Arthur was frozen on her deathbed, where she made a contract with the world.The contract stated that she would not die until she acquired the Holy Grail, which would serve as a way of amending her reign- erasing her existence in order to save her country. Despite having unlimited chances to acquire the Holy Grail, her failures in the Fourth and Fifth grail wars of Fuyuki have weighted heavily on her mind. She continues to struggle with herself, while seeking a self-destructive ideal. GILGAMESH Voiced by: Jon Bullock Mankind’s oldest hero, humanity’s first king. Despotic, arrogant and selfish. Gilgamesh was born with immense power, not being fully divine nor human, with his field of vision reaching extents which not even the gods were capable of fully comprehending. His power resulted in great isolation, but his strength of self kept him from abandoning his kingship or fleeing from the mission imposed upon him. He favoured isolation as he believed that by having chosen the path of a king he had to advance through it alone. Enkidu, Gilgamesh’s friend and companion was the sole exception to this rule. Gilgamesh is a guardian of humanity, yet he did not take upon this role by sheltering mankind. Instead, he sees himself as an observer, an adjudicator and sentencer of men. He alone bears all the burdens of humanity, of sin. He has accepted this as his role. JANE BASKERVILLE. Voiced by: Trina Deuhart Jane is a magus trapped within the reality marble, Apophenia. She was born within a minor magi bloodline from Wales specialized in the creation of puppet familiars and automata. Despite great potential and strong magic circuits, Jane seldom practices magic, as she has no control over her own mana, resulting in harmful bursts of power dangerous for both herself and those around her. Upon encountering each other, she forms a contract with Saber class servant Arturia Pendragon. Jane has a great interest on the new world that has appeared before her, and seeks to explore it to her heart’s content rather than focusing on escaping or fighting other servants and masters. ALLEN SAPIENTI CORTEZ. Due to being the son of an important archeologist, Allen has travelled across the world all of his life. He is well versed in different cultures and is very passionate about learning about myths, legends and stories from everywhere he has visited. He has some magic circuits within his body, passed on from his mother. However, as he never did live with her, he was never trained to be a magus. He is summoned to Apophenia and paired up with Gilgamesh. Allen is enthralled with the Gate of Babylon and all the different weapons within it. Despite his lack of talent at magic, he can easily identify different heroic spirits.

Hello folksies and animalsies and every other beingsies. I'm looking for someone to help me with understanding difficult (and not so difficult) Japanese as I am attempting to translate a VN as a project to help increase my understanding of JP. As my JP knowledge is VERY limited (read Genki 1-ish). Not sure what else to write, so I'll just stop here and hope someone answers... Yeah...

So I've been thinking for a while. Wouldn't a Youtube channel dedicated to Visual novel/eroge: news, let's plays, discussions/podcasts, reviews, etc. be awesome? I've been thinking for a while and I think I have a way to make it work with multiple people on the channel. We could have roles assigned right like: Reviewer: Someone who plays visual novels and reviews them on the channel. Let's player: Someone who records and uploads videos onto the channel. Editor: (I'm also a editor) Someone who will be willing to take people's raw footage and edit it to make it more professional or more funny. Spokesmen: Someone with a clear mic and awesome voice to do the monthly visual novel update. ... Types of vids. Let's plays Reviews Visual novel update videos: Where we all work to make a script and the editors work to make an awesome looking video once a month about; Visual novel fan translations, kick starters, visual novels that are coming out soon, etc. If you're interested in helping me, just send me a message with this information: (P.s you can have more then one role if you want) Gender: Alias: Age: (Probably 15+) Role: (Editor, let's player, reviewer, spokesmen?) Editing software & experience: (If editor) Recording software & and type of mic (If let's player) Experience: (For reviewer) Type of mic: (Spokesmen)

NeoLondonStudios Recruitment I am looking for members for NeoLondonStudios. The strange difference with this studio from most others is that I would like to primarily target somewhat beginners who would never have had a shot being a part of a project any other time. Novices who are willing to put time and effort into this project and are willing to learn and grow their skills are welcomed. But keep in mind that this does not mean just anyone will be accepted into such a Studio. I have to see some works of yours for the role you wish to fill and show that you are dedicated and that you will not just quite in the middle of said project. That being said, this is a nonprofit project and so this is only paid with the gratification of creating something officially. It is all for enjoyment and for the experience. I would also like to not that if you are somewhat experienced and show some interest in the Studio that is ok as well. I would like all to know that this would be a very nice experience and you as well as I will learn and grow our skills. I already have a project that I wish for us to do. But as some of you may know, there are steps to take when it comes to the making of a VN. With that being said, while I will need a full team later on, for right now I am actively looking for writers, a manager, and team leaders. I have described each role so there is no confusion: The writers will help me write the script. This is the key part of a visual novel. Your art can be outstanding and your music can be ok, but without a well-made story, players are sure to not hold your VN in high regards. This will be a long process as the VN will be of medium length meaning around 10 hours of game play so expect a lot of work. Please be dedicated and willing to improve and learn. If you easily give up on things this is NOT the place for you. A manager is the person who manages the group. This is also essential for a VN team. They will set time intervals for each thing to be done. They should know roughly how long it will take for each department and create schedules and such for a more productive team. They will keep track of each team member’s free hours to make a flexible work period. Managers are also part of the recruitment team when it comes time for recruiting more members. The leaders of the team are very important as well. The leaders basically hold the whole team together. The leaders will finalize all decisions and choices. They will have to choose what stays and what goes. The leaders have to be respectful but know that they have to take charge at times. The leaders must also know a little bit about everything having to do with VN production. (Art, Music, Programming, and Writing.) This is because when team members come to the leader for help or a complaint the leaders will know what to do to help resolve the situation. This is an EXTREMELY tough job and will not be handed out lightly. Notice I said team leaders. Meaning more than one. The project is called Jack & Prior and is a mystery/detective, medium length, choice scattered, point-and-click Visual Novel. If you are interested such project and wish to join NLS then please message me. And I will send you a google docs link of the project information.

Heya guys, I'm the lead of a Visual Novel team, and we're looking for new additions to our team to help us create something awesome! Our Project We're listed as a free project, working from our passion in our free time. Our skill levels vary from beginner to highly adept. We have two projects, but are only really actively working on one of them, which isn't publically available yet. We're all in it for the experience, however upon our project reaching a monetizable state, the team members will be rewarded for their work accordingly. We take on a high quality benchmark, and during our "early" development will be very loose on our deadlines and requirements for activity. We'll be releasing a full playable demo, as well as a trailer the same time we release a Kickstarter project as well as a Steam greenlight. All these long term plans depend on the work of our team, which might include you! Roles Background artistYou're someone that has experience creating background artwork and scenery. Experience in 3D rendering would help, but as long as you make awesome stuff, we won't judge how ( Unless it involves some form of live virgin sacrifice, if that's the case, this team isn't a good fit for you ) AnimatorYou're a 2D animator that has experience in an anime style of artwork, or at least managing a lot of elements at once. You'll be joining another animator, to share the work load, and collaborate on openings, chapter animations, ect. Applying If you're keen to get involved, send me a private message here. Please include links to previous works, why you want to get involved, and your Skype ID so we can talk further. I'll be talking to everyone who applies to find the best suit for our team. I look forward to hearing from you guys! ~Jason

I am currently looking for capable individuals to fill positions within my production group. This involves artists, composers, web producer/designer, sound designer, programmer, writers, graphics designer, producer, and a co-director. Please take your time to fully read each project pitch and determine for yourself if either are of any interest to you. When you have done that, follow the google form URL located at the very bottom of the post to complete the following application. The application is one of two parts, the second part will come to you individually according to which position you applied for. Think of the first part being interview questions, and the second part is for you to show me what you are capable of bringing to the project. Once the second part has been sent, the results of whether you have been selected will come to you through email after all applicants have been reviewed. *Should you decide against joining the production after you have been selected you are by no means obligated to commit. However, please make that decision before officially taking part in the team.* The projects I currently have planned may be considered within the "concept" stages. However, I have envisioned how each story will progress and made a few outlines for portions of a common route. Island Rakuen(18+) Genres: Mystery, Drama, Romance, Horror It is summer break and college students Shougo and Kyouhei have big plans for vacation. Together, they rent a yacht with the money they saved and invite their friends into the pacific. It would be their last trip before they graduate from students to full-fledged adults. It is also a chance for Shougo to confess to his long-time crush, Toujou Tomoyo. The group sets sail from Tokyo Bay and into the Pacific Ocean when they happen across an uncharted island. Seemingly uninhabited with the exception of heavy vegetative and tropical growth, and a sea teeming with fish the group anchors their yacht and makes camp. Everyone pitches in, building cabins out of branches and leaves, fishing in the ocean for food, gathering the tropical fruits, and hunting the unusually large population of aggressive birds from within the island. They take tests of courage, roast food over a campfire, share dreams and hopes for the future. The place is like a paradise for them. It was a paradise until a tropical cyclone sweeps away their only means of returning home. Stranded, and without means to communicate with the outside world the group of friends' long sought after vacation has become a nightmare. The test of time begins to take its toll on the island's newest inhabitants, and one by one they begin to lose hope of ever returning home. Tomoyo quickly becomes a burden, failing to hold her end of her tasks and earning Maehara Ryouko’s ire. Finger-pointing turns to shoving and opinions to arguments, solidarity crumbles and the group splits into two. Ryouko, having grown impatient seeing Tomoyo pampered for her mistakes and never owning up to her failures takes her own group and leaves. The separation brings temporary peace, but strange things begin to happen at night. A cacophony of howling and laughter sound throughout the island, and each group faces a danger worse than isolation—themselves.

Wraiths of Ivarholdt Genres: Drama, Fantasy, Action, Kael Craster is the leader of the band of sellswords called the Wraiths of Ivarholdt. Seven years ago when the clan was originally called the Ivarholdt Raiders, Kael was but a junior member in the clan having been taken in after he was orphaned during the Michar-Forissimo War. He had known bliss and love from his fellow clan mates until one day the Wraiths were indiscriminately hunted and slaughtered by orders of the king himself. Kael and Darrik were the only survivors, having been absent from the camp for a hunting trip. Present day, the war has ended in an armistice and Kael has peacefully rebuilt his clan, naming it the "Wraiths of Ivarholdt" in honor of his former comrades. However, that peace is short lived. News of the hermit King Michar leaving his castle to negotiate a treaty with King Forissimo reaches Kael’s ears. It is an opportunity he would not let go. Revenge begins to stir in Kael's mind and little do his new clan mates know their lives have now become a means to commit regicide. Enter Wiles Tressante, the protagonist of our journey and the Wraiths’ newest member. He is a spy from the neighboring kingdom and ward of King Forissimo tasked with kidnapping the daughter of King Michar. Life with the Wraiths becomes like a dream to Wiles. He finds within them camaraderie he’s never shared and a family he’s never had. His mission becomes a distant memory to him. But as the nature of Kael’s true intentions grow more visible, the tenuous accord between each member begins to shatter. Wiles discovers that he isn’t the only one with something to hide. Old grudges open new wounds, the tangles of lies tighten, and the very person he is supposed to be looking for may not exist at all.

Arcana is a rather old game from 2000 by Ciel, and seems relatively obscure, although it has some very beautiful (if brutally censored) artwork from Tony Taka. I plan to do a complete conversion of the entire game from its own internal engine to Ren'py, and am making reasonable progress as far as that goes. I'm also trying to translate the game to English obviously, and while I do know some Japanese I don't know anywhere near enough to do this sort of thing properly. The project is thus in need of translators, translation checkers, and editors. I should be cut out for most of the programming work required, but I hear the game supposedly has some card battles too, and we'll see if that needs to be reverse engineered from the code too. Would also be nice if someone could undo the damage the censors did to Tony's work, but I think that can wait. Anyone interested in participating, please post your interest here or PM me. Thanks!
