Hi everyone! As the previous VAs for Nataliya and Pierce are too busy to continue with the project, I will be re-opening their roles. Please note that as of Chapter 2, Nataliya is the main character. It therefore goes without saying that she will generally receive more lines than any other character.
Please also ensure that you can commit to this project in the long term.
Feel free to let me know via PM if you wish to audition, but feel you cannot do so in the given time frame. My discord is Nopeunintended #8291 for anyone who prefers using it to communicate^^
I will also be taking this opportunity to re-state the project's vacancies for the following roles:
- Sprite creation/editing
- Body Discovery/Execution animation
- Climax Reasoning/Closing Argument manga creation
- Background/Backdrop Creator
- Miscellaneous Art [e.g. depicting certain characters at a certain location within the game]
- (Still undetermined) Audio Composer
Thank you, everyone^^
Is this a paid role?
Since the game is operating on a non-commercial, fan-driven basis, the Voice Acting roles will NOT be paid. In contrast, the asset creation roles will be paid (the ones we're particularly looking for are those who can do execution and/or climax reasoning art / animations). This is consistent with how the original project was presented, and we're sorry for any inconvenience that may have been caused from the presentation thus far. I will be editing the asset creation paid amount to '0' to avoid any future confusion (purely as a label - it remains a paid role).
Is it really a playable game?
Yep! To give you an idea of the scope of the project as of now (21/08/2019), the segments that have been released amount to +-10 hours of playable content, with far more to be expected (we're just shy of the Chapter 2 Trial, which we're hoping to use to improve upon the model of Chapter 1)!
Overview
Danganronpa: New World Order [aka DanganFanfic v2: New World Order] is a playable fan game/visual novel, featuring a fresh cast of characters, most of whom are based veryveryvery vaguely on real life friends [hence the tongue-in-cheek disclaimer you get in the title sequence]. As of now, the entirety of Chapter 1 has been released and is available to play, as is Chapter 2's Daily Life segment. The investigation was also released a mere two days ago (19/08/2019), and we plan to continue going strong with the project and seeing it through to the end.
The storyline is different to the main series, with the game being set in a talent-driven world, ruled by 16 'Great Families' which each hold exclusive jurisdiction over a separate area. These include such things as education, entertainment, religion, and so on. Amidst the strict regularity of this 'New World Order' [*theme song plays*] came a series of events that shook the system to the core, culminating in a killing game with most of the original Family Heads as the participants. To this date, the mastermind of that incident, and how exactly they managed to orchestrate such a large-scale kidnapping, remains a mystery.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the world quickly shifted to a merits-based system rather than the former hereditary one.
It is thus that we're brought to the start of Danganronpa: New World Order, which takes place during the final stages of the Great Talent Program, an initiative designed to scout out candidates to replace the former Family Heads. By this point, the talent pool had been reduced to 50 batches, ranked from most to least compatible and with each batch possessing 16 candidates.
The story follows the top batch of candidates, deemed to be most capable of succeeding as the head of their respective Great Family, and the horrifying ordeal they have to endure after they are kidnapped and trapped under a dome with only one means of escape. No points for guessing what it is...

General Requirements:
We are looking for VAs who can stick with the project until the end (which may drag into the years, if history is anything to go by).
Characters:
In terms of the cast as a whole, I have almost no set requirements - if you feel your voice is appropriate for a character, please don't hesitate to audition! You are free to use any lines I may have put here and/or any you come up with yourself!
