Hi hi! I just wanted to say thank you SO much for all the insanely talented auditions/art applications everyone's submitted - it's extremely hard for me to choose! I also wanted to let everyone know that this is a fairly big project, and may require a few months to complete. Voice lines and art take up a great part of the game as it is a visual novel, and I need people who would be dedicated to this project, at least until their work is done. Lastly, the pay mentioned is per project, meaning I will only pay you one time with what is mentioned in the description. Payment will be given AFTER the work is complete, but if you would like to receive it any other way, please contact me on CCC and we can figure something out! After this update, if you do not have the time or for any other reason, I completely understand if you choose to withdraw from this project. I want it will be a success, so hopefully a few people can stick with me! Again, thank you so much for being patient, and for the amazing submissions! :) - Niko
Nano is a bubbly, easily-fascinated robot who wants to learn how to be as human as possible. She's friendly, brave and empathetic - but this comes with limits. As she is a sheltered robot, she is honest to a fault and has less understanding of social interaction. She may ramble, insult or hurt people unintentionally, or laugh at an inappropriate time. But Nano still feels empathy, and always wants to help those she cares about.
Nano has two voice styles - extremely emotive, and a monotone robotic voice programmed into her. She has a mildly high-pitched voice!
(Monotone, robotic) System initialising. Building database. System initialisation complete.
(Excited) So you can combine a spoon with a fork? And you call it a spork?! That's so... convenient!
(Crying) I can help you! Please, let me help you... please...
Due to a clichéd dramatic past, Lilith is cold, sarcastic and doesn't trust anyone - until she meets Nano. Something ironic about her makes Lilith feel slightly more alive - and superior, trying to impress Nano with human oddities and basic inventions. But she always retains her sarcastic and uncaring nature. Her interests include writing stories/journal entries, and psychology, as she is extremely sharp.
I want Lilith to have a slightly deep voice, only showing emotions when she feels them intensely. A good example for her voice would be a stereotypical gyaru in an anime.
(Unbothered) Aren't you like... R2-D2 or something? Just do it yourself...
(Angry) I haven't cared this much in so long for you to ruin it. How fucking dare you?
(Crying) Nano, not now... please just... work... You know it'll be your fault if he... he...
Parker is timid, shy and suffers with anxiety and intrusive thoughts. He has a heavy interest in robotics, working at the company that made Nano (Nanotech X). He wants to build his own version of Nano, thus stalking her, but eventually realises that Nano is fine the way she is and joins their little group, starting to want to help make more prototypes like her to emotionally help people.
Parker is always nervous, even in critical moments, and has a high pitched male voice.
(Sheepishly) I'm not sure, uh, where that is. I don't really... go out... unless it's for work...
(Nervous) Parker! It's Parker. My... name. Uh, I work at... Nanotech... um...
(Laughing sadly) I guess this is what it has to come to...
I definitely can't say much about Ayla without spoiling a lot, but please try your best to be kind, sincere and older-sisterly in these lines. Ayla is Parker's brother and has some knowledge in robotics from their parents, but selectively does not pursue that field.
A medium (not too high and not too deep) voice would be preferred!
(Calm/cool) Oh, Parker? Of course I know him, he's actually my brother.
(Excited) Nano, that is so cool! I never thought sentience would be programmable like that!
(Evil) Well, we'll just have to scrap your parts then. (Mockingly) Would a junkyard be better, or should we go with recycling?
I need you to be able to make multiple sprites for each character for the entire game - this is a hard job, and I am sorry I can't compensate you more than this! If you're interested, please include any similar work you have done, or just some examples you're proud of :)
Say something you think would fit
I need simple and small pixel sprites of the characters, and I would really appreciate if you could help with the GUI, which will be mostly pixel art. Please leave any examples you like of your pixel art!
Say something you think would fit
Due to the low budget, there will only be a few CGs in this game - this includes minor background art, characters in various poses and scene-appropriate colouring. Please send me your best work!
