Now that I finally got my anime blog up and running (and now that the dust has settled with everything involving my writing “career”), I can officially report on the current status of Sepia Tears and the direction Team N33T.
First off, the scenario for our first project is 100% complete, and I expect to secure a character designed before long. The moment I do, the info pages will be updated accordingly, and hopefully we’ll be able to see some trailers or other promotional items. However, this is what brings me to my second point: our need (or rather, request) for various abilities that could aid with the project.
Programming: Anyone skilled enough with Ren’Py could do the job. What we need is someone to script the story into the engine, but more importantly, someone to design the game (i.e. menus, cursor, etc) to make it look more unique than the average Ren’Py-built VNs.
Graphic design/background CG: It’s questionable at the moment as to whether or not someone will be needed for the graphic design aspects of the project, but if you’re proud of your photoshop skills and want to get your name on the project, it couldn’t hurt to ask.
Music composition: Pretty much self explanitory. I’m learning a bit of MIDI myself, but until I learn enough to properly compose the soundtrack for the game, I’d be more than willing to put the job in more capable hands.
To summarize, if you happen to be interested in the project and you fit into any of the above categories, contact me at eternal[at]teamneet[dot]com for more info. Otherwise to that, look forward to some character pictures and sample CGs in the hopefully near future!
