Hello, again!
You may recall I was last here about a 48-hour game jam. My game, Don't Take This Risk, has since then been covered by TheRPGMinx, Markiplier, and many other Youtubers. It was even mentioned in an article on the HorrorTalk website.
On the heels of that popularity, Poison Apple Tales is attempting to establish a name for itself. We've been adding to our list of games, and our next project is the one in the subject line you just clicked on: Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces). It's part fantasy simulation, part visual novel. This is the demo beta for it.
The game will have two versions - a free regular version and an extended paid version. The extended version will be our first commercial venture, which will hopefully give us a budget to work with for our next project so we can consistently start offering paid jobs (very possibly to the same actors we worked with here, provided we worked well together). For now, we have zero budget (we live on hard work, sweat and tears), so this position is unpaid.
Audition if you want:
• The fun opportunity to be in a game + the closest thing to an anime. Have you ever wanted to be in a game or an anime? Our plan is to let players have the options of playing the whole game animated, so it'd be like watching an anime film. (Just one that pauses every now and then to let you make choices, which will influence the story.)
• Experience & Exposure. Aside from our players, our marketing team will send the game to reviewers, journalists, and Youtubers. We also plan to release on Steam. During the beta-testing phase, we will also give the game to a private group of players who will offer feedback on everything, including the voices.
Here's a little more about Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces):
•Rated 16+. There will be suggestive dialogue, intense situations, mild violence, and serious themes. There's a war involved, so you can be sure that things won't always be pretty. The romance can also get a little steamy, but it's nothing that will warrant an R rating.
•5 Acts/Chapters. The game branches out and evolves depending on the player's choices. This is an epic fantasy with lots of variation, so make sure you have the drive and the passion to be a part of this amazing tale.
•Fantasy Lore. If you're into Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, this should appeal to the fantasy reader in you. But you'll also know this means that some of these creatures of legends and fairytales will have unique names. We'll tell you how to pronounce the hard and seemingly easy ones, so please be open to direction.
• Fully Animated. As mentioned above, every cutscene is set to be animated. If you've ever wanted the opportunity to voice a character in an animation, this is your chance.
This is a big project so it will require a certain level of commitment, especially if you're going for a role with more lines. If you aren't willing to undertake this level of commitment and/or you would prefer to voice characters with fewer lines, then just leave a comment with your audition since bailing out midway can potentially push back the game's release.
Note: Auditions will remain open until roles are filled. (The deadline will continue being extended until then.) Roles will be cast ahead of the deadline. Additionally, the list below does not include every member in the support cast. If we like your audition, we may message you to ask if you would be open to voicing that character instead.
