Game's out.
"Butterflies: Episode 2" is a video game, again
Project Overview
Butterflies is a game about inline skating and graffiti. Apparently some people did that before, but they don't seem like they'll be doing it anymore. You can grab it at https://le-capitaine.itch.io/butterflies-episode-2.
Actors will mostly be doing in-game barks and grunts, except for the character of Tess, who'll be narrating the game's intro and ending.
I'd like to apologise in advance to whoever I'll be hiring. I wanted to (and, for Episode 1, did) pay $100 per playable character, but because I'm currently in a relatively dire financial situation, I can't do any more than $40-50. If I can get out of it, I'll try my best to get the rest through to you. Apologies again.
edit: And I also apologise in advance for all the takes on which I don't comment. Be certain I listened to your take, but I already had trouble responding on day 1, so do please forgive me if I haven't commented.

Voice Actor
Tess the Krazy Hominid
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 50 USD
Role assigned to:
Tristan Jimenez
Tess the Krazy Hominid is the DJ of the pirate radio station listened to by all rudies in town. Smooth and funky, they'll serve as the game's narrator, and as such get the most lines.
Acting directions: You know DJ Professor K? That. But also, Tess is non-binary, so I'll be prioritising trans VAs of any gender who can do voices of ambiguous gender. I'll still welcome all VAs regardless of gender identity, so if you think you can do it, you're welcome to go for it.
You're listening to Tess the Krazy Hominid and I've got this morning's update. Keisatsu presence getting tougher at the train station with drones and bloodthirsty Smurfs all over the place, and I'm also getting word that the Rodrats got attacked.
Japan is one of only two countries never to have had a successful revolution in its history. So when General Sakamoto declared this city an independent state, backed up by the Sakamoto conglomerate and the Sakamoto syndicate...people just sort of accepted it. Moved on with their lives.
And now we're gonna go to the morning mailbag with a letter from Mr. Ohsaki who asks: Dear Tess, are you a boy, or a girl? Answer: Get on my level, fool!
Voice Actor
Nanashi
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 40 USD
Nanashi is a lone Japanese graffiti artist who's clearly really pissed at something, but she won't tell anyone what it is. When she does talk, it's with seething, snarling contempt for whoever makes her.
Acting directions: I'm thinking something like a raspy or low-pitched downtown New Yorker accent, but I'll go for something else if I find it working.
You suck at hiding.
If you really want to know something about me, make it the name. Nanashi. Remember it. Or don't. I don't give a damn.
You're really not gonna leave me alone, are you?
Well, guess what. Saw you writing. Maybe there is something to your crew after all. So let's make a deal.
Hmph. Decent. Expect me.
Voice Actor
Anne
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 40 USD
Role assigned to:
Valkie
Anne is a metalhead. Enough said.
Just kidding. She's the closest thing to an old-timer in the rudie subculture and a walking encyclopedia of it. Chill, friendly and full of working-class pride, her parents fled Texas for Japan when the state's politics got really ugly.
Acting directions: I'll be prioritising Texan accents and especially Texan VAs for this. Has to be vaguely audible without playing it up to the point of caricature. I know that's probably asking for a lot, but if you think you've got an accent that's representative, you're more than welcome to go for it.
Were you staring at me sleep? Who the hell does that?
You know what, doesn't matter. You wouldn't be the first to fall victim to my, uh, entrancing charm.Here's something else you might wanna know: this is the Rodrats' turf. They're a crew of hotrod maniacs all glammed up in chrome. Can't miss 'em from a mile away.
Don't get fooled though. They might look burly and all, but they abide by the code. You don't just go over someone's piece without proving yourself first. This goes for every rudie.Not to worry, that's my specialty. I know stuff about rudies from before y'all were born.
Voice Actor
Raz
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 40 USD
Role assigned to:
DanielLear
Raz is the leader of the Rodrats, a crew of hotrod maniacs. Burly, brawny and to the point, he leads the crew and abides by the code.
Acting directions: Burly, gruff, gravelly, or none of the three. Don't really have anything specific in mind for him except that he's a brawny gearhead with a voice to match, so if burly guys are your usual roles, do what comes naturally.
So you're the kiddies who want our turf, yeah? You don't look all that threatening. You sure you aren't lost? Kindergarten's the other way.
No, we can't. In the code, you have the turf or you don't. Figured Anne would've told you by now.
You agreed to let her be the loudest and she was. She talked for you. One on three. Take your pick and let's go.
Voice Actor
Raj
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 40 USD
Role assigned to:
DiphthongDan
The second of the Rodrats. Young, cool and collected.
Acting directions: Standard American English or RP; either of the two. If you can manage it, maybe a subtle Indian accent (I mean really subtle - think a native English speaker who would've had Indian parents).
I think we should give them a chance. I just don't think we're going to like each other very much if the monkey here keeps talking.
Voice Actor
Rage
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 40 USD
Role assigned to:
Kriztax
The third of the Rodrats. The crew's resident tank, he'd probably be a big old softie if it weren't for the mandatory Rodrat bluster.
Acting directions: Will go for any accent. Do what comes naturally.
It's simple, we do it by teams, three on three. All around the hill. First to the finish, turf goes to their crew.
