REQUIREMENTS
• You must have Discord
• This is a long-term commitment, you can't quit halfway through. (It's not ideal, but if you NEED to and you're a VA that's what the back-up VAs are for)
• Fill out this Google Form: https://forms.gle/bEATZZLMEJKpGnQq8.
PLOT
The prestigious Hanashobu University (花菖蒲大学) only brings in the best of the best, fresh from High School. The staff carefully handpick the cream of the crop every year from all around the world to become the next freshman class. You can't get in by only applying, you have to be scouted out personally by the University. In celebration of the new class, the school often heads a class field trip of sorts to welcome them to their new school.
Aoi Inoue (井上葵) is one of these many students, scouted as the Ultimate Sailor for her unrivaled sailing and navigation skills. What seems like a normal cruise ship, is suddenly a breeding ground for death once they're informed by two robotic sea creatures, Yin and Yang, that they are trapped on an island unless they kill each other. When everything she knows is put into question, does Aoi have what it takes to prevail even when despair stares her in the eyes?
EXTRA INFO
I sometimes edit role descriptions to be more precise, since I'm still getting used to using CCC. If you applied before I edited something, that doesn't mean I'm not still considering your submissions! ^_^
Also please keep in mind that the Discord server is another place where people can audition at, but CCC auditions will still be kept in just as high priority!!
Most annoucements, like small teasers or notices, will go on the Discord server, and the casting will also be announced on there.
This is a passion project, and many projects have come before it. I'm still learning about managing projects and my time to ensure that I don't waste the times of all these talented VAs, Artists, Editors, whatever. So thank you for giving the time and day of this small little love letter to Danganronpa! :)
I forgot this feature existed so my baaad
But I decided to put the other CCC here. I'm really just putting this here because I need to figure out how this update thingy works.
This CC won't be replacing this one, just sort of "temporary", I guess. Most of the really important things go on the Discord, but I'll at least put the trailer here so look out for that I guess...?

The artist role involves the following:
જ⁀➴ Sprite making
. . . . . . . .➥ some characters have extra details or features that aren't in base GL2. sprite making will involve both posing and editing characters. good examples of danganronpa sprites are on the sprite galleries of the danganronpa and fanganronpa wiki.
જ⁀➴ CGs / static illustrations
. . . . . . . . . .➥ what i mean by this isn't the actual danganronpa splash arts, i mean the images seen in the CGs and Chapter images.
જ⁀➴ UI. . . . . . . . . .➥ textboxes is one example of ui. this is just as important as the sprites, because the series is formatted like a visual novel in video form.
These are just a few examples of what the artists will do, but some other jobs they may have include things like making new splash art for the characters or making art for the thumbnails. Keep in mind that this series will combine actual art and edited gacha life 2 images.
*Say something you think would fit*
Background artists provide backgrounds for the series.
*Say something you think would fit*
Prop makers provide the props for the series. A good example of what prop makers do would be drawing the E-Handbook prop or any props for a class trial segment.
*Say something you think would fit*
Thumbnail makers create the thumbnails for the series' YouTube videos.
*Say something you think would fit*
Animators create all the animated segments of the series. This includes:
જ⁀➴ Cut-Ins
. . . . . . ➥ cut-ins are short animations that show up during the class trial. examples are the counter and rebuttal showdown cut-ins.
જ⁀➴ Body Discoveries
. . . . . ➥ the title is self-explanatory. if you're unsure of what a bda is and are unafraid of danganronpa spoilers, i suggest looking a few up on youtube.
જ⁀➴ Executions
. . . . . . . . . . . ➥ executions are probably the most important one out of all these, since it's fully animated. again, if you're unsure of what a danganronpa execution looks like and are unafraid of danganronpa spoilers, look a few up on youtube.
*Say something you think would fit*
Video editors help put together all the art, music, ui, and animation to make a full episode.
Note: The Video editor will edit the series in a danganronpa-styled visual. There are plenty of Fangans on YouTube that are made with video editors, so you can use these as examples.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiCwdvC57cBroVoQvrbfH9LFBU3MFX-By
(This link is a playlist to Danganronpa 2's Gameplay if you're not worried about spoilers)
*Say something you think would fit*
*Say something you think would fit*
Musicians create the soundtrack for the series.
Note: The music I'm looking for is "Danganronpa-styled". Your audition doesn't have to have danganronpa music in it, but keep in mind that this is what being a musician for the series will entail.
