**Please see the update**
Hi everyone! With chapter 3 coming up soon, we’ve decided that now is the time to open a casting call for the new characters (Vivienne & Wes), as well as the pre-existing characters whose VAs were unable to continue with the project.
Please read the below to ensure that you are fully aware of the project and what you may be getting yourself in for!
Additionally, please feel free to let me know via PM if you wish to audition, but feel you cannot do so in the given time frame. My discord is Nopeunintended #8291 for anyone who prefers using it to communicate^^
Is this a paid role?
Since the game is operating on a non-commercial, fan-driven basis, the Voice Acting roles will not be paid.
In contrast, we are open to payment for the asset creation roles, and we're particularly looking for budding artists or animators who can do execution, climax reasoning, and/or body discovery art or videos. This is consistent with how the original project was presented.
To prevent this project from being labelled as a ‘paid’ project, the asset creation paid amount will be set to '0'
General Requirements:
- We are looking primarily for people who can stick with the project until the end (which will drag into the years). In fact, it's been roughly three years since the project began! Admittedly, this has not been helped by our hiatuses, but we have long since pledged to complete this project absent some fairly extreme circumstances.
- In terms of the cast as a whole, we have almost no set requirements - if you feel your voice is appropriate for a character, please don't hesitate to audition! You are free to use any lines that have been put here and/or any you can come up with yourself!
- You are OK with traced sprites, and a project that 'is no Kill/Cure' (or nowadays, 'is no Shattered Hope'). At the end of the day, this is a passion project above all else - for context, the entire game up to the end of Chapter 1 was initially private, and our original intent was to only produce this for our friends to play for fun.
Is it really a playable game?
Yep! To give you an idea of the scope of the project as of now, the segments that have been released amount to around 10-15 hours of playable content, with far more to be expected. This includes the prologue and a fully-completed chapter 1 and 2, which are viewable on the YouTube channel and playable via download from itch.io
Overview
Danganronpa: New World Order [aka DanganFanfic v2: New World Order] is a playable fan game/visual novel, featuring a fresh cast of characters, most of whom are based veryveryvery vaguely on real life friends [hence the tongue-in-cheek disclaimer you get in the title sequence]. As of now, the game is playable up to the end of chapter 2, and we plan to continue going strong with the project and seeing it through to the end.
The storyline is different to the main series, with the game being set in a talent-driven world, ruled by 16 'Great Families' which each hold exclusive jurisdiction over a separate area, such as education, religion, entertainment, and so forth. Amidst the strict regularity of this 'New World Order' [*theme song plays*] came a series of events that shook the system to the core, culminating in a killing game with most of the original Family Heads as the participants. To this date, the mastermind of that incident, and how exactly they managed to orchestrate such a large-scale kidnapping, remains a mystery.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the world quickly shifted to a merits-based system rather than the former hereditary one.
It is thus that we're brought to the start of Danganronpa: New World Order, which takes place during the final stages of the Great Talent Program, an initiative designed to scout out candidates to replace the former Family Heads. By this point, the talent pool had been reduced to 50 batches, ranked from most to least compatible and with each batch possessing 16 candidates.
The story follows the top batch of candidates, deemed to be most capable of succeeding as the head of their respective Great Family, and the horrifying ordeal they have to endure after they are kidnapped and trapped under a dome with only one means of escape. No points for guessing what it is...
