Lost Skies - Game Studio Casting Call

Project Overview

This project is currently in its early conceptual phase. Nothing is finalized, not the art style, not the full cast, not even the final shape of the story. This is a foundation, not a finished blueprint. I’m looking to build a small, passionate team of artists, writers, voice actors, designers, and developers who want to help shape something from the ground up. The goal is to create a fantasy game with a strong narrative focus, atmospheric worldbuilding, and lovable characters.


STORY CONCEPT (EARLY DRAFT)

The story takes place in a fantasy world shaped by war, forgotten histories, and fractured belief systems. The game opens in a quiet seaside town. Life there is repetitive, predictable, safe, and suffocating. For the protagonist, it feels like time itself has stalled. Days pass without purpose, and dreams feel like something meant for other people. Everything changes when a merchant arrives. Unlike other travelers, this one isn’t here to trade. This encounter becomes the inciting fracture, drawing the protagonist into a wider world filled with shifting lands, hidden truths, and forces that operate just beyond human understanding. This story is not locked in. Characters, locations, and events may evolve as the team collaborates. The core focus is on personal perspective, slow reveals, and emotional storytelling rather than constant action.


GAME DIRECTION (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

While still flexible, current ideas include:

  • Narrative-heavy gameplay

  • Strong emphasis on dialogue and player choice

  • Exploration of environments that may change or behave unpredictably

  • Slow-burn mystery

All mechanics and systems are open for discussion.


WHO I’M LOOKING FOR

I’m looking for people who:

  • Enjoy worldbuilding and collaboration

  • Are okay with things being unfinished and experimental

  • Want to help shape tone, story, and identity.

  • Quality Audio

  • Must have discord

  • Must be 18+

Roles of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Writers

  • Concept Artists / Character Designers

  • Environment Artists

  • Voice Actors (for early test scenes or future demos)

  • Programmers / Game Designers

  • Sound Designers / Composers

Experience level doesn’t matter as much as passion, communication, and consistency.


IMPORTANT NOTE

This is not a paid project at this stage.
This is a passion project intended to grow into something more concrete over time. Any future monetization or funding would be discussed transparently with the team.


WHY JOIN EARLY?

Because this is a chance to:

  • Influence the story from its very beginning

  • Practice your craft, whether that be voice acting, art, writing, etc

  • Build something meaningful with a small, dedicated group

  • Grow alongside the project instead of joining late

If you enjoy slow-burn narratives and mysterious worlds, then this is for you.

Latest Updates

  • FOR THE NEW VILLAIN ROLES!

    I've seen the submissions I want to finalize a couple of things before I send requests to people!

Artist

Artist
open
Paid: Flat Rate 100 USD

We’re looking for an artist to help bring characters to life for a narrative-driven indie game demo set in a fantasy world with deeper sci-fi elements beneath the surface. This role will focus on character illustrations used for dialogue, storytelling moments, and potential cutscenes. While an anime-inspired style is preferred, we are open to other styles as long as they are expressive, consistent, and fit a story-driven game. This is an early-stage demo project, so flexibility and collaboration are important. You’ll be working alongside a small team of writers and developers to help establish the visual identity of the game.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

What We’re Looking For:

- Someone who can draw character portraits (bust or half-body is perfect)

- Ability to show different expressions and emotions for characters

- Comfortable taking a written idea and turning it into a visual design

- Can keep the style consistent across multiple characters

- Good understanding of anatomy and character design

- Able to make characters feel alive through their expressions and personality

- Open to feedback and willing to make small changes if needed

- Easy to communicate with and collaborative

- Bonus if you enjoy storytelling or working on worldbuilding-heavy projects

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Audition Requirement:

Please submit:

Portfolio or examples of your work

(Optional) A quick sketch or character sample based on your style

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

This is a low-budget indie project, so we want to be fully transparent about the payment.

The $100 covers work for the initial demo phase only

If the project continues beyond the demo, we would prefer to continue working with the same artist under improved compensation.

Full credit will be given for all work.
