I have an interesting project that I have been working on for the past year. The entire thing is rather complicated, so I'll try to simplify it.
Players earn tickets by completing missions in video games. Any game across any console. In the future they will be able to use these tickets for a variety of things, but primarily to be able to play the game of Shopkeepers.
The game itself is something that I personally created. The easiest way to describe it is Animated Survivor. It's geared towards gaming instead of physical abilities, with it's own unique way of eliminating players.
This game becomes an animated visual novel. The stories that the players make are shown to everyone through YouTube. Hopefully attracting more people to come and complete missions.
Right now, everything above is in theory. I created a prologue or pilot episode to hopefully attract people and sponsors.
Everything has been paid for out of my own pocket, so initially I was hoping to cut costs by using AI voices.
I realized that was a mistake, that it couldn't replicate what a real human voice can do. The feelings that a unique voice can give is essential.
I'm hoping that you can help me make my dream of Shopkeepers become a reality!
Thank you to everyone who applied and showed interest in this project!
I've officially launched Shopkeepers, including the very first video! Here is a link to it, if you're interested in taking a look for yourself! (https://youtu.be/_ZET7PjwVM0)
I also want to formally invite anyone to join our official discord! (https://discord.gg/ReCs3hm8c9)
Mayor
A walking cliche. The kind-hearted old Mayor that started up the town himself. He’s very proper, with formal speech and plenty of dramatic pauses.
His speech changes dramatically based on his current mood. It should be easy to tell what emotion he is expressing without even seeing the image.
Prove yourself worthy of becoming a Shopkeeper!
Pen
Quarter-Orc, with the spunk to back that up. You don’t want to get on her bad side! She’s a tomboy at heart, striving to be the best at whatever she does!
Although she may sound tough, she’s loyal to a fault. She will blindly back up her friends and put everything she has into something she believes in! There’s nobody that’s more willing to put themselves in front of others when danger comes.
I oughtta teach you a lesson!
Glorb
A strange fish man that always ends up the butt of the joke. He's truly a unique character who tries his best to not let the constant teasing get to him. Despite his scary looks, he's definitely more scared of you. He jumps at anything!
He talks in a slightly garbled voice. How you would imagine a fish-man would talk, that's how he talks
I didn't see you sneak up, maybe warn me next time!
Newt
A mysterious creature, nobody is quite sure what he actually is. He doesn't give away much to his backstory, speaking with very few words and a hushed tone.
Despite his rather cute appearance, he isn't one to mess around with. However his inquisitive nature will often find him in trouble.
I suppose I should show myself
Elana
The attractive Market owner, her mischievous nature isn't to be taken lightly. She may speak soft and sweet, but secretly she wants to watch the world burn just a little.
It's uncertain if she is a fairy or an angel or some other celestial being. She seems to have some sort of power, but she doesn't let on anything about it!
Oh how I've awaited you're arrival!
I am looking for someone to take on the task of editing! They will be the lead, however I plan to also help with the editing myself, even if it's just with the direction!
This editing job is "putting everything together". I have backgrounds, characters, text-boxes, voice-overs and music, but everything needs to be put together correctly.
The video itself will be approximately 6-7 minutes in length. The characters, backgrounds and text-boxes have all been combined into "scenes". I have 23 of these in total, excluding the intro I also have created.
The primary goal is to sync the words to the audio. I don't think it's too much of an issue, but it does require a lot of work. After that is done, the extra effects can be added to give it that pop!
*Say something you think would fit*
