Read this entire description as it has things of expectations and ideas for the audition.
THIS IS FOR THE FULL GAME, NOT THE DEMO!!!
CURRENTLY THIS PROJECT IS VOLUNTEER; WE ARE LOOKING INTO PUBLISHERS/INVESTORS TO PAY OUR TEAM. PLEASE BE AWARE THIS PROJECT MAY STAY UNPAID IF WE CANNOT FIND PEOPLE.
INTRODUCTION:
Starry Station is a sci-fi mascot horror game that follows Ash, a teenage girl, in hopes of finding her mom after getting called back to a mysterious space station camp she used to attend as a kid. As she goes further through Starry Station, scarier and more ominous events as she tries to uncover where her mom went and where to go next.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Once the deadline is met, it could take an hour to potentially a couple of days for everyone to get accepted. Those who are accepted will get sent a friend request on Discord by Moonlight; you will get invited to the Discord server, where it will take you to a mini interview to get general information and to know you better. Once you get accepted after the interview, you will be invited to a Google Drive; this is where most of our files will be stored, with some tasks submitted there but mostly on Discord. We do not have a specific number of people for each role, so do not get your hopes down.
PLEASE HAVE: DISCORD AND ACCESS TO GOOGLE DRIVE. IN YOUR AUDITION, YOU SHOULD ADD YOUR DISCORD, NOT YOUR EMAIL (THIS WILL BE ASKED DURING THE INTERVIEW).
REQUIREMENTS/WHAT WE ASK OF YOU:
NO MINORS!!! 18+ ONLY!!!
PLAY THE DEMO OF STARRY STATION BEFORE APPLYING!!! Just so you know what you are getting yourself into. Available on Steam!
Obviously, have fun. We want people to enjoy and be inspired by our project, not to be instantly burnt out. If we make something we truly enjoy, we can produce a better consumer product.
For VAs, please submit clean recordings without noise from air conditioners or fans in the background. It is alright if you use noise reduction, but please not that much so we can retain quality. We also recommend having a prosumer microphone without using things such as phones for quality reasons.
Please, over time, keep the voice you had in mind for the character the same, just so that the idea of the character does not change unless we ask you to change it.
We have ideas of potentially stretching this game out for multiple chapters, so we want to cast people who will be willing to stick with us for a while. Additionally, be sure you have the time and the ability to stick around, as if you cannot for even the first game, then it would only result in us getting hurt.
For the majority of roles, include a portfolio of past work.
Additionally, and I say this once more, please have a Discord included in your application. It would additionally be better to get to know everyone in the Discord, so we recommend chatting once in a while to get to know everyone better.
WHO ARE WE?:
I am MoonLightX1, the founder and lead developer of the branded studio, "LunarTech Studios". We strive to bring people together to make amazing products and games.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Discord: moonlightx1
