![The Adventures of Bluke Bifton (Original Game) [Closed]](https://d1m9vqlvl3fy94.cloudfront.net/project/attachment/83004/blukebiftonpropic__1_.png)
Synopsis
For the inhabitants of the Isle of Flungo, all that has ever been known is peace. Most would consider this a paradise, but for wannabe adventurer Bluke Bifton, this island is a dull bore. Lucky for Bluke, then, that chaos soon finds its way to his home in the form of a mysterious invading force. Allying with his long-time neighbor Captain Munch and meeting a few other allies along the way, Bluke and his new ensemble seek to challenge the intruders to their home. How they do it? Well, that’s up to you.
The Adventures of Bluke Bifton is a point-and-click adventure game with a heavy emphasis on choice and strong characters. As players advance through the game as the titular Bluke, they’ll be offered varying choices with equally varying outcomes. Want to be a pacifist? An anarchist? When it comes down to it, the way that Bluke deals with the ever-changing cast of absurd characters is the player’s choice.
For this casting call, we’re looking for a wide variety of voice types, accents, and personalities! However, there are a few things that might be helpful to know before auditioning.
Discord
Discord is required! Having a discord just makes communication a lot easier for us when it comes to casting, giving out scripts, and the such. Consider joining our discord server if you audition!

How we’ll cast
We’ll be casting based off of voice, line delivery, and mic quality.
Since this will be a game on PC storefronts, we won’t be able to accept any auditions with audio quality issues such as background noise, peaking, mic puffs, etc.
Outside of that, we’ll mostly just be looking for voices that could fit alongside good line delivery! Feel free to take a swing at these roles, even if you don’t think you would normally fit. For a lot of these characters, we don’t have an exact voice in mind.
Oh, and please understand that this game does have a good amount of swearing and violence in it (if you couldn’t already tell). We’re planning on having a ‘PG’ mode where harsh language and violence is censored or removed, but if you’re auditioning for the characters then there won’t really be a way to avoid this. Please be aware of this if you plan on auditioning!
Payment
Although this isn’t listed as a paid project, we’d love to be able to compensate our voice actors if we’re able to. This really comes down to how well the game does when it’s eventually released. We unfortunately don’t have a lot of funds to dedicate to things currently, so we can’t promise anything right now. However, if the game does end up selling on release we’d love to compensate everyone on this project, and plan to. Thank you for understanding!
Overall, we hope you consider auditioning. Thanks for checking this project out!
Once a cereal mascot of great acclaim, Captain Munch’s days of breakfast-induced stardom are now over. Dropped by his sponsors years back, Munch spends most of his nights in the pub, getting into bar fights that he inevitably loses. However, despite this downturn in his life, Captain Munch still remains confident and holds onto hope for a change in his life. Bluke, little does he know, will be the catalyst for just that.
Captain Munch is one of the main characters of the game, and as such will have a massive amount of lines. When he's in a normal mood, Captain Munch's voice is likely to sound worn-out, fitting for the kind of "has-been" character that he's become. It's likely that a deeper, older sounding voice would fit best. When he's in a fighting mood however, Captain Munch takes on a very different tone, letting fury (and sometimes a bit of drunken rage) roar through.

“To put it simply for ya Bluke, things could be better. I’d like to say things could be worse... but I’d be lyin’ to ya. I’m... uh... pretty much livin’ up shit creek right now, son.”
“They’re beating up my pride n’ joy, Bluke! You think I’m gonna take that?”
“Oh, ya wanna play dirty then, ya bastard?! I’m gonna soak yer fuckin’ beard in red!”
Outfitted with all of the tenets of a true explorer, the boisterous Krekner frames every situation as an adventure, no matter how mundane or absurd. Krekner’s mission is to map out the entire Isle of Flungo with his partner Paul at his side. However, these plans are quickly interrupted when the Isle encounters a true threat, leading to Krekner facing what could be called the first true adventure in his life.
Krekner is one of the main characters of the game, and as such will have a massive amount of lines. We’re looking for an over-the-top, exuberant voice that fits the “true explorer” that Krekner believes he is. He should have an Australian accent.
Full portraits: https://imgur.com/a/6Nhkhfj
“The name’s Krekner! And this is my companion, Paul!”
“He’s correct, my large foe! We don’t tolerate crime on this Isle, so we’ll have to bring you to justice if you don’t cease your crime!”
“A fellow explorer fallen to this beast... let’s rip this creature apart, Paul! You and me!”
Vinny is a delinquent in every sense of the word. Showing up on the Isle solely to cause chaos, Vinny has no respect for anybody besides his partner Huel. The sheer force of these two’s overwhelming idiocy threatens any kind of peace on the island.
We’re looking for an enthusiastic voice appropriate for the kind of criminal that Vinny is. Basically, just crank the energy up to 11. Vinny has no filter, and he certainly has a lot of volume to his voice too.
Full portraits: https://imgur.com/a/8VfEzvC
“Damn right, Huel! Check this shit out!”
“Munchmobile?! This thing’s gonna be more like the Crunchmobile when we’re done with it, Huel! You get it? Because we’re crunchin’ this thing the fuck up!”
“I've never seen anything like it! Looks like time took a fat shit on you, Cap! It’s kinda makin’ me sad!”
All Huel really wants is to be entertained, even when it comes at the expense of somebody or everybody else. Tagging along to the Isle, Huel doesn’t care about much other than the outright chaos that he’s been told about. The sheer force of his and Vinny’s overwhelming idiocy threatens any kind of peace on the island.
When it comes to Huel's voice, we're looking for a deeper, gruffer voice to contrast with Vinny's. At the same time, Huel should keep up a similar level of energy. Basically, the guy's hyped to be causing a bunch of chaos, but less so in a complete manic-insane way and more so like he simply finds it incredibly entertaining.

“Holy shit, Vinny! Look how deflated he looks!”
“Damn, Vinny! How’d he not go down?! Let me take a swing!”
“Man, that’s right! Zultan’s heading to town! When he’s done with this place, all that’s gonna be left is a pile of smoking rubble!”
When hearing him talk, you might think Captain Saltbeard is a true pirate. After all, he appears to know his way around a ship, and certainly has the mannerisms of a real captain of the high seas. However, in truth, Saltbeard’s really just the mascot for a popular burger chain. Saltbeard takes his job very seriously, and has never been seen breaking character even once.
We’re looking for the outrageous pirate voice you’ve probably heard a thousand times by now. Basically just a gruff tone with the classic ‘pirate’s accent.’
Full portraits: https://imgur.com/a/SxYvhK7
“Avast, ye scallywags! It be me, Saltbeard! Welcome to Saltburger, where we got the saltiest steals in town!”
“Avast! Yar best be plunderin’ our deals, or yer wallet’s goin’ to walk the plank! Har har har!”
“Yer friends with this crusty landlubber? I’ll bury yer entire crew in Davy Jones’ Locker then, yarrr!!”
When the invaders arrived to the Isle, Gusk City was one of the first places to go. As its leader, Mayor McWaldo initially felt a responsibility to defend the place, but his mind quickly changed when he saw a massive fleshy man barrel through the front gate. The Mayor was suddenly content with sneaking out of the city, and waiting for the attack to be over. Yeah, he’s not the most heroic kind of guy.
We’re looking for a timid, kind of stuttery voice for Mayor McWaldo that fits the nervous character that he is.
Full portraits: https://imgur.com/a/IIjnsLr
“O-oh no! M-more raiders! And they’re coming in vehicles now, too!! T-take cover everybody! Aahh!!!!”
“I’m the Mayor of Gusk City, yeah! Mayor McWaldo! N-nice to meet you, whatever you said your names were...”
“I m-mean you’re a little late... the entire town is pretty much a smoking pile of rubble already... b-but it’s my pile of rubble, damn it! S-so it’s worth saving!”
Lord Knucklenuts doesn’t think. Lord Knucklenuts is just an unstoppable force, a behemoth of a man with two massive fists. If you get in the way of his objective, you should consider your fate pretty much sealed at that point. Lord Knucklenuts will probably make you into a pancake.
For Lord Knucklenuts, we're looking for a gruff, sluggish voice. Kind of like a giant from a fantasy setting - Knucklenuts' voice might be intimidating, but his way of speaking suggests that he's not exactly the most intelligent.

“Gwah hah hah! Boom... goes the... building!! Scream... goes the... people!!”
“Gwah hah... more flimsy... little men... to crush!! Like it... or not... this Isle... belongs... to Lord Zultan now!!”
“Search... must... continue...! Rip and tear... town... to shreds!!”
As Bluke’s Dad, Pops Bifton tries his hardest to keep the family afloat. The family restaurant, Bifton’s Bar & Grill, isn’t seeing the most business, but Pops always makes sure that the quality of his dishes doesn’t disappoint. He may have a bit of a temper, but the truth is that he always puts his family first... even when it’s at the expense of others.
We’re looking for a fatherly voice for Pops, possibly with a slight bit of roughness to it, but it’s not totally necessary.

“You know I hate to put you to work so early, son, but it looks like we already got a regular at the counter. What do you think about starting your shift a little early today?”
“Glad to see you so pumped for the food, gentlemen. I assure you that the food here at Bifton’s Bar and Grill does not disappoint.”
“The hell did you just say to me, you little shit? You’re going to plant your ass behind that counter right now, Bluke!”
As the storyteller of this tale, the Narrator opens Bluke’s story with a bit of history. Outside of this, they like to chime in every once in a while, but they’re mostly content with letting things play out. Eh, it’s Bluke’s choice how things go, right? It’s not the narrator’s problem.
For the narrator, we’re pretty much open for anything. Try out as many voices and accents as you want.
“If I told you of a land that exists without conflict, would you believe me? A land of peace... where no man knows war. The place I describe may sound paramount to a fairy tale. But I assure you, friend, this place is very real.”
“Bluke and crew vs. some criminals!! Let’s see how this one goes!”
“This is where a story begins. This story I refer to is unique, however. I cannot predict it’s ending, my friend... but I can witness how it begins.”
Meet Jevin Kames, film superstar. Recognized for his movies worldwide, wherever Jevin goes, fans follow. Jevin meets our heroes in the midst of their journey, and Bluke, being a huge fan, just can’t wait to get his autograph.
When it comes to Jevin, we’re looking for a confident, cocky voice fitting for a famous actor. Note: must be willing to scream for an extended period of time.
Full portrait: https://imgur.com/a/y6YbSpq
"The name’s Jevin Kames. I’m guessing you’re too starstruck to talk to me, kid. Don’t worry, I get that a lot."
“And be sure not to miss ‘Thickman Thungo and the Rogue Bungler’, kid. It’s in theatres later this year.”
“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” (sound like you’re in pain for 30 seconds)
Traveling Tuft is a nomad. He’s embarked on a pilgrimage in fact, and for a very specific reason as well. Simply said, Tuft hopes to someday discover the most delicious food in the world. Tuft has been traveling these lands for many years now, and will not rest until he has tasted the perfect meal.
Tuft doesn’t exactly look super young, but outside of that, the voice isn’t set in stone on anything in particular. Feel free to try out some different interpretations if you’d like!
Full portrait: https://imgur.com/a/BpJC2kw
“Take heed, fellow travelers! I am known as Traveling Tuft, and I am on a pilgrimage to discover the most religiously delicious food in this land!”
“As this legendary luncheon took hold on my tongue, I refused to let it overpower me. That moment... it was the closest I had ever been. But yet... it was not perfection.”
“Aside from the legend I seek to confirm, I know nothing more of this world. In order to discover this slumbering snack... I stripped away everything else.”
Come one, come all! The fair is now in session! Witness extraordinary shows put on by Fingle, the magical fairy, and the Great Howardini, the plastered, drunken unicorn! On second thought, maybe Howard shouldn’t be putting on a show in this state...
Based on Howardini’s appearance, he clearly isn’t doing so hot. It figures that a tipsy, slurred speech pattern would fit best for his character.
Full portrait: https://imgur.com/a/NY6CCJe
“I’m’a, the, Great Howard... uh... ini! I’m Howardini, everyone...!”
“I’m not blasted, Fingle... buuut I am gonna be blastin’... out of a... uh... cannon! For the show! Would ya kids like’ta... see that?!”
“Don’ worry, Fiiingle. I can... do the show just fiiiine.”
Hugo Puke is the epitome of discipline - calm, collected, and always ready to follow orders. Despite his training as a Barf Ranger, however, Hugo has found himself in a real spot of trouble. Stranded in the wilderness with his only lifeline being a radio, it’s up to Bluke to communicate with Hugo and navigate him out of the situation he’s in.
We imagine Hugo sounding something like a disciplined soldier. He’ll have some sort of filter put over his voice to mimic the fact that he’s speaking over the radio.
“Roger! Roger! Does anybody read?”
“This is Hugo Puke of the Barf Rangers... I’m currently stranded in the wilderness... located on some strange island, I believe...”
“Roger that. It looks pretty dark in there, but I have a flare at the ready.”
If you were to call Craffle a mad scientist, she’d probably take it as a compliment. Crafter of various potions, Craffle peddles her concoctions to folks on a traveling cart. Don’t expect Craffle to take responsibility if any of her potions produce some unexpected effects, however. After what’s happened in the past, she’s made sure she’s liability free...
For Craffle’s voice, something energetic and excited would fit best. She should sound hyped to be giving her potions to people, because she definitely is.
Full portrait: https://imgur.com/a/JUp9QDK
“Heeeellloooo! Could I interest you folks in some potions? We’re holding a very special all-you-can-drink potion event today! And who would want to miss out on a deal like that?!”
“Sure, these potions may be free of charge, but I’m also free of any responsibility!! Ahah!”
“So, what d’ya think? Is it chugging time or what?!”
