TwF:LUCAS will be a series of visual novels that follow Luke, a lethargic hacker with a strange aversion to technology.

Hello! I am a independent digital artist and rookie game developer looking to build a team to help bring TwistedFates:LUCAS to life!

At the moment, I am searching for a Co-Programmer & Debugger, a Background & Environment Artist, and a Graphic User Interface Designer, though I do have plans to reach out to voice/audio design/music talent in the future as the project grows. A couple of things for transparency:

🚫 NO GEN-AI. I refuse to accept or take part in any projects that utilize AI-generated writing, imagery, sounds, voice, etc.

🏥 I WILL BE OUT OF OFFICE intermittently throughout May and throughout the entirety of ****June ****due to an upcoming major surgery. This means that I will be unable to work on other projects while I focus on recovery. I’ve included a calendar to help with figuring out dates and deadlines! Note that I will NOT be providing rush services, as I am chronically ill.

What I’m Looking For:

I’m looking for creatives who are:

• enthusiastic about TwistedFates:LUCAS and bringing indie projects to life!
• excited about the entire creative process of making a game!
• vibe well with their teammates!
• able to keep secrets! Please don’t release details about the project until it’s done!
• on Discord! All communication and collaboration within the project will be handled via a private Discord server.

What I Can Offer:

As this is a self-funded project, I’m willing to offer my own skills as well as financial compensation! You can pick either financial compensation OR a trade per project! (Each episode is a project!)

• BUDGET: Only offering trades at the moment—researching a reasonable budget if things pick up.
• Character Art & Design: I can collaborate with you to bring characters to life, from conceptualization via building a mood board to sketches, to final design!
  • Examples (Click to reveal some previews!) - More on Unvale!
• Character Promo Art: Already have a design in mind but need a good splash image for your game or project? I can make that happen for you!
• Quality Assurance/Playtesting: I have 2 years of AAA quality assurance experience and a lifetime experience of playing video games in general. I will happily playtest your game and provide feedback on functionality and text. I will also test to make sure fixes are implemented and the game runs smoothly.
