Hello,

The idea of this project started in 2012. I am here in order to finalize it.
Therefor, I am looking for some artist for my Visual Novel (Kinetic one, meaning no choices).

Plot
Maksimilian is a proud soldier devoted to his motherland. He controls of his emotions well and never discuss orders. However that does not mean he is a stupid and can not think by himself. It is just that he is a soldier who truly trust orders and hierarchy. Not long ago he has been affected to an important and secret project called DR001. This huge structure hidden in a cold desert place is used to put some people in quarantine. These people have the particularity to have been missing for some time, sometimes several years, and reappeared without any explanation. Some of them have very strange behaviour and because of the mystery surrounding them, the government decided to keep them in a area under surveillance until someone finds out what really happened to them. But some problem will occur like unexplained wounds, missing soldiers and impaired memories, disturbing Maksimilian's faultless carreer.

Compensation
I plan to do a crowfunding campaign in order to raise funds to pay the hired person (in this case sketches would be useful in order to have a better campaign). Otherwise I could pay with my own money but I would be more limited; please give me your price.
Two options:
Paid at the task
Pourcentage of the benefice for each copy of the game sold

What I need
Someone who is really interested in the project and would be part of it will be prefered.
I know what I needd:
12 background
6 CG
10 characters
A set of expressions will be needed for the characters and at least 1 pose and outfit. I'll need CG including mutilation and blood. Most of the backgrounds will be inside the building but I'll need some few of the outside.

I have defined ideas for the characters designs and also had some sketches from a previous collaborator who stopped working because of a lack of time. You may propose any idea or try to reproduce the same design which I liked a lot. What is important is to stick to the project until the end.

Style
Any style is welcome, what I am looking for is a durable partner who would be able and agree to do all the graphic stuff of the game (characters sprites, CG, backgrounds) in order to have a coherent art design.

Writing
The story contains 24 000 words. One idea was to do this kinetic novel as the first game/story and to developp others after this one (potentially in the same universe) who would offer some elements of gameplay.

Planning
T: Hire date
T + 1 month: sketches
T + 2 months: crowfunding campaign
T + 3 months: development of the graphics ressources
T + 4 months: feedback, modifications and final validation of the graphics resources
T + 5 months: integration of the graphics resources
T + 6 months: preparing the publication of the game
T + 7 months: publication of the game

More informations
I am currently writing the story in French (since I am French) and someone who speaks French might be better for an easier communication. English translation will be considered after release.
OST is done and voice acting would be cool but I can't afford this for now.
Please be sure that you really are interested and are ready to be involved in the project; only postulate if you are ready to go the long way.
We may discuss with Discord, Teams or another communication tool.
I'd like to release the game on Steam.

If you have any questions, just ask me.
