"MainSpring Rays: The Power"
Little game which play Big.
Dev Team Open Call announce!
Can't believe i am saying this, but, it's actually happening!
I am looking for people who would like to join to the dev team of my game!
MainSpring Rays: The Power based on life of a russian immigrant [the author], wrapped in surreal metaphors on a fantasy-like word building base. Little melancholic story about everyday life horrors, with hopeful message
MSRTP is a little indie visual novel. However, it has not popular core solutions, which I, as author, wish game industry and media in general a very Right Now
The game has 3 main principles:
Accessibility Focus
Disabled players are included in audience and every aspect of the game is treated with "is this accessible? yes - go, no - fix" mindset.
The goal is to create the game which will be accessible by default to all known disability types - vision, hearing, motoric, with no need of extra menu options slapped on already made gameplay.
To make this goal come true a lot of techniques used: not using epilepsy triggering video effects, default big fount size of game interface, Special Balance Rule, and many more (more details about it in next promo posts)
I assume that there will be mistakes on that, cause i am new at coding but if to make games - only like this, so that's why one of Open Call roles is Accessibility Consultant/Tester, who needs to be of course, disabled
Representation focus
Characters with various appearance features, medical conditions, all fat - all shown gorgeous and respectful
even if i draw representative art for about a decade, there is Open Call role for Representation Writing Consultant because i am white and don't want to write black character badly, don't have face burn, etc
it's not surprise for my audience to see these designs, but apparently the thing that characters needs to have more body types and appearance than one model for million character in one game is discovery to be made in game industry
The game is free
I want to give all people chance to play no matter of their income, including income of people who can't buy even one cofee cup by month
Ok, some more important info about the game?
A little about the plot:
In the game you - player (the main hero), lead small group of refugees to Light, through world which falls to darkness. You go through hells of life guiding by Light Dots on Sky, keeping warmth inside and helping each other in hard times. The ending is the only one. The Good one
It's little visual novel. It's already has working rough prototype with full written story, most of graphic is ready, text written but not edited.
So this is why we here - Open Call!
Voice actors (details - on castingcall.club project page, link below)
Accessibility consultants and testers (if you know coding - cool, but you can be just disabled person)
Representation Consultants
Grammar editor (my eng is my second, help)
may add more in dev process
! Unfortunatelly, it's volunteer (unpaid) work.
But, if you have enough free time and passion for project of such values, it can be interesting
Contacts, if you interested:
Also, i created the page on CASTINGCALL.CLUB - you can apply there, especially on voice actors roles
So excited to post this announce! Will wait for your letters
