Introductory Post
Hello, I'm Arthur. And I'm Eames
And we'd like to tell you about a new project, starring us. And Ariadne, and Cobb, and Yusuf, and possibly Saito.
And me? Sorry Nash. You're dead.
Oh... Right, so this project. It's a visual novel, otherwise known as a dating sim, that will follow Arthur around as he steals corporate secrets and looks for true love. Why do you get to be the hero here again?
Because I'm statistically the most popular person to ship out of the whole team. It's my ass. Ah yes, your arse...
Focus, Eames. Right, so, we are soliciting people interested in participating in the creation process for this little project. It is a decently sized undertaking, and the more people help develop it, the better it will be in the end.
We'll need artists and play testers later on in the process, but right now we are looking for people who are interested in the project and would like to help by brainstorming. What sort of plot would you like to see? What sort of ships? What personalty traits should definitely show up, and what traits do you really not want to see? You can help in a few ways. You can take the upcoming survey and give your input, and you can sign up to be part of the development team, which will have more direct input on the direction of the game, get to play test the game before anyone else has seen it, and maybe even provide chunks of the required script if you're the writerly, hands on type.
If you'd like to sign up for the team, comment here saying if you'd want to help with planning, testing, writing or art and you'll be invited to the comm. There's no minimum or maximum level of participation. If you want to understand more about Visual Novels in general, check out RenPy, the engine we will be using to create the game. If you have questions about this project in particular, go ahead and ask them here. We promise that the answer will not come in this absurd puppetry format.
I am also told that there is a first born child avaiable to anyone who'd like to help out. How does that work if more than one person decides to help?
Abduction. Ah, well, there you have it, and thank you for listening.
Silly gimmick aside, what this project really needs right now is the game version of beta readers. If you think it would be cool to play a visual novel based on Inception and are willing to serve as a sounding board for the planning stages of the project, please speak up and you will be added to the group. If you want to help in some other, future aspect of the game, feel free to mention that too.
