Project:
MvM: The Gap Theory

Details:
This is my first game to be released on AGS An 8 bit Lovecraftian Steampunk adventure RPG set in the Hadean Eon of primordial times, it follows the story of a guardian angel who must help rid the world of time travelling demons who are trying to change the future and create an alternate reality by breeding Warp Worms to create wormholes and enslave mankind. It has religious overtones, so if that makes you uncomfortable, this might not be a good fit. However, if you are so inclined, I plan to include an option that lets you play for the dark side, if you wish :)
The story has some somewhat disturbing scenes of hell and torture, so if horror bothers you, you might not like to work on this one.

Positions Available:
I need voice actors for the following roles:
James Williams, a main character. Paleontologist of the excavation which discovers the ancient time travelling technology and is abducted by the demonic entities. A stoic and observant Indiana Jones type character, I envisioned for this one a low, male monotone voice similar to Charles Reed in Sinking City.

Penelope Brighton Role taken. Penny is an alternate main character. Head archaeologist of the excavation, she is a fiery, stubborn skeptic who gets pulled into the wormhole with James and stuck in the hell dimension. For this one I want a woman with an English accent, similar to Eevee in The Mummy.

St. Pete Pete is the Guardian Angel that helps guide the player along the tutorial and tells the story in the beginning of the game. He's not a main character, but he's got a good chunk of dialog and a lot of personality. This character was inspired by Whistler from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so I was hoping for a similar accent and voice, though I've also considered tweaking him, possibly making him have sort of an Israeli accent. It is hard to find examples of the Whistler character since he only appears very briefly for two episodes, Becoming Part 1 and Part 2.

Lucifer/The Devil I want a sinister, low, generic narrator type voice for the devil. A good example of this is the narrator in The Cave.

Cupid I want somebody who can impersonate Wally from Monkey Island for this role as that is my inspiration for this character.

Generic Voice Acting I have several other characters that I need voice acting for, just regular people, angels, demons, etc. Anybody who is interested, let me know.


That's it for voice acting for now. I will add positions if they come up. Let me know if you are interested and include some examples of your work, and I can message you the script.

In addition to voice actors, it would help to have somebody who knows how to make some quality animations for cutscenes. I want to make pop art/graphic novel style animated cutscenes, as well as smaller animations like having vines growing around the borders of manuscripts and such. I do have some basic knowledge of animating things, but I could use somebody who's more proficient at making smoother animations than I am.

Other than voice actors and animators, I primarily would like to work on this on my own. However, recognizing that this may be a monumental task for a beginner, I am open to consider any other help anybody feels inclined to offer, and would be very appreciative of any such offers or advice. Since I am trying to improve my art and coding skills, I would like to do the majority of the work, but I do have a lot of artwork and programming to complete, so if you're interested in creating some 8 bit pixel art for fantasy creatures and such, let me know. I can give you something.

One thing that I am currently struggling with is thinking of ideas for puzzles that would be interesting. I want to make something original and not just another adventure game puzzle. I like the idea of incorporating the text parser, booby traps, codes, riddles, and other sorts of puzzles, all related to the seven deadly sins and temptations. For more information, send me a PM if you would like to contribute. I can give you more details of the storyline.

UPDATE:
I have had a new idea for the game, and now I am also asking for POETS who would like to write some lines of poetry to be used in the game. Again, the theme is the seven deadly sins. Thank you.

Deadline:
Ongoing, planning to expand the game and release several episodes.
