Project:
Radical Complex: The Story of A Band (working title) A chance of a lifetime to be a No.1 Band!

Details:
It tells the story of a 20 year old guy named Joe, who appears to have a pretty decent life. I mean, working at a music store, having a bunch of great friends and dating his high school honey seems to be totally cool. But it appears that he wants something more out of his life. In fact, him and his friends formed a band and their mission: Be the world's most Awesome Band Ever! But as they get in sync with the business, what they expected to be just a walk in the park, is a walk on glass and FIRE! Rival bands, stampeding paparazzi, and sleazy corrupt producers are just a few of the obstacles they have to encounter along their quest.

Positions Available:
Background Artists:
More help on the various places Joe and his friends will be going around and see what's up with the music industry. Examples include a huge music store that sell equipment and instruments too, Downtown urban city, Recording studio, several offices, a police station, and a multi million dollar concert venue!

Character Artists:
I can post some character designs here so you guys can get an idea of what they are supposed to look like and you can email me some refinements or any other designs.

Here are some examples for the playable characters in the game, well, five of them that is.



Joe Cooley, frontman and lead singer for Radical Complex!


Steve Benson, Joe's best friend and awesome guitar player. Did I mention he was an English major?


Mandy Patrick, Joe's girlfriend since high school. Not a playable character but can be a big help for the band!

Programmers:
It should have a character switching method like Maniac Mansion and Day Of The Tentacle has,or  but only in the point and click and the stealthy platformer PoP type sequences. Anybody who can make flexible verb coin scripting techniques, some good sequences including beat em up sequences (think Streets of Rage or Final Fight) to arcade stealthy type sequences (like Prince of Persia and Nosferatu meets Flashback and Splinter Cell. Sorry. No guns or ultra violence in this one. Maybe in future projects.)  that will be included in this game. Also some one who can make text appear while hovering of certain objects or characters.

Animators:
I could really use some help with the characters and other stuff that will need life in this game.

Voice Actors and Actresses:
I will be voicing the speaking and singing role for Joe so I need actors and actresses for the rest of the cast. More details will be posted later on shortly. I will post audition lines for ALL characters including additional playable characters and also, singing and rapping is TOTALLY a requirement!

Roles Available:

Ryan Simmons:

Voice Role status: OPEN

Age: 21
Race: White

The "jock" of the band. Although he's a charming lad amongst his friends, he is one guy you can't MESS with. Period. He keeps the groove with his powerful Blastin' Beast 85 bass guitar as it packs the punch of a rampaging rhino! He has a soft spot when it comes to personal issues and women. Mid to low voice when speaking. Rarely sings but screams at certain points.

"What a rush!"
"Got a problem punk???"
"I love holding the ladies."
"Let the Beast come out from within!"
"LET THE BASS BOOM!"

Lewis Rhodes:

Voice Role Status: OPEN

Age: 19
Race: Black

He's a great guy to hang out with. Can sing along the RnB titles that the band plays. Works at a different place, a burger joint that is. Can spend time with his friends while they relax at Fu-Yah! Burgers and Shakes. Born prodigy at the keyboards besides Joe, can bring out awesome leads and riffs through many of the songs that they play. Owns quite a similar keytar like Joe has, but it is specially customized for those breathtaking leads and rhythms. His instrument is a WonderBoard 3000, a keyboard for the soul in mind.

Audition Lines:

"This baby can spread the love to the ladies."
"Hold it! No one told me about this!"
"How do we fulfill this deal exactly?"
"Any ideas? No? Good! I'm goin' to sleep."
"WHAT THE HELL? SOMEBODY GOT MY LAVA LAMP!"

Bob Weller:

Voice Role Status: OPEN

Age: 19
Race: White

The sound engineer and sings along with Joe, Steve and Lewis. Although he may be the shy one, he is a kind soul. Lives his life mostly in photography and electronics, also why he tunes up the band and makes sure the sound is as clear as day but loud as the whole stadium can hear. Can feel down and out sometimes but lingers on his buddies for support. His instruments are the drums and drum machine and  a Vocolizer 500, an amazingly sounding vocoder in which he uses to create that electronic feeling in vocals. Can sing in his own vocals too. a little high voiced, but mature.

Audition Lines:

"You're not the delivery guy."
"Have you figured it out? It's just a simple matter of logic..."
"Anybody needs some tuning up?"
"I need a hug!"
"(sigh) So it has happened... I have finally become my step brother."


Joshua Jackson

Voice Role Status: OPEN

Age:31
Race: Black

An annoying scumbag and con man. Claims to be the most awesomest musician in the world and even brags about how he can play anything. It appears he's involved in the music contest somehow. Anyways, find a way to shut him up by proving him wrong.

Audition Lines:

"Hey you! See if you can make some more money!"
"AM I THE GREATEST??? HAH! I AM THE MASTER OF MUSIC!!!"
"I can play by ear!"
"Don't touch that damn you!"
"What the hell? Are you questioning my intelligence???"


Harvey Howard:

Voice Role Status: OPEN

Age: 24
Race: White

The leader of the main rival band of Radical Complex. He calls his own band Maximum Conquerors. Joe's ultimate rival in the game and he always believes he's the greatest than anybody.  He will stop at nothing to win the grand prize of the contest!   

Audition Lines:

"Has the label recieved the demos?"
"Hmm...Radical Complex eh? Let's see how 'complex' these guys REALLY are."
"What's with this dude???"
"We are going to WIN this measly contest whether you like it or not! And I'm not gonna let some freeloading, bippity boppity bloopy bleep, chiptune-headed, new wave euro-trasher punks get in my way!!!"

Or Zoarets

Age: 21
Race: Indian/Jewish

Another frontman of his eponymous metal band that is also taking on the competition. He usually acts like a huge bully towards his fellow competitors, especially Joe's band. He is stubborn and bossy towards his bandmates and his fans. A true example of BAD reputation.

"Hey you! Give me a drink!"
"I dare you to say that in my face!"
"BOW DOWN TO ME!!!"
"Mercy is for the WEAK!!!"
"Come out from there, scardy cat!"

Zack Valdez
Age: 22
Race: White/Hispanic

A loud guy and pitchman for the Dr. D's music store, he is a true example of a freeloader and skater. He sometimes shouts "Oy! Oy! Oy!" constantly as his trademark quote.

"Hey Everyone! Let's check out some new gear made for your convenience!"
"Look at this! Nothing is more important than making music guaranteed!"
"Nope! Haven't seen anything strange since the accident."
"Hey get yourself a cup of "Joe", Joe!"
"Ha ha! You just got trolled!!"


More characters coming soon!

Email me for more information.

Musicians: If there are any talented musicians besides myself that play Pop, Rock, Synthpop, Eurodance, RnB, old school hip hop, or just wanna put your original songs in here ( I actually happened to write some tunes myself specifically for this game.), then go for it! You take the credit for your songs only.


About Me:
I am the head designer, composer, and concept artist. I can only program basic stuff like room interactions, animations, speech and I am still getting the hang of it. I have some concept on art and story but I will be happy if there is anybody who can help me flesh out the story and its characters.



The game runs at 800x600 using a customized verb coin like gameplay. so I'm looking for someone who works better with hi-res, 32 bit sprites. There are approximately five PCs and ten NPC characters that need spot and idle animations, along with five characters that require a full range of walking animations. Only people who have experience with these kinds of graphics need apply.

Deadline:
I'm looking to have the game finished sometime around 2014-2017, maybe earlier if we are lucky!

Thanks!
