Symphosis [Recruitment]

[PacifisticKiller]

What is "Symphosis" and why should I care about it?
​

Symphosis is a complicated game set in the modern world. You play as a young adult named Max, a Musician who is trying to find his way in life. But Max isn't all so "normal" - whatever that means... After struggling with mental illness periodically throughout his life, a certain event occurred which left him hearing strange things- almost constantly. Max becomes so overwhelmed by this new problem in his life, he goes to a psychologist who then diagnoses him with Schizophrenia - a clinical disease that plagues over 1% of the entire population of Earth. But his case isn't quite like the others. He hears music along with voices in his head- not like the "oh this song is stuck in my head" type of thing- but hallucinations in which he is hearing music externally with the sensation of listening. Symphosis is about Max's journey to discover and cope with this new illness of his. It is up to the player to determine if this condition is a gift, or a terrible nuisance.


I shan't say anymore to reveal the other aspects of the story, but will fill you in if you make it onto the team.

How much progress has the game made in terms of development- so far?
​

So far the game is an almost completely written story- most of the main plot has been written, with some dialogue. What we are lacking are tilesets and scripting.

Here are some songs that I made for the game so far:

I would be interested in doing some sound design. I have done some as a spice to music I've composed. If you don't mind I'd like to discuss further either straight to my e-mail markus@markuslappalainen.info or skype composermarkuslappalainen. Here on the forum as PM works fine too. I check in at least once a day =)

Hello. Unfortunately we're booked on composers at the moment. We currently have 2 composers. As far as sound design goes, we also have somebody.

Thank you for your interest, however.

Pre-production is complete for the most part- but the production of the game has been somewhat delayed by real world events and issues. But nonetheless- we are still looking for new members to join the team!


We've also switched over to RPG Maker MV so we are in need of JS programmers. Kasumi, our main programmer is more experienced with Ruby, so someone experienced with JavaScript would be a major asset to the production of this game.


Thank you, and have a nice day!

It's been a year since this post was created, and the project is going stronger now than ever!


I've uploaded some of the art we have now to the post and will be updating this thread every once and a while with more progress updates!
