Application Deadline:
We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis and aim to fill the position by August 12th, 2024. Early applications are encouraged as we may close the position once we find a suitable candidate.

About Our Studio:
Fallen Snow Studios is a small independent team made up of fans of the visual novel genre. The continuation of our current project, Lucid9, has been made possible through the support of our successful Kickstarter campaign and wonderful community. 

While our budget reflects our indie status, we believe in the value of the experience we offer. This position is ideal for someone looking to gain hands-on experience in indie game development. If you're also a fan of visual novels (and of Lucid9!)

The first installment, "Lucid9: Inciting Incident", launched on itch.io and Steam in 2016 to positive reviews from over 900 players.

Story Synopsis:
Set in Isamu, Japan, Lucid9 follows Yama Ishimoto, a jaded high school student at Isamu Academy, as he investigates a series of gruesome murders resembling the unsolved Independent Murders from years ago. As Yama uncovers hidden truths and a sinister conspiracy, he navigates themes of friendship, betrayal, and the pursuit of truth in the face of darkness.

Available Position:
We are seeking an assistant director to assist with development. This is a paid position, funded by our recent Kickstarter campaign.

Newsletter Updates
We also have a newsletter that some of you subscribe to. Moving forward, we'll use the newsletter to summarize our Kickstarter updates and provide links to the full details.

Kickstarter Update #1: Post-Campaign Plans

2/25/2024

0 Comments

 
Hello everyone,

Thank you once again for your incredible support! We're thrilled to have reached our funding goal and are excited to move forward with the development of Lucid9.

Here's a brief overview of our post-campaign plans:

Reward Fulfillment
Backerkit surveys: We'll be sending out Backerkit surveys around March 9th to collect your shipping information and any other necessary details.
Reward fulfillment: Our artists will focus on fulfilling physical and digital rewards. This will also give our writers time to finish their scripts.
Digital rewards: Digital rewards will be sent out first. However, the artbook may take some time as we'd like to include designs from backers who backed the Fashion Designer Tier.
Behind-the-scenes access: Behind-the-scenes access will be granted once surveys are collected. Those who chose the Fashion Designer and Character Creator Tiers will be given an additional role in the server and will be in communication with the writers and artists during the story planning. 
Meet-and-greet and story spin-off rewards: These rewards will be offered once the game is complete.

Development
Writing: We're currently reviewing contracts. Once they are signed, our writers will continue their work on their routes.
Music: With the exception of one or two tracks, most of the soundtrack for Lucid9 is complete. 
Voice Acting: While we unfortunately couldn't reach the stretch goal for voice acting, I'd still like to find a way to include it into the game, whether that be starting another Kickstarter once the game is complete, or some other means. I’ll be meeting with our voice director to discuss our options. 
Pending responses: We haven't received a response from two members yet and will provide an update on their statuses soon.

We're committed to keeping you updated on our progress and will share more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, please feel free to join our Discord server to connect with other backers and discuss the game.

Thank you again for your support!

Sincerely,

WE MADE IT! LUCID9 IS FULLY FUNDED!

Honestly, I went into this campaign expecting to reach only half of our goal. I'd even prepared a plan for the possibility of an unsuccessful Kickstarter. From the bottom of my heart, I can't thank you all enough for your incredible support. We'll do everything we can to meet and exceed your expectations!

This weekend, the team and I will meet to discuss our next steps. There's a lot to prepare for with reward fulfillment and development, but we'll keep you updated every step of the way. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
