Team name:
We are "Folklore Games"
Project name:
"Legend of the Peach Girl"
Brief description:
"Legend of the Peach Girl" is a game based on Japanese folklore in
which an elderly couple discovers a baby girl in the middle of a large
peach. These poor farmers and ex militiaman raised the baby as their
own flesh and blood, naming her Momoko. They taught her everything that
a young girl needed to know to survive in the world, cooking, cleaning,
reading and writing. Upon her fifteenth birthday, a band of fierce
ogres invaded the surrounding mountain villages, subjecting them to
pillaging. Momoko, knowing that these farmers were not her birth
parents, decided that in order to properly show her thanks to these
people who raised her so well; she would force the ogres to leave the
villages, making it safe for the elderly couple to continue their
trades. With the help of three mischievous animal spirits, the player
takes the role of Momoko as she travels through the mountains to find
the ogre king and restore the mountainside back to its ordinary,
peaceful self.
Target aim:
Downloadable game, and hopefully pitch towards publication.
Compensation:
IF the game is successfully pitched and IF there is a payout, then
all team members will receive a percentage based on what went
in/towards the game. I have contracts with this in writing if needed.
Technology:
We are using the UDK game engine. 3DS Max and Maya are the preferred
modeling programs, but any program that can export as an .obj are
welcome as well.
Talent needed:
Seeking 2 voice actors, one male and one female. Male voice to sound fun and playful (Will be a monkey, SARU) and female to be childlike, yet intuitive (will be main character, MOMOKO). If you want to try for both, be my guest! Just make sure to send two files. To apply, record the following dialogue and make sure there is at least a 5-7 second pause between each snip of dialogue and send the file(s) as .mp3 or .wav:
MOMOKO:
Please stop wrecking these people's
hard work! Why are you doing this?
SARU:
Dunno what you talkin' about! The smelly
Ogre broke everything, I'm just having a
little fun!
MOMOKO:
(Momoko frowns) If you don't stop destroying
things, I am going to make you stop!
SARU:
Well, I'm not going to let you ruin my
fun!
SARU:
(Head hanging) Alright, you win.
I promise that I won't be any trouble
to anyone anymore. (Looks up at
Momoko) Will you take care of my hammer
for me, since I don't need it anymore?
MOMOKO:
I would be grateful to take care of
your hammer for you. (Saru hands the
hammer to Momoko, who accepts it). But
little monkey, won't you come with me?
I could use your help finding these Ogres
you mentioned before.
SARU:
I dunno...
MOMOKO:
(Thinks for a second, then takes a dumpling,
then takes a dumpling out of her pocket)
How about if I give you this dumpling?
SARU:
(Laughs)
MOMOKO:
