Every game is a page of the chronicle, and every chronicle needs more than one hand.
Chronicles Games is a small independent studio making single-player games with a taste for writing and a look of their own. We are building VESPÉRANCE, and we are looking for people who care about stories, characters and worlds as much as we do.
Every character has a voice, every fall has its line. Whatever your craft, it serves the tale.
We have a strong base, but nothing is set in stone. Ideas are welcome, and they change the game.
Everyone who helps build the game is credited for what they bring, in the game and around it.
Open a role to read more about it and apply. Experience matters less than care and curiosity.
Lead the writing of VESPÉRANCE: the world, its characters, the scenes by Oswin's fire, the guardians, the masters and the pages of the Chronicle. We already have a base, and you would be free to reshape as much of the story as you wish.
Apply →Draw the places of the night-time fairy tale: the seven lands, the camp of the Entre-monde and the veiled city of Karn, with our art director.
Apply →Bring the road to life: the Misty Lands, the twisted woods, the drowned marshes, Ashka's fortress and frozen pass, the burning rift and the veiled city of Karn. Stylised, melancholic, and readable from above.
Apply →Shape the paths of every vision: the clearings and their encounters, the roads between them, the guardians' arenas and the camp of the Entre-monde. Variety for a roguelite, clarity from a top-down camera.
Apply →Model AYLIS, the guardians, the masters and the creatures of the seven lands from our art director's concepts: stylised, expressive, and readable at a glance.
Apply →Draw the studio's logo and visual identity. A first idea to start from: an illuminated letter, night blue, parchment and gold.
