What is this game?
A low poly ps1 style story driven zombie game heavily based off the original 1978 Dawn of the Dead, and the video game "Dead Rising"s concept of using anything as a weapon and the 80's time period and music(golden age of horror movies).



A small homage to George A Romero





Story

A small scale outbreak is occurring in a small countryside town. Still discovering the nature of the rising dead,

3 people take shelter in a radio station on the outskirts of town abandoned by the original owner. They shut off power to the elevator and use the fire escape to get to and from the supplies they need, as well as to people who need their help who they find on through radio contact. Discover the plague from their perspective and get to the bottom of it before the center of disease tries to wipe them out in 3 days .

PM me for voice auditions, or email me at johnnypre504@gmail.com


AUDITIONS
The Voices
___________
Below is a list of all the characters I will need for voice acting along with a few test lines.
Keep in mind this is inspired by 80's horror, so if you can do a stern voice of how you think it would be
depicted in a movie from that time period it would mean alot. (slightly cheesy!)
The script is still forming, but as this is a one man team project lines will be given in large chunks at a time instead of a
full script.



MALE:

Ryan Douglas:
The peace keeper of the team. Optimistic and young at heart. Will go out of his way to help others. Loyal to the team.
For voice style, think Peter from 1978s Dawn of the Dead

test lines:
"We will make it...Someones got to" context: giving hope to one of the other main characters after drama.


"When I come back theres going to be a thousand zombies behind me..You make sure it's borded up tight"

--

Thomas Roberts:
The muscle, and the handyman. Can fix nearly anything. A rugged "mans man" Not just dumb muscle. Always thinking ahead.
Can be hot headed at times but within reason. For voice style, think Kenny from the Walking dead Telltale game..

Test Lines:

"Theres not too many of em around this morning. We need those tools..Food..and supplies..."

"With all the new faces coming back with you, it wouldnt be a bad idea to block this place off."

"We don't know how long this will last. Enough of em' in the courtyard and were stuck!"

--
Psychopath boss #1
Diner cook:
A blue ribbon cook off enthusiast who snapped when he couldnt win the award he wins every year
[creative freedom is yours, keep in mind the 80s theme however]

"We have plenty of food left for your growling stomachs!"

"Is that him?! The judge! He's finally arrived haha"

--

Female


Sandra Pierson
A true worry wart, easily freaks out but strong willed. Usually the opposer to anything that sounds too dangerous when the
team is making plans. Grows to be be strong minded as the outbreak unfolds

"Its too dangerous on foot! We nearly didnt make it here."

"We have to act fast before those things find out were in there, and then we cant get out!"

"Oh my god!, Ryan!"

Have you used this as part of a resume to apply for jobs within the video game industry (assuming you don't already work there)? If not it's obvious you've got potential. Especially all that coding you must have done by yourself.
