Its time for our second round of casting! We’re in the final stages of production. Quests are being tested, bugs are being squashed, and scripts are being finalized. And we have over 40 characters that need voices! So without further ado, here is our Eastshade open audition casting call. Please be sure to read the briefing closely!
As we approach the final stages of production, we’re finding ourselves in need of additional testing. There will come a time when broader testing is required, but at this stage in production, something that we’ve found invalueble is the ability to watch a fresh player play our game in real time. This is different than letting players play by themselves and then offer feedback, because we’re able to more easily identify bugs when we’re watching, and perhaps more importantly, easily identify the lowest hanging fruit in terms of avenues for improvement.
We’ve run out of local fresh eyes, so we’re looking for remote ones! Streamers are perfectly equipped with the gear and skills required to stream their session and talk through what they’re doing as they play. How this will work:
We can offer 15 USD/hour, and will pay you via paypal. It would likely be 2-8 hours total, over multiple sessions. We’ll pay you for time you spend in the sessions plus an additional hour to cover any setup time. I have no idea how many will apply, and we’ll be taking people in rounds one at a time, so we have time to make improvements between sessions. So its likely we won’t be able to accept everyone. We require the following:
Basically we’re after a fairly regular single-player stream like you’d see on twitch, but in a private setting. If you’re interested, please apply here.
I am excited to announce that Eastshade will be showing in the PAX West Indie MEGABOOTH here in our home town of Seattle! We’ll have a station in the MINIBOOTH September 2-3. Check out the full MEGABOOTH line up here. Hope to see you there!
UPDATE – Thanks everyone! The position has been filled!
Hello, everyone! We’re looking to increase our bandwidth for implementing quests. We’re looking for someone who’s excited about Eastshade and loves authoring/implementing quests! Its a bonus if you have writing chops, but more importantly we need someone who can actually implement quests in Unity within our framework. If you’re interested, find out more here (link removed, position has been filled!)

Huzzah! We have most exciting news! Jaclyn and I will be at GDC this year showing a playable build of Eastshade! Unity very graciously invited us to show in their 3d Game Art Challenge, along with 11 other spectacular 3d games.
We will be located in Unity’s 3d Game Art Challenge Lounge, which is a large space on the ground floor of Moscone West near to their main registration area (which has moved this year). The lounge is in the ‘common area’ and means its open to all passes. Ie you don’t need an All-Access pass to get to it. We’ll be there the entire week of GDC, from March 19th-23rd. If you’re attending GDC, don’t hesitate to come by and have a play and/or chat with us! If you’re press and would like to schedule an interview or meet-up, please contact charlie@playertwopr.com. We hope to see you there!
