Overview
Hello aspiring artists! We at Ill Advised Gaming are hiring voice actors to play roles for an upcoming game to be released on steam, we have internally dubbed the game "Project Overworld".
This is an action-adventure game, set on a dystopian post apocalyptic Earth after an asteroid pierces the planet causing a chain reaction, resetting the world. You control a 3D character in third person and engage in adventure that will allow you to understand the world. The game will have a unique combat system, where all fighting combos are fully customizable. Players will be able to make the game as simple or complex as they desire. It will launch along with an app for mobile called "Pocket Overworld" that will connect to the main game and allow players to manage in-game resources in an engaging way. The game is being developed in Unreal engine 5 with cooperative online play in mind and cross-play. We want players to be able to fight and explore with their friends. The plan is to have these voice actors take on the roles of the main characters of the story to portray them in an adventurous setting within the game world.
