There will be spoilers if you decide to help us with our projects. If you'd rather wait until our final, final product, that's cool too :3.

-----
Please refer to the FAQ for more information! Note that it'll be updated every now and then!

Not sure how to contribute? Check out the roles list to see how can use your skills to help us out. Everyone is technically under 'concept artist' but I think it'll be better to have at least 1 assigned role within the team.

:new:
Finally please read our group/project philosophy! I'm really really serious about this project and I want this baby to grow!

Thank ya! :star:

Hungry Whispers - Music + Audio

Group Info

Fledgling game and multimedia production group, focusing on the audio-visual with a dash of interactivity!

Should I be a Member or Watcher?
Members: Members should contribute ideas, concept art, music, writing, anything! The more you contribute, the better for the overall project :)
Watchers: Too busy with life? Just want to see the final product? Or the occasional beta test? Watching will be for you ;D

----

In order to keep our products the highest quality possible, the group is essentially mainly for the core team members. If I find members who constantly contribute to make our project grow then if things go well, welcome to the official team! :p. Appropriate credit will be given too ^ ^.
----
While working on my "Hungry Whispers" game project, I wanted to give back to the dA community and focus on developing it past the beta teaser demo to a full version due to the overwhelming positive responses. By creating this group, I aim to expose this project for further testing, feedback and more members.

I hope to not only focus on game development but to also incorporate a range of creative mediums including the use of music/sound, interactivity as well as the visual. All artistic/creative contributions are welcome to help the current project grow!

General:
Right, by now everyone should know that we have Team meets every Tuesday and that I'm encouraging members to be on time or at least let me know if they're unable to attend any meetings.  If it turns out that not many people will attend a certain meeting, we can always reschedule or focus on something else depending on who turns up.

We aim to cover concepts/discussions in the first hour of the meeting to blast out what needs to be discussed and for the next hour or so it could be ironing production management or anything else that takes less priority.

Google +:
We've been experimenting with using Google+ as a meeting tool and I have to say it's very impressive and the quality is much better than Skype.  For example, everyone in Google Hangout can screen share; highly to use in aid of explaining story concepts and stuff to everyone else and unlike Skype, I don't have to pay premium membership to use that feature in a group call XD.  However not everyone can use Google + since your computer's OS need to be above a certain version XD.

Regarding the Wednesday meetings:
It's been several months since the meetings on Wednesdays have been in effect and so far it's not been as successful as intended.  The plan now is to keep Wednesdays as bi-weekly (or similar) script-surgery meetings and production meetings if need be.  The main meetings will still take place on Tuesdays and there's a proposal for having monthly catch up meetings on this date.  The original aim of having the Wednesday meetings was it being a mini catch up meeting for those who miss or couldn't catch the Tuesday meetings.  At the moment it's counter productive and it involves a lot of repeated explanations.

For those who usually attend the Wednesday meetings, we suggest perhaps catching up on the forums in that way.  I know it's difficult at the moment because we're still trying to iron out all the kinks and perfect a streamlined development progress so please bare with us!

----

Really sorry for not updating this group as much now since I've started a new job! And a lot of stuff's been happening that requires my attention >.<.  Either way, be sure to keep up to date with the forums and do let us know if you can't attend a meeting and /or going to be late.  Things are getting serious now and a little push is what's needed! :)

-Wasabi
I hope everyone's been keeping well, members and watchers alike.

I apologise for the hiccup last week; stuff's been happening but the main update I'd like to mention is that I've finished writing the overall plot for HW so it's ready to be ripped to pieces and improved.

Oh and...there's a meeting like...now lol.  

Everyone's free to join in for discussion on improving Project Whispers here [link]

See you at the meeting!

What do you mean when you say "Puzzle"? do you mean a combined use of items to figure out a situation? or is it more like professor layton? either way i would like to contribute some ideas (not saying their GOOD ideas but...)

Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I've been offline for a bit due to juggling life ^ ^;;

Yep! Combining/using items to figure out a situation, much like Hotel Dusk, Broken Sword, Phoenix Wright and the Monkey Island games :).

Brilliant! Feel free to join in our group discussions/meetings. We meet every Tuesday and/or Wednesdays at 8pm UK time. Where are you globally based might I ask? Thanks for the interest :)

Hey just a small suggestion I hear you want everyone to gather and bounce ideas off one another so why not create a chatroom here on DA? you can put a link in the group and post a schedule for meetings and what not that way we can all conveniently be in one place together!@ v @

Sounds great! Unfortunately I'm not sure how to work dA chat @_@! Do you know how to? How would you feel if you'd look after dA chat for me? XDD

I've also started up a google group thing so I'll make a blog about it in a moment. We originally started off with a blog spot account which was amazing to use for a small team however it has a limit of 10 people to write blog posts so I've been trying to find alternatives. I'll have both the google group and dA chat running at the same time to make this project as accessible as possible for everyone, so thank you again! :)
