SUDS Production Callout: North Way

Lead Developer/Programmer: Eoin O'Sullivan
Music/Sound Developer: Jess Snelleman
Story Supervisor/Developer: Tom Hetherington-Welch

One morning in a small coastal town in Norway, the townsfolk awake to a rude realisation: they are all clones. With no knowledge of how this happened and with their individuality stripped from them, the people of North Way begin to fight and argue. Some will fight for peace, others for individuality, and others will search for answers in this sleepy town. A story of the search for a sense of self, and individuality.

Just because the story is about clones, that doesn't mean we want our designers to be the same! Please bring your unique perspective and individuality to your interview and the project, that is what we're looking for!

'North Way' is a development project which we are going to turn into a side scroller RPG video game in the style of Pixel Art. To achieve this, we need a team of eager designers! Below are the roles. There is potential to work across a number of these roles, especially in the visual design department.
