As an FYI, I still need voice actors!

Rebellious Takeover is still lacking voice actors for the majority of the characters, so any help would be absolutely amazing!

A render of Mae Everhart, from Rebellious Takeover.
Used some new VFX tricks for this. Loved how it turned out. Enjoy! :D

A picture of a VRoid Studio avatar with a gray cap, duo-tone blue and teal hoodie, gloves, and streetwear trousers. On the left, it says "Rae (Raelic) Complete!", and on the left there's a commissioner credit saying "JDR" in handwriting style with a pixel mask below it.

Just a fair warning though - I'm only accepting people who can confirm they are over the age of 18. This is due to the fact that the game includes adult content in it's expansion DLC and has adult references inside the base game.

This is also a volunteer effort. You will be credited.

A 3D render of Deren & Phenn from Rebellious Takeover. Deren is pointing at his face, while Phenn is giving a peace sign. Both have their mouths slightly open. The text "Voice Actors Needed!" is boldly displayed at the top, with a graffiti-style "Rebellious Takeover" logo at the bottom.

Hey, so I need some help!
I need some voice actors for small "blips" (literally less than a second of voice) for each character in Rebellious Takeover. Contact me if you're interested, and share this around if you can! Thank you! :)

JakeDRavioli Hi. I'm Jake - A UK-based indie game developer creating stories that stick and games that stick even more.

To extend my last post, I actually improved Deren's look a lot! He's no longer looking a little scuffed (kinda, still got some work to do).

Here's a showcase of what he looks like in a prototype version of Rebellious Takeover.
