Welcome! We have started a fan-made passion project animating "Despera". The current goal is animating an Opening sequence. We are currently looking for people with certain skills to help on the project and fill the following roles:

If you'd like to help but don't want to box yourself into one role, this project is out of passion and is very flexible so just do whatever you can! Multiple people can fill every role, and as much help as we can get will be appreciated.

If would like to help and especially if you are experienced in any of the aforementioned skills, please join the Discord Server linked below. If you have skills that weren't mentioned on the list but would still like to help, let us know and maybe you can still help.

If you know any artists that would maybe be interested in helping, sharing the project with them can also be a big help!

What is Despera?

Despera is a planned anime series by the main creators of Serial Experiments Lain and Texhnolyze. It is a spiritual successor to Serial Experiments Lain and has many common themes and ideas. The story follows "Ain," a girl who creates electronics that are more advanced than would normally be possible for the time, perhaps there is more to her than meets the eye. It is set during the Taisho Era of Japan in Asakusa.

For more information, here is Despera's Wikipedia page.

A Despera Game?

We have also begun a companion project to the Animation Project, being a small-scale Despera walking sim with some locomotion based puzzle solving. We are in very early stages of development and have not made an "official announcement" yet. If you are interested in helping these are some of the roles we are looking for:

If you would like to help with these (or any other roles that could help the game's development) please check out our Discord linked below.

If you have any other questions or just want to hang out, come join our Discord server!

Thank you for checking out our website. Let's keep believing.
