Recruitment Thread for Shalaren The Shattered Metropolis

[Shalaren Metropolis 0]

Thats the company, though since Im looking for help , if you have a company and want to Invest on the game.

your company will get a splash screen too.

The story is about a Metropolis obviously. shalaren was a young man at the time, he spends countless years in the human army fighting demons, throughout his years he learned magic from magicians all over the world. It was a war that never ended between the humans and the demons. Magicians gave up because they did not have a seal strong enough to hold the demons, and that’s when the Sagittars showed up, they were able to fight the demons but only for a while, the number of the demons is just getting bigger, they weren’t strong enough, none was, there were too many demons taking over. And that’s when one of the ancient magicians tells shalaren that there is a spell that can keep demons at bay but comes at a price, the price is death. That’s why no magician ever used it yet. Shalaren looking at the metropolis being destroyed and decides to offer his life to enable the spell, when he dies, the spell allows his power to spread over the city, and that’s when the city was named after his name. All the Shalarenians gained special Strength that will allow them to fight all the rest of the demons. But the spell's limit is that it only keeps larger demons away but smaller demons are able to penetrate the spell's shield, the only way to summon the larger demons is by using dark magic, but with Shalaren's death, dark magic became the forbidden magic, and anyone who uses that magic will pay with their life. The reason that the shalarenians pay with their life for crimes is because they are destroying what shalaren died to protect, thus killing them is an act of respect.

Shalaren Metropolis now exists to protect humans from the demons and keep the secrets of the underworld hidden from the rest of the world.

thats what I got for now! thanks to rgangsta :3, though I need more.

Hey you guys! I edited this page completely, cause the game changed alot ever since I opened the thread.

I took all the screenshots down because as I said, its not how the game looks right now. I would put new screenshots, but I feel like its still not the time, I will realease screenshots only when I'll complete the mapping and the quests. The thing is I still hadnt made any monsters, weapons, skills, etc because things are moving really slow when there is none to help.

 

and I want you to know, if you join the team, means you'll own the game too when we realese it. credits will be provided to everyone. and not just a credit file inside the game folder. it'll be provided in the game.

what do I need?

• 
  Scripiter - Im not a scripiter and have no Idea how it works, the only thing I do with scripits is move locations around. so I need a scripiter, not for making unique scripits but just to help with scripiting

-

• pixel artist - aw man this is going to help so much, there are just some sprites I still dont have.

-

• Mapper - I am a horrible Mapper! period. I have the tilesets I need but i cant map them the way I want, and I know there's some good mappers here.

-

• Writer - I need someone to write the background story of the Metropolis! in another way write the history of it. what happens in the history is only a history of the Island, but itsnot the plot in the game!
  

I did some brain storming, so here it is

 

 

everything that is red, is stuff that have to be mentioned in the story! in some way.

all the green stuff is stuff that the history needs to be built from, it doesnt have to be mentioned (it can if you want) but thos things are importent facts.

everything that is black, are just small facts, does not have to be mentioned at all, its just to let youy understand.

all the Blue things, do not need to be in the history at all! its what is going ot happend in the game! (the gameplay) I put it there just so you make connection from to history to the gameplay.

Credit will be shown on the title screen!

if you are a writer and want to help. reply here or pm me, or just start writing and send me the complete copy, it doesnt really matter.

Thanks!

 

I will provide screenshots later!. I just need people to join! X:.

 

Edit:

ok here is a screenshot, just so you'll see what kind of game ur joining.

 

Need mappers!.

im not a good mapper, I have only the city\castle part mapped, but I still need someone to map the mountain forest of the Sagittar Nation, I will give the tilesets to the mappers.

as you see I have only Shalaren Metropolis located on the map.

[FranklinX 37]

Why do you need a mapper? You maps look good. Please give more information about what you need form an artist and scripter.

[Chief 30]

what tiles are those being used on the exterior map? I'd really love to have em to use for inspiration. theyre really nice.

[Noob Saibot 38]

Like the Titel Screen, simple but nice.

[Kiriashi 117]

You're supposed to have a separate topic for projects and recruitment. :sweatdrop:

 

As for the scripts, you're better off learning RGSS than getting someone to write them for you.

thanks :P but I hear otherwise about these maps too ><. about the information

from an artis to pixel monsters, and stuff, and pixel things that I need for a map, all these kind of things

a scripiter, umm, I besically need them because Im not goos with scripits, and sometimes something goes wrong and x: yeah idk what to do

and having a scripiter will allways help to fix it :P +there are two scripits that i need to request anyhow X:

they are besic tilesets that i just changed the colours of the walls and floors, and added all the things I felt should be in the tileset. about the city map, some of the pixels there, are made by some company i forgot its name, gotta find out so I can give credit

 

Like the Titel Screen, simple but nice.

Thank you! I like it too :P

I know! D: this is why i wropt in the botton "woops wrong forum"

 

that'll be great to learn RGSS, but i know I'll never be good enough to know how to scripit these scripits.

[Enigma 10]

If you spend your time learning RGSS you probably won't have that much time to spend on your game :nono4: , so I recommend that if you need a system, event it :shifty: and if you can't event it which sometimes happens then there is probably a script for it :haha:

I can help you with your story, but I'd rather talk to you one on one with it so meet me in the RMXP chat :yes: , I'm usually there when I'm online.

:huh:

Also, if you find you can't event something, I am a Master Class Pro Eventer so I could probably help you :alright:

[Kiriashi 117]

I know! D: this is why i wropt in the botton "woops wrong forum"

 

that'll be great to learn RGSS, but i know I'll never be good enough to know how to scripit these scripits.

 

So you want me to move this one to the recruitment subforum?, and you can make a new one for the project forum?

 

I meant learning RGSS to the extent of being able to edit scripts here and there. It can be quite helpful in the long run.

Not everyone has such time on their hands.

@Kage Kazumi

exactly what I wanted to say S:

 

@ Kiriashi

and yes if you could

 

@Enigma

Sounds good! let me just figure out where is that chat exactly :P

about eventing, look at the scripits I am asking for up in the topic

I dont think you can event these.

[Kiriashi 117]

C: Thats okay.

 

Just get used to it as fast as you can so that I don't have to delete yer posts. xD

 

*Topic Moved*

[Shalaren Metropolis 0]

HAHA alright xD

[Chief 30]

can you post a link to that tileset? I'm not gonna use it for a game, so dont worry about me "stealing" anything. I want it to use for inspiration for my own pixel art.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

I would help you with sprites, but Enigma gave me a heavy job..Sawwy! :)

[Shalaren Metropolis 0]

D: agghh.... I dont seem to find any help ><"

 

@Chief: Usually I would love to, but I really rather not share any of the game resources

with rendom people X:

[Chief 30]

... youre killin me here... I'm not gonna use em to make a game, I only use custom made graphics, my own, to make stuff, so theres not a problem there.

[Shalaren Metropolis 0]

it doesnt matter for what purpose you want my recources for, X:

I rather not share them, that's all 0:

[Chief 30]

are they custom made for you? did you make them? recouloring still doesnt give you the right to horde...

[Shalaren Metropolis 0]

you want these, then find them yourself, in these tilesets Im using I do have my own custom

pixel that I made, you can find your "inspiration" from any tileset you have on rmxp,

that's the base I used after all... then in some way, the recouloring is made for me,

the pixels I made are also made for me, the only thing that isnt are the stuff I added to the tileset from rmxp

program, and from armatha games (rmxp company).

so just so you know, I have all the rights not to share the tilesets im using.

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

This looks like it could be a pretty promising project...I would like to be a part of the team. I'm mainly good at mapping, but I can help with game testing as well...Let me know if you need some examples of my work.

Let's not get angry you two, okay? Shalaren, if you don't want to share things you made that's fine. But if you can give Chief the parts you didn't make/recolor to be nice.

[Shalaren Metropolis 0]

Amanda from Amaranth games let you have a tileset?! Lucky, or did you find it on her site?

so her Name is Amanda? lol I talked to her without knowing her name D:

yeah she released some of her Tilesets in her forums,

but not everyone could get it. anyway all you got to do is search on her site,

I dont seem to find it anyore D:

and the whole tileset is recoloured already.

I must say that the HUD looks so very sexy.

I think I can come up with a background story for the island. I can't write an intro or anything, I'll just share my thoughts and I guess you put them together. :sweatdrop:

 

.:EDIT:.

Here's what I got. I'm sorry that there isn't proper grammar and stuff, but I just wrote this in a hurry.

 

 

shalaren was a young man at the time (in his 20s maybe)

he spends countless years in the human army fighting demons

throughout his years he learned magic from magicians

magicians from another nation choose to help the people fight demons

magicians gave up because they did not have a seal strong enough to hold the demons (this is why humans must not use magic in the city. because they felt betrayed)

one magician tells shalaren that there is a technique that can keep demons at bay but comes at a price

the price is death. that's why no magician ever used it

he decides to offer his life to enable the spell

when he dies, the spell allows his power to spread over the city

but the spell's limit is that it only keeps larger demons away but smaller demons are able to penetrate the spell's shield

also, the reason that the shalarenians pay with their life for crimes is because they are destroying what shalaren died to protect, thuse killing them is an act of respect

 

 

[Shalaren Metropolis 0]

I must say that the HUD looks so very sexy.

thanks I worked hard on it :3

 

and the story, is actually the exact thing I was looking for.

the thing is its a short story, but yeah its realy is what Im looking for,

just need to make it longer and need to have more details about the sagittar nation.

and another fact I forgot to add Sagittars are like bowmans, they mastered the techniques of the creature named "sagittarius"

search on google and you'll understand what sagittarius is xD.

 

it'd be great if you help me more with the story :unsure:

if you'd like to I'll send you more facts, I didnt provide them here because

they are like spoilers for the people who will read them o:.

[rgangsta 43]

Sure. PM me about the facts. I'd love to help.

 

Also, this is...
