[PAID] The Chao Tales Recruitment

[LaDestitute 3]

Hello, LaDestitute here! I am recruiting for my RMXP Sonic/Chao fangame The Chao Tales! Interested? Read below.

 

I am looking for: Spriters, scripters (RGSS, a subform of Ruby), writers and storyline/dialog analysts, composers, mappers, and any other task that I could use help with. What I'm really needing at the time being is a coder or two, and some spriters. I'm perfectly willing to provide payment for quality services. The minimum amount of cash (via paypal) I'm willing to pay is $250, and I usually provide higher payment if I like your work.

 

Project Bio

This project is a game I'm working on called The Chao Tales, and it's engine is RMXP. There's really no inspiration to the name but it just stuck oddly. The RPG is based off of the Sonic and Chao universe and takes style cues from games like Earthbound, Paper Mario, and Mario & Luigi while keeping it's style akin to Sonic. Some of it's features include a skill tree in place of Chao evolution, skins (accessories that change the base color of the wearer, colors such as monotone [red, blue, green], shiny [duh...], and jewel [gold, bronze, onyx, etc...] and interactive Chao Karate (tournament type battles) and Chao Racing (on foot racing with other Chao) mini-games. I really want to push the envelope on this project, so I'm trying more than just my best efforts.

What I am looking for

Graphics: I am looking for a spriter/pixel artist with above-average skills. I need sprites for pedestrians, misc objects, and Chao specifically. This is also for graphics and special text, not just for sprites. Update: While I have a few people assigned working on character sprites, I still need a spriter or two on the team for tileset/object sprites.

RGSS Scripting: Someone who is capable of creating fine scripts, and has the necessary amount of experience with RGSS to understand it's system and concepts. Some of the systems I need are: A device to toggle soundtracks (my game has two different ones), a Pokemon style tree growing system, a titles (Like Tales of Symphonia) and achievements system, and a system where two variables (Luck, and Intelligence) influence battles. Luck would influence enemy gold drop. chance of misses and critical hits and item rarity while intelligence would only influence enemy exp drop and strength of special attacks and the strength of attacking/healing items. Update: Updated plans for game. I will also need a custom class system made along with FFTA-style random allies.

Storyline & Dialog: The Chao Tales is split into four chapters, each with their own major sub-plot. It might help if your first language is English, and you've have taken those classes in middle/high school. Other than analyzing the finished storyline, your only job to write dialog and suggest/work with literary ideas.

Composer: I am looking for a composer full-time for the project or who can quickly compose some good sounding themes. I need some themes for the game, such as battles themes and a title theme; and the style I'm going for is akin to Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, and Earthbound. I also need non-crappy remixes for the game, mainly for the remix soundtrack. It might help if you aren't totally clueless about music theory, and have above-decent music composing software on hand. Edit: I have found a composer for the time being but, additional composers are welcome.

Mappers: I could also use some mappers for the project, so I suggest your skilled at this sort of thing and know your way around mapping basics and such. Please use the Chao sprites (ChaoTropolis is a good place, they got tons of it) and the Breeze Revolution style for your maps.

I am an artist that have been active on dA now and then for 2 years. Before that I did some drawings for myself.

 

Example for a made up game I have made art for:

 

The game is about avoiding the birds eggs. You score if you shoot the birds down. If they drop an egg at you, you get one death number (there are a total of 3). There's a sliding background going from left to right and you need to hurry up to not get behind and also jump over holes, crawl underneath roofs and such.

 

I also have different versions of the graphic. Btw, the controls can be highlighted in yellow when you press on one of them.

 

Early version of how the game would look like: http://www.geting.se/viewimage/image/312705-artpack1sample.png

 

Art that is done:

Sky (day and nighttime)

Death number

Bird

Movement controls

Eggs
