FRS Galaxy:- Need help on project!!

[frsgalaxy 0]

Hi there everybody :0) This is Daniel from FRS Galaxy, I need some help with a personal project that ive been working on and off with for 3 months, Its called The Dragon Scrolls:- Valendroth.

 

Storyline:-

I can only give you a rough story as this game is choice and consequence so there are way too many things to ex[plain that could happen or will happen depending on what you do in the game but basically the main character (you choose the name, age, sex and location)(There are 4 predetermined locations for you to start in) has lost his/her uncle and s/he has to go and find him (Please bare in mind the main "quest" is only 60 - 120 minutes long the rest is just side quests and guild quests amongst other things, I hope to extend the "Main Story" once I get a writer to help out). Amongst the other things to do in the game you can join some of the 8 guilds (Miner, Mages, Fighter, Engineer, Merchant, Estateer, Assassin & Bandit. You can also join the Royal Army Corp. (Only in the Collector's Edition, Provides an additional 87 Quests, Hopefully!)). More details can be provided to anyone who helps me out.

 

Screenshots:-

None at the moment.

 

Play Time:-

Expected playtime is 37 Hours (With all the sidequests, This is why I really need to extend the "main quest", I have writers block.)

 

Magic & Skills:-

Will there be Magic and Skills?? Ofcourse there will be. You can obtain them via some complex evented systems :) you will also gain some magic & skills by completing quests or triggering certain events in the game.

 

Shops:-

Will there be any shops?

Yes there will be shops but you will only be able to buy the bare essentials need to complete the early quests, The later quests will take HUGE amounts of strategy and combining skills (combination recipes are ONLY received from SPECIAL MISSIONS).

Are they proper shops that open and close at certain times?

Yes they will only be open at certain times & also they will only be open on certain days!! (Hint:- The Armor shop is ONLY open once every 3 days, If you miss them when there open you have to wait or alternatively go to a different town/city, Please bare in mind it takes a long time to travel from one town/city to another town/city). There are also travelling merchants (From the merchants guild no less) that are open as soon as you see them :)

 

ONLY OPEN THIS TO SPOIL THE SURPRISE :)

 

 

There is also a black market!!! For members of the Bandits and Assassins guilds!!!

 

 

 

Anyway onto what I need :)

 

Spriter x 2 (VX Sprites only)

Scripter x 1 (VX API only, RGSS2)

Artist x 2 (For various art based projects such as Title Screen, Game Over screen etc. Must also be able to do Character designs and poster art to put in with the Collector's Edition)

Writer x 1 or 2 (To collaborate with me and help expand the main story)

Musician x 2 (To make the epic tunes :o) Must be able to make scores that easily loop or that are quite long, On average 15 minutes long each, I hope to have roughly 30 tracks and they must be original as they will be released with the Collector's Edition)

Mapper x 3 (I cant do all the maps on my own, There is going to be an estimated 250 overworld maps & 600 internal maps & an additional 149 maps for the collector's edition)

Eventer x 2 or 3 (To collaborate with me on the COMPLEX events and to show me new ways and possibly shorter more efficient ways to make events and also to create COMPLEX events such as Mining and Spellcrafting, I already have those two but I need to make them more efficient and shorter)

 

I believe that is everything I need to help with this project :) Each person can have a maximum of 2 roles, The reason being that when the Full Game Version & Collector's Edition are sold (Yes this game is commercial) (This is also the reason special content is being provided for the Collector's edition), The people with one role will share a pot of 15% of the profits, The people with 2 roles will share a pot of 22.5% of the profits, Of the remaining 62.5% I take 7.5%, 5% goes to charity & 50% will be kept to one side for future projects. (The charity pot will be changed to alternate scheme if more than 5 people disagree to give to charity)

 

I repeat the the profit shares are as follows:-

people with 1 role:- Share of 15% pot. (Minimum of 2 people, Maximum of 10)

people with 2 roles:0 Share of 22.5% pot. (Minimum of 3 people, Maximum of 10)

my share:- 7.5%

charity share or alternate scheme:- 5%

future projects:- 50%

 

THE ALTERNATE SCHEME IS IN THIS SPOILER!!!

 

 

The Alternate Scheme:- Explained

The Alternate Scheme will only be open if more than 5 people (who work in the team!) disagree to a charitable donation to a worldwide charity organisation (must have a worldwide registered charity number) for example Water Aid or Oxfam. If people disagree to the charitable donation then the Alternate Scheme will be set up, The Alternate Scheme is a fund that can be used to start up small game companies (for people who only take things seriously, Its not a game being in the game industry), If a group of people wish to set up a Game Company (Wether your using RPG Maker or any other Maker or SDK or making your game from scratch) you will need to have the following things:-

1. Proof of age

2. Be over 18 years of age

3. Have a suitable workspace (A bedroom does not count, A garage will be considered depending on what its actually used for)

4. The house you live in must be owned (or mortgagaed) (This is a prerequsite for ANY business not just the alternate scheme or at least it is in the UK)

5. Must have a record of good or high quality games (A minimum of 2 that have been rated by users of RMXP Unlimited at least a 8.0/10, Must be rated by 20 people per game)

6. 10% of any profits made from a Alternate Scheme funded business must be given back to the Alternate Scheme to fund future Alternate Scheme's.

7. You MUST keep us updated on any projects that you are working on through the funding provided by the Alternate Scheme, This way we can check the progress of creation and also stop any games you release from being pirated.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:- You do need to have 50% of the Alternate Scheme funds donation for it to become final, A small donation can be provided for those who do not have any Capital.

Sorry for double posting but i need to say something extra and it wont allow me to edit the above post.

 

I just need to say that there is information in the spoilers in the OP but for some reason the spoilers won't open or at least their not opening on my computer. I tried to edit out the spoiler but when I click edit my internet connection just flops. Sorry!

 

If you can read them thats great :) If you cant read them let me know and I will PM them to anyone that wants the information.

This seems really interesting but it will get difficult. Making game where the player chooses their gender is sort of a tedious thing to do. I've tried before and it didn't work.

But I do support you and wish you the best of luck. And since you're using RMVX, I can help out if you need characters, graphics or scripts (I have a stash of 'em). :alright:

I have the Choice and Consequence part down to a fine art lol :) That much I can do (Events are my forte :op).

So far I have done:-

 

Character Gender

 

Age

 

Name

 

Race (Thats an additional part that I added :op)

 

Blood Type (This is for when you die or get severely injured a blood donor can be found to match yours, This will increase or decrease relationship points with that person depending on the amount of times a donor is needed :op)

 

Alliegence (This is to select your starting country, 1 of 4 can be selected Valen, Isandura, Wulfgratten or None, Depending on this choice will decide what shops will be open to you, what armors are purchasable, what spells are purchasable or learnable and what quests are available from each guild)

 

Class (There are 4 "Starting" Classes for each alleigence, And each of those classes has 3 Upgrade Classes and each of those classes have 2 upgrade classes and wach of those have 1 final class. This in total equates to 256 classes)

 

As you can see from the above information there is quite a bit to choose from to allow what you can do in the game :)

I felt this was nessessary for the humongous replayability value :)

 

Also as a sidenote:- Isandura and Wulfgratten are only available in the Collector's Edition version of the game which will be released one month after the release of the initial Full Version Game (To allow any Final Edits that are required to the game and to allow EXTENSIVE testing :op)

 

P.S yes I do need as many resources as I can get :) email them to me :) fleshrenderstudios@yahoo.co.uk

P.P.S By all means you can join the team (I'm the only member at the moment which is dissapointing) as long as you can do any of the jobs in the OP :op

I would join but my project is becoming just a tad overbearing. And I'm already in like 2 other project teams on off-site forums. But as I stated, I can help with any graphics (although I cannot sprite).

I'll be an eventer.

[frsgalaxy 0]

I'll be an eventer.

 

sweet :) i need an example of previous work :) also how old are you joman? i need you to be over 16 to pay you when the game is sold anyway lol so you have a year or so :)

[joman195 9]

There's an eventing system I posted but I can't find a link to it. And I will be 16 a year from May.

[frsgalaxy 0]

So your currently 14 lol :o)

 

How much do you know about VX events? Have you ever done anything with Events that is Complex?

[joman195 9]

How is this? I can make a more complex one if you want. This is a pet system and a running/jumping system.

[frsgalaxy 0]

Unfortunately there is nothing complex about this demo mate, you have 1 switch and a battle processing event and a shop processing event, nothing happens :s

 

Also the UP control appears to be disabled in this demo and the character automatically walks straight up at the top of the screen and causes the demo to crash, there isnt even an event to automatically control the movement either so its kind of freaky that he moves himself lol :)

 

By complex I mean something like this:- Click Me

[joman195 9]

I will make something better later because right now my brother messed up the computer in my house that has vx on it...
