Hello and welcome to the Recruitment Thread for The Dragon Scrolls:- Valendroth, This was a personal project that is completely made from scratch although a few cliche's do appear here and there or atleast no doubt will appear (Iv'e only made the first 15 minutes of the game so far), Now onto what I need:-

Why:- Need enough of a score to fit the entire game, With a projected game length of 200 hours this is going to require a huge amount of work and effort, Also probably one of the hardest jobs as all music must be self composed and can not be a remix, re-tuned or any other type of work based on a previously made song/instrumental.

 

Spriter's:- upto x4

- Open

- Open

Why:- To help design some of the 800+ characters in the game (Yes this game has a lot of characters, Whether they are NPC's or Main Story character I want each to have there own different outfit and personality).

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but I think the reason(possibly) that you haven't had any applicants are because:

- You haven't specified an engine...I am assuming either rmvx or rmxp (although you say from scratch so that could be misunderstood)

- There isn't THAT much info about the project: perhaps share a little bit of the story direction, features you want to have, design, etc.

- It seems to be a very ambitious project. I am not saying that you can't do it, but I think there is a certain stigma with massive scale projects that they seem to fail often. Or even, maybe people aren't willing to dedicate that kind of time to this game (people sometimes get ADD and move from project to project)

 

I am not sure if those are the exact reasons ( I can't speak for others) but I think you may attract more attention if you make this topic a little more "professional" and put a bit more information.

 

I wouldn't mind helping out, however I do not have the time or ability to promise dedication to this project. I am working on a lot of projects as well as I am very ADD sometimes. Also, I am not sure I would necessarily want to be part of a commercial project.

 

However, I will wish you luck and hopefully you can pull off managing a team this large.

I did specify an engine lol its the thread prefix (RMVX) :)

 

And yeah I agree it is a very large scale project and yes it is ambitious but I want the people that buy the game to get value for their money, I hate these large companies that get away with charging £30 - £50 for a game that only takes 3 hours to finish completely, Admittadly there are a few that take a bit longer (Final Fantasy 13 took me 176 hours to finish 100%).

 

Also im useless at making application pages look professional so maybe you could help with that :) Also I need a decent company Logo :)

 

The targeted sales are just a speculation that we will sell 12k games in 6 months, I believe that was a reasonable amount to sell based on its price and size of the game :) for all I know it could sell millions then again it could sell 100, But this is my first commercial project and I have a lot of faith in it :) Plus I have setup a francise account so can also sell game memorabelia and design it aswel from iPad cases to T-Shirts, Mugs and business cards :) that will also count as being part of the profit :)
