Recruitment for an Untitled game

[Guest Hellfire Dragon]

Okay I finally decided to make a proper game after playing around wih RPG-Maker xp for about 20 days. I know alot about it now. I'm no good at mapping or creating sprites (I wanted my first game to have original sprites.) I don't really have a story yet but I'm working on it, it would be helpful to get someone to help with it. So here's the current positions that are available,

 

JOBS:

Map Maker:

Battler creator:

Spriter:

Co-story writer:

Music:

Animater:

Graphics:(title screen,game over screen,icons etc.)

 

Here's jobs that may have to be used but might not:

 

Scripter:

 

 

 

I'd prefere if the person who wants to be the co-story writer had msn messenger and lived in Ireland or England, so that we would be in the same time zone.

 

Maps and sprites will be decided on later so the people who want these positions won't have to do anything earlier on in the production of the game. However, I may give them a discription of a character and I can see some variations of what the character could look like.

 

If you want to be a spriter or map maker please post an example of your work.

 

 

(prologue)

The main character (name currently unknown) is an 18 year old who got sick of his life. For the past 2 years he has been having nothing but bad luck. He never bothered going to college because he thinks it's only for the smart people who think that they're great. His parents died in a car crash 6 months ago and he is now on his own. He can't seem to hold on to a good job, he can't pay the bills anymore and now he has resorted to life of crime...

 

 

It's not much but I'm working on it. After that the main character ends up in a ghetto, in New York, and meets a drug dealer who doesn't think much of him. He feels that he has to prove himself to this guy (the drug dealer) and that's where the story begins.

You haven't made a game before?

 

There are a couple of things you need to consider before going on with this.

 

To have all original graphics is a very big task, and infact some projects are stopped altogether because its just too hard and takes too long to make the graphics. So far I have only seen two projects with all original graphics made in RMXP, and both had their own forums/sites and large teams. If you cannot create sprites and want a game with all original graphics, its a big thing to ask, even for a team. So I would recommend using RTP or custom graphics, which you can find in our gallery. That doesnt mean you have to stop your game just because you are unable to get all original graphics. You can just substitute RTP graphics until you have the sprites you want for the game. So this should not hold you back in any way.

 

Your storyline seems very modern. You will notice that the tilesets in RTP are sort of medievil, and you cannot really create a game that is set in new york with the RTP you have. Of course there are resources out there you can use for this, its just so much more difficult. Have you played many demo RMXP games? You will probably notice many of them are set in medievil or fantasy timeframes. Have you looked in the Database? See how there are swords and shields and potions etc. That shows what the RTP is suited for. Im not saying you cant make a modern game like you want to, again, its just a bit harder to do. especially for your first game.

 

Your storyline is a bit short, and its hard to get a team with little to show, unless you have friends from other forums, or other people who know how to use RMXP. I'll give the links to some good sample games on the forum:

Take into consideration the storyline and graphics. If you decide to go ahead, then thats great, and we'll do our best to help you with your project. If you need scripts or graphics, you can request them here. Hope this helped you a bit.

Thanks for the reply. I have of course looked through the database, and I never said that this was my first game I just it was my first real game. Maybe I phrased it a bit wrong, I meant that I already made some short games which were fantasy based, about 3 of them. I didn't save any of them. Each one only took me about 2 days. I did find about 4 modern city tilesets already, I've been searching all week. I am just looking for sprites that look well modern as in gangsters. Which I know is hard to find, I don't even know if there have ever been gangster sprites made. I'm trying to be original, of course the 'lost everything' storyline has been done before I think I can make something out of it. I really do want someone to help with the storyline and a mapper, I am no good at mapping at all. There the two I need most, story writer and mapper. I'm looking at the story from a few different angles but I can't really figure out what's going to happen next.

So again thank for the reply.

I didnt assume you hadnt looked through the database, I worded that wrong. Sorry, I did underestimate you there. You do even have started your own RMXP forum. Okay, this is a bit offtopic but I uploaded some things you may find usefull to your game. These are closest things I could find to Gangsters: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/index....q=sc&cat=12

And I uploaded a modern RTP Characterset pack, which contains ALL of those images uploaded to the Gallery. The pack just contains females, but not ganster females: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/index....amp;showfile=20

Those are pretty cool. I have decided to go ahead with the project but I might wait until the Christmas holidays. I seem to be very busy lately with school. I have alot of Christmas exams going on next week (that will be fun) and I can't really find any spare time. I'll just be making small projects for a while now.

[Marked 197]

I thought it was Christmas holidays. I finished my exams about a week ago, so I got a lot of spare time, about 2 months actually.

 

If you need anything your project, feel free to post and we'll help you the best we can.

I see Marked has already got anything done here :P

 

But if you want my advice, forget this project. You shouldn't start a real project until you use RMXP (Or VX) at least 5 months at least. And even after 5 months it will probably be a failure..

But that's just the way it goes you will know when your project will work in time, don't worry :)

 

Other than that.. Don't give up, that's the most important thing ! And try to make your game of value by expressing one of the most important things that matter to you, so that it doesn't go down unless you go down with it B)
