Aevum RPG: Recruiting!

[PleaseBanMe]

I am now looking for a paid/volunteer team for my upcoming RPG (Aevum).

To introduce it, it is a classic-style RPG with other elements such as crafting; equipment levelling; free-turn battling, and other interesting features.

Cerid Midon is a man who lost his family to the corrupt powers of the planet Aberron, and now has succumbed to an incurable virus. He has a year to live, and desires only to look for his lost children and wife.

Along the path, the player will meet a cast of interesting characters with deep backstories and predicaments of their very own!

I would like to "hire" a small group of people to work alongside me in order to develop this game! It will be more of a chilled-out, take-your-time sort of development where we all design and create our pieces of the puzzle whenever possible, from wherever in the world you may be.

What I need:

Character Artists. OPEN

1 or 2 anime style artists who are open to drawing multi-expression, non-animated characters that either you design or that I have already designed. Head-only is needed.

Sprite Artists. OPEN

Possibly only one person who can draw their own world tilesets or character sprites. The style does not matter hugely.

Writers. CLOSED

1 to 3 people who can outline the general storyline of the game, developing on what I have already conceived - or who would write specific dialogue.

Game Designers. OPEN

Anyone willing to help me come up with important aspects of the game and what needs to be added. Note: if you want to get a small amount of revenue by dabbling occasional contributions to the game, this would be a good spot for you.

Website Developers. OPEN

It would be great to be able to host a website on which to market and sell Aevum RPG in the future. If you don't know how to code, you could even help me by managing a Wix or Wordpress website! I really only need one person, if any.

Other than that, I have everything covered! It would be incredibly, extremely helpful to have just one person helping me out in a single aspect of my game, which I have been developing for several months already. If not, perhaps pass on the message to someone you know that might be interested!

Financial Stuff:

I am, as mentioned, willing to share out the income generated by the game and perhaps website adverts. Despite initial funding on Kickstarter maybe only funding legal stuff, some revenue past that is potentially yours! Depending on how much you contribute, a percentage is negotiable!

 

Also, this is good experience for those looking for solid jobs later on. Use this as a reference!

 

You can contact me below or privately at neonxperience@hotmail.com! I am not just looking for the best and most experienced! Many skill levels in each aspect will be considered!

 

 

P.S, Beta testers are also welcomed!

 

Thanks!

I can write and design. I have samples if you need them.

I can do the character art, if youd like me on your team :3

Very nice work, but I notice you do a lot more chibi than anything. If you're prepared to to (shoulders up) work for more "realism" styles of anime, or even chibi versions of my characters for instruction screens, then I'm happy to welcome you aboard.

I'd potentially be interested in doing some writing. Could you give more details about the universe of the game (tone, scope, characters, the vague story arc - if you have one)? For example, you mentioned the corrupt planet Aberron; would I be correct to deduce that this a Sci-fi game?

Anyhow, the idea of playing as a dying man trying to protect his family from a hostile world sounds like it could be fun.

The story is still very much under development with my current designers, but let's see.

 


It's not so much sci-fi as a greek/future fantasy world. The game in general has a sombre and serious tone at the most crucial points, but as with any form of media, humour and light interaction for the sake of saving the mood.

Characters have very little substance to them right now, but it consists of Cerid Midon (39 years old during the majority of the game), his wife, son and daughter (38, 16 and 14 respectively).

There are additional characters with separate personal story arcs to break up parts of the story, although they need to be looked into and tied loosely to the main story.

The main antagonist is The Obsidian Knight, leader of the (self-declared) Aberronian Government, who seek "world unity and peace". They capture Cerid and his family, separated. The Obsidian Knight kills Cerid's wife, (who has great power in her bloodline, and she fragments her power into 8 pieces to keep out of the antagonist's reach), and sets Cerid free (far away from the Government's hidden camp) for an unknown reason, telling him that his children are still alive before leaving him.

The rest of the game consists of Cerid looking for his remaining family.
