TRADE ARA needs YOU! (recruiting help)

[The Mighty Palm]

Hi, I'm Jesse, or as you know me here: The Mighty Palm.
And this is my project, ARA.

Spoiler: Screenshots

Ara started as some silly game idea thought up by a 12 year old, who asked his older brother (that's me) to make it.
Soon it evolved into a serious project, which I have already put quite a bit of money and time into.

On the surface it's a humorous RPG about a wannabe knight, desperate to prove himself worthy, with odd npcs and ridiculousness at every turn, but beneath all that might actually be a bit of seriousness (wink wink).

Every artistic asset in this game is original, drawn by me and sometimes helped by my artistic friend June who draws concept art like my Avatar/ Ara's menu portrait. I will NOT be using anything from a generator/Resourcepack/anything. So on that front, I'm covered.

What I need:
A. A Scripter that can help me personalize the game even more. I'm not asking for some crazy battle system or anything like that, just someone with the know-how to shift menus around, fix incompatibilities between scripts, tell me what is and isn't possible and so forth.
B. A Composer to write original tracks, jingles, possibly sound effects, and all that grand musical whatnot.
Know however, that I pay a professional composer for the more important tracks, and you will likely not be
asked to work on anything too complicated or any tracks exceeding 2 minutes. I can't afford to pay him for
everything though, so I'm trying to get some freelance help.

What I'm Offering
1. My spriting services Free of charge. As long as you're helping me, I'll draw whatever you need No Restrictions.
2. Spriting lessons. Let me help you become a better pixel-artist.
3*. Money. Let me be clear here. I'm not looking to hire someone. I can't afford to pay you full-time. But if I ask something
a bit too much of you for you to do for free/trade, know that I will be more than willing to pay for it.
4. Obligatory Free Copy if we go commercial.

What engine is this for? That's an important bit of info when recruiting a scripter. (Unless I completely missed where you said, but I looked a few times.)

 

[The Mighty Palm]

I knew I forgot something.

Vx ace is the engine.

I've PMed you

 

[HexMozart88]

Hmm. I can script, but it depends on how big the job. If it can't be scripted though, how do you feel about using events?

 

[The Mighty Palm]

@HexMozart88 I can event just fine, and use eventing for a lot of things.
Scripting is more-or-less being used for personalizing the game's look to make it feel
less like an RPG Maker Game.

Unfortunately I run into errors sometimes, and have no idea how to sort them out or if it's even feasible to make
something work.

 

[HexMozart88]

OK. If it's just menus that's pretty easy. Are you more active here or on Discord?
Oh, and I was never suggesting you didn't know how to event. It's just that's the easiest way to customize your game's graphics, in my opinion, because it's just a matter of showing pictures.

 

[The Mighty Palm]

@HexMozart88 I'm active on both but Discord is more convenient imo.

 

[Cadence]

I have emailed you

 

[The Mighty Palm]

Removed email address at the urging of a moderator.
Sorry if that's inconvenient.

 

[futrchamp]

I sent you a PM

I would love to work on a project like this for MV

Are you still looking for a composer?
