Like the title descripts I'm working on a non-commercial Horror/Mystery Graphic Novel using RPG Maker VX Ace oriented for teens+.
MIRACULO ISLAND
If I had to make a brief synopsis:
"You play as Nicholas, a guy who had an accident two years ago and lost part of his memory. Because of this you have no friends, no clear objective in life and have gotten behind in what academic matters refers.
The school has deemed necessary (mandatory) for you to attend an eight days seminar in an island located somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
Here you will meet five other 'rehabilities' who will take part of many activities you will have to perform. But strange things begin to happen...
What you thought it would be eight boring days will become your worst nightmare.
Is the island haunted? Is someone else out there besides us? Is there a reason we're here? So many questions to be answered.
Depends on you and your mates to survive in this mysterious place."
I'm highly inspirired by Infinity Games so it will have some comedy/emotive/romance/scientific theme in it too. It'll have spicy humor/conversation but no eroge so rest assure. It'll contain some mini-games too (to make use of RPG Maker capabilities while we are at it).
It'll start slow and as the days go by the events will become more violent and horrific. So don't expect scare jumps the moment you step in the game. You gotta build up the atmosphere first.
I have been working on the story for a few months now and I could say the main flow-chart is done.
Now I'm writing the script (dialog, narration, event flow...) and brushing out background side stories.
Being an interactive story the strong point of this game is the story-telling and character immersion in this world so what I'm desperately looking for at the moment is:
What I expect from the members of the project?
They have to be friendly, reliable, trustworthy, be truly interested in the story and development of the game from beginning to end; and of course, not expecting any money out of this as I'm not either.
By being part of the project you'll have plenty of information about the story of the game so I expect you to not be a douche and go around stealing/spoiling it. You can apport your ideas to the game too (that's the idea after all, working as a team to achieve something big). However I make the final decisions.
An interest in anime/JRPGs is a plus
I want a small but workable team.
What can I offer you in return?
A hug?
If you play Pokemon X/Y I can give you some good Pokemon >.<
I can also give you ideas for your project... I'm pretty good at that.
Other than that I dunno =(
Of course, you will be properly credited. You'll be in a team, after all.
Additional Info:
Characters (7):
(brief description)
- Nicholas: the protagonist. 17 years old, easy going guy that spends a lot of time playing video-games, watching movies and reading manga in his free time (which is plenty).
- Sebastian: 14 years old genius boy with 167 IQ points. Freak socially awkward guy.
- Franco: 17 years old known as a troublemaker (aka douche). Adventurer guy.
- Amber: 16 years old antipatic girl. She doesn't like people.
- Cynthia: 15 years old rich innocent girl. Daughter of the reowned ABON Corporation president.
- Janet: 17 years old energetic girl. Very positive and friendly.
- Valerie: The person in charge of the seminar. She decides the chores the students will have to perform. Luckily, she is very forgiving and caring.
Screenshots:
I don't have much mapped by now. But the events will make use of a map multiple times so that allows me to refine every one of them. WIP.
Like I said, this game is on early stages but I plan on going till the end with it. I so want to write this story
If you're interested and you think you can fulfill a role leave a message here or PM me if you're shy xD
We use Skype and Trello.
Forgive me if the post does not have the right presentation but what's important here is the game, isn't it?
I'll edit if anything.
Thanks for reading!

Being an interactive story the strong point of this game is the story-telling and character immersion in this world so what I'm desperately looking for at the moment is:
- Character Portrait Artist: I give you the description of every character with a small reference, then I leave the work up to you. Surprise me. I'm looking for anime style characters. Bust. OPEN. (1 applicant.)
- Spriter: In order to reduce text description I'll need plenty of sprites (sleep, swimming, kneeling, hands up...). Mack edits. OPEN. (1 applicant).
- Concept artist: Images play an important role in graphic novels. I don't expect Picasso to draw the pictures. I just want a simple, unique design that will transmit the feelings/idea to the lector/player. You'll mostly be drawing horror-gore scenes. Simple backgrounds, no worries. OPEN. (1 applicant)
- Writting checker: English is not my native language so I'm not that confident in my skills. However I think I have made a good job until now given that I have plenty of experience playing eroges, visual novels and other kind of games. Not a priority though. I won't give you the entire script but ask you how should I write a paragraph or an idea. FULL. (1 applicant)
- Composer: Not a priority but that'd be nice! Prepare themes for emotive scenes, horror scenes, funny scenes. OPEN. (1 applicant)

Here is a recent video I made (9/13/14) with some maps with mild effects:
