Back in 2011, I started working on an RPG fan-game based on the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica series". Originally this was being made on RPG Maker VX, but as of this year (with a temporarily loss of motivation in between 2012 to now) has been rebooted to RPG Maker VX Ace. The game is progressing well so far, but I still need lots of help.
As this is a fan-made game, it has elements from the original anime series. So if your not familiar, I'd recommend doing a quick research on the original anime. (While not required, watching it can help as it is only 12 episodes long, but I recommend bringing a tissue box if your going in blind) As for the story of this game, it is set after the events of the anime and is my own interpretation of a follow up story. (This story was made before the "Rebellion" movie was made, so this fan-game is it's own story and won't be connected to "Rebellion") It follows story of Elaine Cruxis, (or Elly for short) a young 13 year old girl who moved to Japan with her aunt and uncle due to her uncle's job. While Elly does adjust living in Japan, she has a hard time making friends as she comes off as very off putting. It is after she is saved from creatures called Wraiths by a trio of Magical Girls and learns about what a Magical is and does that she makes a contract with Kyubey and becomes one herself, though she isn't very good at it at first. In addition to this, Elly tries to befriend the new student of her classroom, Riko Miyamoto, but fails but is confused when Riko asks her and the other Magical Girls what they are fighting for. When the source of the Wraiths is revealed to be creatures that hid in the shadows, demons, the girls go for one of the source that just appeared and search for the lead demon. It is there that they encounter a demon named Katsuo Watanabe, who has slain the demon. Despite Katsuo's claims to not be the girl's enemy, they don't trust his words, except for Elly who questions who he is. Who is Katsuo? What is is true goals? And why was Riko questioning Elly and the others? What Elly doesn't know is these two encounters will set her down the road that will change her life forever.
As for the help I am seeking, I need:
artists to help draw some of the art (this includes character designs, facesets, character busts, cut-scene art and such)
pixel artists to help make some of the sprites (mainly Holder battlers) as well as other stuff (like tilesets, skill animations and icons for example)
animator to work with the artist and created animated video cut-scenes for me to add in
music/sound maker to make music and sound for the game.
For those working with the project, I do expect to tell me valid reasons if you need to drop out or if you want to take a break. I am understanding and fully willing to take as long as it takes to make this game, but I will not tolerate on purpose laziness or procrastination. IRL stuff does come first and things happen, I understand that, but don't be lazy for the sake of being lazy is what I am saying. I also expect everyone to respect on another and work together as a team, I've made a QuickTopic form for everyone who will help me to discuss the project, so if you want in, tell me here or in PMs and I'll give you the link in PMs. (Once again, I'm not requiring you to know the anime this fan-game is based from. But I do recommend it as it will help and it is a good anime. Just again if you do decided to watch it, I highly ask you to bring a tissue box because you will need it for this 12 episode anime. I've had friends cry during this anime)
Bellow are five screenshots of the game. Credit goes to everyone who helped make the sprites, scripts, battle-backs and such I'm using so far. The gameplay focuses on decision making as some of the big choices will determine how the game ends, randomly generated dungeons with enemies wandering around and an ATB battle system with enemies that grow stronger as you do. (In other-words, an Enemy Level script) So if you want to help assist me in finishing this game, please do tell me here or in PMs and I'll give you the link to where the discussion for the project will be. Best I can offer in exchange for help if you'd want to trade though is offering to be a test player for your game (as I am a big RPG fan) and/or giving a sort of extended version of the demo whenever I reach the point that I can give out a demo. (Though I will have a bit of rules for the extended demo, but that's for later)
Thanks
