Hello! We are Studio Spiral Dream, an organization and Art Studio dedicated to helping artists of all kinds while also working on our own Projects.
We are currently in need of some assistance with our RPG Maker Game, "Killer Flamingo" as only one of our members has the knowledge of the program while the rest of us are working on Illustration or Promotional Works for the game and another project.
We do hope that this amount of information is sufficient enough to tell you what we're trying to do with the game! As for the length, despite all the information we have given and the features we want to implement, the main story itself isn't very long at all! And while there is a final boss, there is no "Big Bad" villain. We want to give the player as much freedom to do whatever they want for as long as they want and have a great time playing and not be bogged down with traditional RPG cliche's and annoyances. The world is more of a combination of modern/sci-fi/fantasy than just one or the other.
For those that are able to help we will definitely consider making you our de-facto game team for future projects or even become apart of our organization as we continue to make more interesting and fun games or other creative projects in the future! We thank you for reading this ad and if you have any free time at all please feel free to message us at our email "teamspiralgo@gmail.com"! After doing so we will link you to our Game Development Discord Group where you can see the progress of everything we've done so far or are doing in general and get immediate feedback etc!
Any all work you contribute to the project will be based on your commission price(s) as we plan to make this a commercialized game. And in the future if you're interested in becoming a permanent member of the team we will definitely put you on board and commission your services for future Video Game or other creative projects we undertake!
~(The Game is being made in RPG Maker MV)~
Thank you once again!~
Edit: The team is mostly complete we're now only seeking people for Battle Animations! Sorry in Advance!

We are currently in need of some assistance with our RPG Maker Game, "Killer Flamingo" as only one of our members has the knowledge of the program while the rest of us are working on Illustration or Promotional Works for the game and another project.
A young woman by the name of "Sreda" must travel to the Southern Badlands in order to become the next "Lorekeeper" in order to cure her people of a mysterious illness. In order to make sure she makes it there safely, a legendary "Watcher" named "Killer Flamingo" is hired to escort her.
Sreda, the Time Mage (Concept Art by Melanie Ovalle aka "bishiegiraffe" Design not finalized.)
The Main Protagonist of Killer Flamingo. She quests together with the “Killer Flamingo” in order to become the next Lorekeeper and save her hometown. Due to her origins she is very cynical and skeptical of people and sometimes comes off as arrogant due to her people's power over Time Manipulation. However she means well and is a bit naive due to her sheltered life.
A Heartbreaker Named Eris (Concept Art by Melanie Ovalle aka "bishiegiraffe" Design not finalized.)
A Heartbreaker named Eris is an eccentric, while people understand what they are saying they don’t understand their meaning.
They're a bit arrogant and sarcastic, often times saying rude things even when they're well-intended. They do not care for much at all but music and flirting (to the chagrin of Sreda) however they always seem to be there when it matters most. They also prefer being called their whole name, not just "Eris" but "A Heartbreaker Named Eris". They tend to refer to themselves in 3rd person.
Rob the Seraphim (Original Idea by Kadokawa/Enterbrain, Concept Art by Melanie Ovalle aka "bishiegiraffe")
“Rob” is an otherworldly being who created a mech-like suit of armor in order to fulfill his dream of becoming a "Spiral Knight" He has taken the examination to become one and somehow has failed each and every time. He's very boisterous yet friendly and is always willing to lend a hand in the name of Justice. He frequently has people take a quick survey of his Knighting ability after rescuing them.
Killer Flamingo (Concept Art by Valerie Galindo design not finalized.)
The titular character and a famous "Watcher" for hire. An apathetic man who doesn't really care about his clients or their problems and is only concerned with getting paid. He wields a magic weapon known as "Lorraine" a two-handed sword that has the ability to change it's elemental properties giving the wielder distinct advantages in and out of battle. Killer takes the job of escorting Sreda to the Southern Badlands because he was offered an extraordinary amount of money...And because no one else is either brave or stupid enough to go there. He has a bad habit of forgetting things he doesn't view as important, these things include Sreda's name.
King Bite (Concept Art by Melanie Ovalle aka "bishiegiraffe" Design not finalized.)
King Bite is the current and 47th King of the Reverie Kingdom. He is also the first Dragonskin King. His methods are abnormal and unorthodox as most Kings tend to dress appropriately and have their Soldiers fight in their place.
King Bite personally takes care of any threat that encroaches upon the Kingdom of Reverie, if the ceilings of Reveria Castle are any indication.
Some disagree with his methods however his approval rating is 88%. However this may largely be due to him dating the incarnation of hatred and darkness, Calamity Witch Scharlotte. He disallows Sreda and company from proceeding to the Southern Badlands until they have proven themselves.
Calamity Witch, Scharlotte (Concept Art by Melanie Ovalle aka "bishiegiraffe" Design not finalized.)
Years ago in the world of Gyre, The Calamity Witch, Scharlotte tried to use her powers to convert the world into zombie servants.
However, due to the efforts of King Bite and the Spiral Knights, they were able to quell her from progressing her vendetta.
King Bite and Scharlotte’s battle lasted for 9 long days and nights. Destroying the Witch’s castle and leaving a crater in the ground from their battle. After being defeated, King Bite persuaded her to channel her energy into more positive things.
A bit later on, the two began to date.

At the moment we are using default tilesets and animations along with Aekashics' Battlers to test things out for now, as we would like to focus more on the world and characters and the way they interact with one another before we focus heavily on making it super pretty. We would like to make even NPC's memorable to the player, not just the Main cast. We're also using Yanfly's Doodad script to tidy up any of the maps to make them a bit less bland. Unfortunately since they only show in the maker itself, the maps may look a tad bland (lacking any other accessories to the map like rocks, plant life etc.)
By discovering new locations and talking to NPC's and learning new information about the world around you, you're rewarded with EXP, Gold, Items, Materials for Synthesis and more! So be sure to explore and talk to people and information signs as frequently as possible.
The game has a built in Compass for finding destinations such as main story quests or side quest destinations easily and for convenience. There is also a Time System with Night and Day elements, even the Lights turn on and off depending on the time.
In the game, we will probably try to use busts for conversations between main characters or situations like this. We're thinking of possibly including Voice Acting into the game as well.
