Tales of Ableon, a medieval fantasy RPG game
Introduction
Hello there, my name is Geebekay and I'm currently working on a project named "Tales of Ableon" (the name itself is a subject to change).
Ever since I was a young guy I have always had a really wide imagination. I have always dreamt of making a game where I could make use of this imagination. However, I never really studied game design (I studied law) and thus I was never able to give this ambition of mine it's place. RPG Maker MV however, has recently given me this chance.
The game
The game itself is going to take place in a fantasy world called Ableon (once again, the name might be temporary). In the game you play as a sellsword hired by the king of Galdaria to investigate ruins North of the continent. What might seem like a simple assignment ends up as a large adventure. During the journey the player will learn about the world of Ableon (Already thought of all the lore behind the world, I love making lore) and meet new companions with each their distinctive personality and backstory.
Recruitment
Despite having great ideas however, there are many talents that I don't have. The game is currently in a very early stage, past the prologue and right before the very first dungeon. At this point the game is made with the default RPG Maker MV resources. I want my game to have it's own unique artstyle, music and tilesets. To do this, I need your help. For this project I need the following:
Artists
I thought I might aswell start with the big one. In order to give the game it's own distinctive style I'll require people to make art. I need artists to make to following:
Portraits
Drawn portraits for use in dialog. For some of them I have already made characters in the character creator (to get a general idea of what a character should look like) and for others I haven't made a character design just yet. I want the dialog of the game to look similar to that of games such as Fire Emblem, where you see 2 characters on your screen drawn from waist up. As for the artstyle I'd prefer an anime-esque artstyle similar to that of RPG Maker or Fire Emblem.
Sprites and Battlesprites
Sprites to be used in the world and during battle. The design of the sprites should obviously be based on the design of the portraits. Not a big fan of chibis so I'd like the sprites to be a bit bigger.
Tilesets
In order to give the game it's own artstyle it would be great to have a talented artist make custom tilesets for various areas.
Composer
It would be great if the game has it's own soundtrack. The soundtrack will consist of music for various areas and various battlethemes. But there will also be a soundtrack for specific cutscenes and notifications.
Mapper
I like designing maps. However, I'm kind of inexperienced in doing so. It would be very helpful to have an experienced mapper design dungeons and areas (or help me with designing them).
Balancer
The job of the balancer is basically going to be all about preventing the game from becoming too easy or too hard on various points. The balancer's duty is going to consist of balancing out stats and skills and playtesting the game.
Animator
If possible, I'd like to have an animator create various cutscenes throughout the game.
Rewards
Since I don't have alot of money (mostly due to paying for the rent and my study) you won't get paid for your work. However, I'm obviously going to put your name or nickname (or either, whichever is your preference) in the credits.
Trade
Besides that I'm willing to offer my service to you in return. While I might not be great at drawing art or designing dungeons, I'm very good at writing. I'd love to come up with lore for your world or backstories for your characters.
I really hope to get myself a team that will help me bring the world that I have created to life. If you are interested in helping me then please send me a PM or comment down below.
