FREE TRAILBLAZER RPG Recruitment

[Jordman The Swordman]

Hello like-minded, video game, programmers!
I am in the very early stages of this new project, a project I like to call "Trailblazer RPG". It is the 2nd most prioritized project, of the 3 that I am now working on. I rate this game 2nd, because, I think it is one of the more fresher & likeable of the ideas so far.
I have 3 projects on the go... Originally it was just "Supra-Verse Saga: Thrall Brawls". I accidentally posted 2 recruitment forums for it. Whhoooppppsssss!!!!!! Then, before I realized it - I posted a recruitment page for "SMU"... My solution to the extra post is to change the extra; into my newest idea: "Trailblazer RPG".
All positions are open for the production of this game. My greatest weaknesses; as a game maker are: Art, Music & Scripting. I'm hoping we can put heads together & come up with a really good game - to sell commercial. I can't pay any salaries, I'm green about the accounting part of it. But, I would like to pay based on copy sold. I don't want to use anyone elses resources, I want to start fresh from scratch.
Sorry for the long introduction...
So this is the idea for this project... Your character is in a world overrun with monsters & wilderness. It is your job, as the protagonist, to clear out the monsters & pave the way for civilization. As the areas are cleared of monsters & cleared of rocks and forest - they gradually become populated with civilization & friendly characters. It's some what of a world building game.
- 1700's - 1900's Technology
- Fantasy (Magic) - Western (Pre-Modern)
- Cowboys & Ninjas
I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures for this 1; this post is made to fix the problem with the double post I mentioned. I'll get on it soon...

Are there any specific skill sets or functions/duties that you expect from the positions that you're recruiting? You've indicated which roles you're looking for, but information other than seems to be very sparse; increasing verbosity may help in attracting others.

Edit: It seems like you've also stated an interested in making this a commercial project. It might help to extend that, and provide information on whether or not you'll be compensating team members.

Uuummm I thought there was a 3 day probation before this was posted.


None-the-less...


Actors, face, sv battlers, tile set art, monsters - the works...


As well as music, sound fx...


I don't plan on paying anyone for their work, until there has been some kind of royalties made. Then I'm willing to pay equal royalties.


I suppose pay by details should be fair.

I've been composing since middle school, and I have both a violin and finale 2014. But my questions are, what engine are you using? Do you have a sample contract for such a project? do you know anything about music (I mean I cannot make music that isn't well described and have it to your liking)? What about your project do you think stands out from all the other projects? What do you like the most about your premise?


If I were a swallow, and you tied a coconut to me, could I fly?


I have some free music on a soundcloud, and some solo violin music on another (granted I did not do my best in all those recordings for various reasons)




I have heard this one in particular is my best work on violin, 

 

[Jordman The Swordman]

Hey Chungsie! Your music sounds awesome! I like it - I like it a lot! For this game, (as if this could ever be as classic as the original theme song for Final Fantasy) I hope to find some real signature sounds. I could give you some examples of worlds I want to use, and maybe locations too. However, I would rather be less detailed right now,


because you never know who might find this thread and maybe plagiarize. My story development is still a little early, but I expect the usual atmospheres as most RPG's.


Here's an example of music I would find suitable. The second screen shot I show; is the title screen. It would be good if I could get some pumped up theme song, followed by the vocals exclaiming the title of the game.


P.S. - I play guitar A LITTLE. I also have some lyrics that I wouldn't mind being put into the project.

 

[Jordman The Swordman]

I might as well say... I already have the plans for all the geography, characters, classes, skills, and items. So you wouldn't have to fuss about that. If you don't like something in it you/we can change it. Actually, I think I have way to many weapons, though.

 

[Jordman The Swordman]

Ohhh... Whoops! I said I am looking to recruit people to my team. No... I have no team. It's just me - a writer.

Jordman The Swordman, please avoid double posting, as it is against the forum rules. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.


Actually, it's a triple post.  If you want to add something, simply edit your existing post.


Would you also please put those images in your first post inside a spoiler.  At the moment they makes scrolling down the page slower, and for some people will cause the page to load very slowly.

@Jordman The Swordman Do you know the personality of your characters yet? Or what you want them to look like? (It'll be easier for artists to join you if they know what kind of characters to make.) 

 

[chungsie]

also, @Jordman The Swordman you did not provide sample music you desired, and no sample contract. just pm me what you're looking for and how you do business.

Your game sounds interesting, though I would definitely need more details! I am a composer/musician, and I would possibly be willing to contribute. Feel free to PM me about it if you're interested in my music. My soundcloud actually spans a few years, so the first tracks are not of the same sound quality of the last tracks, but I am improving all the time.

Hey I would like to apply for the position of writer. The gameplay side of things in this game sound pretty cool and there's shades of innovation there for sure. Do you have a general plot outline at all?

In terms of my experience. I have been writing since a young age as a hobby and have personally worked with RPG make for 5 years. I made a short film within it 3 years back which was in the style of a fairy tale, and last year made a fully functioning 2 hour long educational game. I really want to get some experience writing for games within a team now! Let me know if you have any more questions!
