Kazoo Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Hello! I am from a team of people working on an original Fire Emblem fangame with its own story, game models, programming, art, etc. Because we just started the project, there are only a few of us, and we need more help!Skype will be used for the planning of the story, a website called Trello for the storyboarding, and FEXP for the actual game. We are currently in need of programmers and artists. The art style of the game will be similar to that of Awakening. People who are experienced at using Trello and/or FEXP are appreciated, but you don't have to know how to use them to join us. Also, some basic plot ideas are in place already.If you're interested, send me a message! Edited August 23, 2015 by Kazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I am currently working with RPGMaker VX Ace to make my game. (Perhaps you've heard of it?) I'm not the best at using it, but I know quite a bit. I can test the game, but it together, fix events, etc. I've pretty much built my entire game from the ground up, so I have experience with the engine. Have you tried going on to the RPGMaker forums for a rallying call as well? They also have a long list of scripts you can use. And, sure, I'm on board! Need something to do to pass the free time I have while I'm waiting for my game to be released. And I don't use Skype cause my camera doesn't work, but I can do some work behind the scenes.

Kazoo Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 We'd love to have you! I'll send you more details in a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritisa Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Why are you coding your own RPGXP engine when FEXP exists? That sounds like a terrible waste of effort. If you're going to make your own engine at least use a different program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazoo Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 We actually didn't know about FEXP. Thank you for telling us, though! Using it will make things much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Salt Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Hello all!! I am also apart of this project! I just wanted to post some info and stuff. We have three, unnamed nations. One is based off of Egypt. The other is based off of ancient Rome. And the third is based off of Denmark. The Avatar/MU will be customizable! They have multiple classes that they can start out as. They come from the nation which is based off of Egypt. The Sprite Style will be Awakening’s style. And the programming will be in FEXP. We are in desperate need of artists for sprite portraits and map sprites! People who can draw and design characters are needed too! Most of the art, besides concepts, needs to be digital, as well. We are also desperately needing programmers who are familiar with the FEXP program! ...Because we have no idea what we're doing with it.

Maritisa Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Not to attack you or anything but really all I'm seeing in this thread is "GUYS MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE THIS REALLY COOL IDEA THAT WE WANNA MAKE A GAME OUT OF BUT NONE OF US CAN DO ANYTHING, SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO'LL DO ALL THE WORK FOR US. THANKS EVERYONE." Like no seriously that's all I'm seeing here. You say you have a team but uh... What do you guys actually do?

Sea Salt Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) You are kiiind of coming off as attacking us. But that's okay. We have people for storyboarding, music, character design so far. So that is work. Planning, scripting, making supports and music. That counts as work. That counts as something. Something important. Please don't imply that creating stories is not work. We need digital artists and a couple of coders. We're not looking for an army of people. Edited August 23, 2015 by Sea Salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritisa Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Planning, scripting, making supports and music. Planning, no. Anybody can plan shit. I hardly even count people who fling all the gazillions of things into spreadsheets, but that's at least something people can work with. Storyboarding... ...Wait, since when does Fire Emblem have storyboarding in its development unless you're like Awakening and roll in full 3D? FEXP doesn't support that stuff unless you do some prerender work. Scripting as in writing the story? Yeah that counts too. Gods know how many godawful stories have sifted through these boards... Support writing I've never seen just one person dedicated to lol that seems kind of weird to me but whatever works in your workflow...? Character development is worthy enough of a dedicated person though. Composers are ridiculously hard to come by so you get props for even having one.

Sea Salt Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Okay. Your experiences apparently count as law. They govern over everyone who is trying to make a game. Everyone makes the game in the same way that you would. This is the first fan game any of us have made. It's the first fan game I've made. We're new to it. Not experts yet. Storyboarding, as in plotting. Planning the story. I used the wrong term, I'm sorry for that. Edited August 23, 2015 by Sea Salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celice Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Agreed with Lamia--just ignore the shit posts from shit people in the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghast Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) A few things: 1. If you guys are looking for sprite work because you are unable to sprite yourselves, I suggest that you take a look at the open source sprites over in the spriting boards. Open Source Gallery Nickt's open source mugs (these are GBA insertable, not FEXP) these are a good start for mugs if you want to differentiate from gbafe mugs. 2. There is a difference between constructive feedback and being a dick; this section isn't cool with the latter. Especially for newcomers in the community. Ritisa, for future reference, cut it out pls. 3. I'll be moving this to concepts as it is more fitting for this thread to be there. Good luck, fellas. Edited August 23, 2015 by Uncle Ghatsu!

Alex95 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Calling for help on a completely voluntary game is troublesome, huh? I've done it before, but I at least had some experience with RPGMaker doing the rallying cry. Because your work seems to be focused more on FEXP or whatever, I feel I am no longer able to work on the project as I have yet to use that program. Sorry. :( Unless RPGMaker is still in use in some way! Sorry to say that calling for help for a fan-based project on a forum is not usually the best way to get help. People will (more often than not) shoot you down unless some form of compensation is involved in some way, I've been told. The team I have (me, my brother, and Haon on here) was put together because I have been showing off my game for some time now and they came to me instead of the other way around. It also helped that it was a completely original idea and not one based on an already existing franchise. In my experiences, it's best to show off what little you have first and then see who looks interested. I have not put together a fan-based game (technology-wise) yet, though I have some planned, so I don't know how this team building works with an idea based around a fan project. I'm not trying to bag on your idea here, but I'm sorry to say that, if you want a bigger team to help you, it might be best to rework your idea into something more original. Keep in mind that team building may take some time regardless, though... However, I would like to see this project go though! I don't like it when games get canceled due to lack of team members, even if it's a fan game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazoo Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I see. It's sad that you can't be a part of the team, but understandable why you'd want to withdraw from the project. Thank you anyway, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobyTheGoober Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I might be able to help with sprite work (Portraits mostly) if you don't have anyone helping you with that. I'll send you some of my work if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
