Need (Any style) Artist for multiple branching J-RPG style game
Hey everyone, so I caved in on the last time Steam had a sale on RPG maker MV and have been working on a first project. I can't offer any payment this would be more of a collaboration and as such, I am just looking for anyone who can draw in no specific style, but it would be an on going project and it would be on going work to which once the projects artwork and music for chapter 1 is complete (some music done using RPG makers assets for art) I would be giving it away for free, as it is my "Training" project.
I don't have "Several hours" of plot scripted, if I want to be fully honest there are 2 plotlines for chapter 1 complete, both I believe would take half an hour to run through, though as I know where everything is, I can't be a good judge of that quality of the game as I've based it around exploring and finding the plot for yourself, e.g a character will tell you the best option, and you can either follow the lead, or openly explore for the most part. So there is probably several hours of exploring the two stories and lore of the world.
A summary of the theme of the game is "Sci-fi/fantasy" there are fantasy elements but they are minor, Imagine newer FF but more based on our own modern world. so there is wiggle room with the artwork for sure.
the one thing to say about the artwork is I'm looking to make the battle characters twice as tall as the default RMMV actors, their clothing would be based on their class. e.g Someone is a doctor, they have a doctors coat, someone is a guard they have combat armour etc. etc. would want a few different "Expressions" for portrait and I don't really mind how the Overworld sprites would be, so long as they fit with the other art thematically.
The story itself is different on each "Timeline" but essentially there is a "Turmoil" playthrough where the worst things happen throughout and you save the world while sacrificing alot of people throughout. the other plot is an investigation plot where you and the party try to find out why what has happened has happened, both leading to the same outcome.
I have myself, I can I can make very basic pixel art, but I have problems with colours (As I'm colourblind) I will be composing music for the game once I am happy with the scripting (ironing out bugs as I make this post).
Since this would essentially be a collaboration I would absolutely accept insights/ideas/questplots/character ideas/names for places etc. from the person joining, you don't need to script it or anything, I'm just looking for an artist, do as much work as you want for this collab, it's a first project not a giant AAA blockbuster.
PM me for the chapter 1 demo (Which still needs more work, hence why I haven't demo'd it and am only giving it to people who may be interested in helping the project) and see if you would like to work on this project. once I complete chapter 1(Art/music/cutscenes/instances) I will be deciding if I will go onwards based on if people enjoy it or not.
I don't think I've missed anything in this wall of text, Any further questions just throw a comment or PM.
Only real requirement is the sprites/artwork being at least 16-bit.
