Hello, Left4DeathInFire here to tell all of you pixel artist that I am looking for a... well... a pixel artist. RockOn12 and I are making a RPG and need your help to create some fancy pixel art. The type of pixel art we need is just regular pixels, just no 8-bit. I have concept art at the bottom of the post here. I am posting the story as well and here it is. (This is only a small snippet)
A man/woman living in a modern day 2010, living a moderate life with minimal downs. One day on his/her way to work he/she saw a poor woman, residing in a box, with horribly tatattered clothing on, begging for money and hope. As he/she walked pass the woman, he/she dropped 5$ in her silver can of change. The woman thought of that act as a act of belittling and cast a spell on him/her and sent him/her back in time.
The man/woman found him/herself in Medival times of Castles and Dragons, only thought of fake mythology. He/she went to the nearest house and asked for a explanation of why he/she may be in these times. A old man answered to his/her knock on the door and asked him/her to come inside his humble home. The old man stared for minutes at the man/womans clothing as they were not from this time. He, being a nice old man, gave him/her some era appropriate attire and proceeded to ask him/her what was so important to ask him for help.
He/She explained the story of disarray to the man and as this man was living in a far back time period did not understand the man/woman story as he/she explained but, when he/she referred to the woman in tattered clothing, The man thought of a old shut-in who lived at the top of Rolae(Rolay) Mountain trail. He explained to the mysterious stranger that he didn't know what the man/woman was talking about but, he told him/her about the old woman who lived far into the forest, that may be of some assistance, as you start to leave he starts to explain that the trail to Rolae(Rolay) Mountain is trechorous and very disturbing, he advises you to buy weapons and armor.
He/she does not want to follow his advice as he/she wants to get home as quickly as possible but, he/she realizes he/she doesn't not want to die either so he/she asks around town to where the nearest blacksmith can be found and finds out that he resides in the town centre. You enter his home to find that nobody is there but, as you take a couple of steps further the owner of the shop appears behind you and ask what you are doing at his home. You explain that you want to buy some high class weapons and armor to travel to Rolae(Rolay) Mountain, he then explains that you will need high class Yuns to buy high class weapons. You are confused to what Yuns are and ask him to explain, he assumes that you haven't been in this town for long, he explains that this town is named Rolae(Rolay) named after the mountain that casts a giant shadow over the town and that Yuns are the town's currency and you need some Yuns to buy anything here. He informs you that there are people in the village that are willing to trade some Yuns for a little work.
After he/she obtains the required Yuns to buy a basic metal sword, You return to the blacksmith's house to buy the weapon before you do the blacksmith reveals his name to be "Apparition" a nickname bestowed by his family. He hands you a sword that you can barely keep in you hand. He tells you that you may need some armor as well, and informs you that his brother who lives on the upper floor of the building sells Armor for Yuns and after you analyze how much Yuns you have left Apparition lets you know that you have just enough for a basic metal chestplate which should be enough for the Rolae(Rolay) Mountain Trail.
After he/she buys the basic metal chestplate from Apparition's brother Ghost, you set your sights on the Rolae(Rolay) Mountain Trail.
After a trechorous journey through the Trail, you find yourself at Rolae(Rolay) Mountain. You see a broken down house just 4 feet from the entrance into a cave that is embedded into the mountain. He/she knocks on the door and finds the exact same woman who brought you here staring you straight in the face. You jump into battle stance and gets ready for a fight and demands that she send you back into your own time. She has a confused look on her face and also demand that you explain to her what is your problem, after you explain she understands the situation and informs you that you have been Time Spaced by this woman's great great great grandmother. She explains that she comes from a family of gypsies that have the power to control Space and Time. You explain to her that you want to go back to 2010 and not XXXAD. She explains that she can send you further in time but, not all the way to 2010 and tells you that she can send you to the era of steam works and explains that her great grandmother is there but, you need to find her to advance in time. She casts a spell on you and your adventure really begins!
I hope that you like the story if you wish to join the team. As you can see we would need a lot of things besides a couple of characters. We need buildings, NPCs, objects, weapons, armor, and seeing that before I went into 3rd person you have the option to choose your character's gender, I would need 2 sprites male and female. I would also need to easily change there appearance with armor and weapons.
I wouldn't want to put a huge strain on you with the objects and such, I would like to work the design somewhat like pokemon games like how every house is the same just different colors and such like that. I would also need many NPCs so you can do it the same way for that as well.
The game doesn't work by levels or stages but, by missions and time periods. I would need a different set of objects for each period which would include:
1) Medevial
2) SteamPunk (Steam Powered Era)
3) WW2 Era (Set in France)
4) Present Day (Set in San Fransico)
I know people will ask me this. It isn't battle orientated but, there are battles. They will be as frequent as The Room Tribute battles ( I may be under exxagerating ). They will operate the same way, like there are only 2 options when a battle is commenced. I will be turn based and I do not want to use the same sprites as the battle and regular gameplay unless your sprites are big and detailed then that could work as well.
If you would like to join post here or PM me or RockOn12 about joining and please include a sample of your work or if you would like us to check your newgrounds profile, just say that.
