Well well well well
well. Looks like you guys have quite the ambitious undertaking going here. Color me intrigued! ^_^
If it's a classical RPG you're putting together, I know two things you'll need in abundance:
sprites, and quality
music. And, to an
extent, I can help with both.
There is a certain resource that will make music-hunting for the game vastly easier and give you no shortage of options to cull through:
FreePlayMusic.com. I've used their vast archive of thematically and genre-sorted music before for multimedia projects of my own and, as long as you don't have plans to charge for the game and properly credit the site, there
should be no issue with using what they have available. Just don't be surprised if you end up on there for hours at a time harvesting great music, for the game or otherwise -- the place can be
sliiiiiightly addictive.
As for sprites... I have some experience in that domain, and even given my now somewhat more limited free time I'd be willing to put in a bit of work on developing sprite resources. I should note that I'm not a sprite
artist per say -- I do my best work by editing and manipulating existing sprites, but as my portfolio will show those skills
can be quite versatile. Take a look:
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] And the prize gem of my (older) work:
[10]And here's some of my more recent work, done for the characters of Painterlee and myself (they're just little one-offs, not full sheets):
So, as I said, I'm willing to devote some of my time to doing sprite work for the game, provided I'm not expected to create
all the sprites used. I do, however, have a... special request, something I'd like in exchange for my work.
I'd like my character
Kasna to feature in the game as a hidden boss fight. She's a bad@$$ psychotic Adhara / Knight of the White Lily, so finding a way of working her in as a "secret" fight shouldn't be that hard. Just want to make my mark on the game with more than sprites, you understand. ^_^
Anyways, lemme know what you think! And if there's any other spriters on board with this, let's get together and coordinate, share resources and the like, eh?
