I've been working on the plot for this game for quite a while, and I am currently working with my concept artist to get the main characters and such down. I am still searching for someone to do my battle sprites s if you're interested let me know. The game is planned to be in rm2k3 and it's going to be a very plotful game. It take place in a medieval world over the course of one main continent and two other continents which aren't focused on as much as the one. The continents are Gadrine, Syorinxe, and Endein. Endein and Syorinxe are mainly just one big piece and a few characters are connected to these two but most of the story take place on Gadrine. Gadrine is seperated into many nations. I'm going to post a link to my site (under construction, majorly) and you can go see the characters and stuff for yourself. Like I said though it's under construction and i'm working fervently to get more info up on it. I orginally planned on making it an SRPG but creating an engine within any rpg maker for a battle system like that is no small or easy task. So for now i'm sticking to traditional rm2k3 style. And hey, who knows, if I get more hype maybe i'll get the other battle system up and running. My other idea I had was making one big game and having you start off with two character options then having each character have chapters and you unlock more chars and chapoters as you play. This idea is quite overwhelming when put to the test, so I think I am going to release multiple games that each focus on a seperate one of these characters. so either drop me an im (rainblade 105) if you have questions or wanna chat about my game, or post here and i'll gladly rant to you about it. Thanks for checking this out, and i'll post my site below. If you use any of my character pics without my permission my concept artist and I will hunt you down and kill you.

As much as I wish people would visit my site, I guess i'm still going to put a little more about the game here.
Because...I have like nothing on the site, though I will be updating it very frequently.
Each character goes through a personal struggle in which they must overcome some sort of obstacle. Some characters will face devestation beyond belief, and some will be seeking something. We will start with the main two characters.
The Black Knight (I know, cheesiest overdone character type ever)
-A once ordinary man transformed by his greedy father in pursuit for the ultimate stone. His body was altered by a new type of magic emitted from the stone called Anrai, it was not only externally transformed but internally as well. After the transformation the black knight would experience fits of immense pain, he now could summon a great deal of strength to overcome almost anything, and he also noticed that he aged much slower than before. He is not sure exactly what happened or how he can reverse it, but he wants nothing more than to rid himself of the burden of power placed on him by his father. He then becomes entangled with the nation of Mogrimme figuring that with their extensive research on the stone he might be able to find a cure. Instead of giving him a cure though he is quickly pulled into the nations plot to take over all of Gadrine, Mogrimme uses his unstoppable power to grant their one wish. The black knight is not naive though, he knows that they aren't going to just give him a cure, because then he might leave them and they will no longer have their knight. He plans to wait for the right opportunity and take what he wants, to finally rid himself of his disease.
General Gandre Azelas
-An esteemed and respected general in the Vostarlia Storm Brigade. He is a master of the sword and natural magic alike. He comes from a wealthy noble family that had everything, but he saw the flaws and cracks in the world and wanted to repair them, so he set out at a young age to achieve this goal. He eventually became one of the most influential figures in all of Vostarlia and beyond. He is both respected and admired for his kind attitude, and his skill with a blade. He leads the storm brigade against the increasing "raider" attacks slowly realizing the true intentions of Mogrimme. He is eventually betrayed by someone on the inside and must fight his personal kindness and his dedication to his country.
I am officially beginning work on the introduction to the game. I have updated my site once again, and my character artist is off his little hiatus and doing minor character portraits for me right now. (Yay! I get to get my wallet drained exponentially again!) I have been making battle sprites, charsets, and Mugs for my characters as well so the actual game is progressing quite slowly. Since my music guy is about as dependable as moose with no legs and a cannonball strapped to his face i'm gathering offbeat music and putting it together for my game. Please go to the website or im me if you want to know more about the game because I just do not have the time to sit on here and explain it to people. Thanks for reading, and for the interest!

1. Whoever your artist is, don't let them go. That art is very nice.
2. People here don't really care much for going to a site to find out what a game is about. I'd suggest you add the storyline or something to your first post.
3. Freewebs is terrible. I understand it may be the only thing you can do at the moment, but when you can, move to something else.
Well anyway, looks promising. I wish you luck.

My god your artist is terribly awesome. I'm not sure if you could get a spriter from this point though, normally a spriter would join in if...
a. You have a proof of concept
b. Technical Skills
c. Screenshots of the work you've done
or...
Trades

Hmm... Unless there is a swell of people who can't spell Phoenix correctly, I'm a little suspicious of your sudden arrival.

They're my dupes. Don't delete me.
Also, yes, you're character artist is very good. :)

:lol: That was fast. Haha, I know phoenix is spelled wrong, it's an old english way I read in a book long ago and it stuck with me. Thanks for kudos on my character artist, he is pretty great. And I know I won't get sprites for nothing, I am paying my artist very well for his work, I am quite serious about this game. Thanks for the sudden interest well. Freewebs is terrible but easy to work with.

Does anyone else happen to be interested in the game? Or suggestions as to what I should put here to interest people?
-
You have no screenshots. Because of that, no one can really tell if you are actually working on this. (Also, new projects get some attention for a while, but then it tends to go away, so this is normal.)
I still think it could turn out very good, so please do not get discouraged.

To tell the truth I don't have much in the way of screenshots since an actual small portion of the game is all that's completed. I am working on this mainly solo so I am making all of the sprites/battle sprites for it which hinders actual game progress greatly. And i'm sketchy about posting them because they're mostly custom and I don't want them stolen but I'll be sure to get up what I can though.
