(obligatory 'hi, i'm new')
Hello, I'm looking for a couple people to help with a Yume Nikki-esque game. If you don't know what Yume Nikki is, look up LoudMan01's Let's Plays of the game on youtube. For those of you who don't want to watch, Yume Nikki is an ambient/exploration/horror game made by a Japanese guy named Kikiyama in RPG Maker 2003. It tends to be hit or miss with most people and has garnered a reasonable cult following. There's no dialogue, no battles, (almost) no enemies, and the game is focused around exploring your dreams and finding stuff.
Basically, the game will be a sort of spiritual successor to Yume Nikki - a similar style of graphics, playstyle and atmosphere - with several additions, changes, and such. The game itself, in addition to Yume Nikki, will be inspired by mythology and folklore, with a spotlight put on the Divine Comedy.
There will be multiple endings to the game, utilizing a good/evil system to decide which ending you get (like the Shin Megami Tensei games). Depending on your actions your good/evil ranking goes up or down.
The game will have meaning, though it will be rather subliminal and up to the player to determine for themselves what the game means to them.
I have been using RPG Maker (started with the PSX version) since I was around 9... so I know enough about it. I can't make scripts from scratch but I can make slight edits to existing ones. My main contribution to the project will be sprites. I usually make monsters, mugshots, etc but I've been making tiles recently and it's a lot of fun. Examples of my sprites can be found
here.. If you want to see examples of games I've made, you can message me (contact info later down the post) and I'll send them to you.
The game will be made in RPG Maker VX.
I'm in need of mostly a composer at this point, though someone who can make Yume Nikki-esque parallex backgrounds would be appreciated, as would be a scripter.
You can contact me through my MSN: kyriaki@earthlink.net
Thanks.
